We may otherwise use and disclose your personal information if you have given us consent for the use or disclosure or it is required or authorised by law.
Generally, we use and disclose your personal information for the purpose of providing you with the goods or services that you have requested, or otherwise enable us to carry out our business as an online retailer of goods and services.
