Why does Bayou Bathrooms require my personal data?We capture data for a number of reasons:

This data is essential to us fulfilling your requirement and is collected as part of our on-going business activities. For example, we collect your address from you during checkout, to ensure we're able to deliver goods to your requested location.
We store some personal details in order to communicate with you relating to our business activities. This may be informing you of our current product range, deals, discounts and offers on our product range. We only do this when you have actively consented for us to add you to our database.
We also store some personal details when you're using our site, to allow us to identify any website technical issues, and for us to develop our systems to provide a fast, easy experience.

We store your details for as long as is reasonably needed to complete the actions described above. For example, if you have purchased a product from us with a 20 year guarantee, we'll store your personal details for this period of time, so we can assist you during the guarantee period with any guarantee claims.
