This data is not stored and is deleted once safe delivery of prizes has been undertaken.
  • in the instance of purchase of special branded items via the website, personal data including name, email, telephone and address details will be gathered for the delivery of said items. This information is held for maximum of 6 weeks after close of the sales period, once all deliveries and sales queries have been successfully concluded.
