Your DataPrivacy Policy
How PCTDirect collects, uses, protects, and shares the personal information you provide when using our website.
Last updated: 14 May 2026
In short: we collect only what we need to process your orders and run our website, we never sell your personal data, and our checkout is encrypted end to end.
Information we collect
We collect information that you provide directly and information gathered automatically as you use the site:
- Order & contact details — name, shipping address, email address, and phone number.
- Payment information — processed securely by our payment providers; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Account information — if you create an account, your login credentials and order history.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
How we use your information
Your information is used to:
- Process, fulfil, and deliver your orders.
- Communicate with you about your orders, including shipping updates and support enquiries.
- Verify prescriptions or other requirements where applicable.
- Improve our website, products, and customer experience.
- Send marketing communications — only where you have opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
- Detect and prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
Cookies & tracking technologies
Our website uses cookies to keep your shopping cart working, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the site may not function correctly without them.
Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with parties that help us operate, and only as far as needed:
- Shipping carriers — to deliver your order.
- Payment processors — to handle transactions securely.
- Service providers — such as email or hosting providers, bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Legal authorities — where required by law or to protect our rights.
Data security
We use industry-standard safeguards — including SSL encryption on all data transmitted through our checkout — to protect your information. While no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, we take reasonable steps to keep your data protected against unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.
Data retention
We retain your personal information for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy — including completing orders, meeting legal and accounting requirements, and resolving disputes. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask for corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal limits.
- Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
- Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Significant changes will be communicated through the website.
