- Account details, if you create an account: login email, saved addresses and order history.
- Messages you send us through the contact form, email or WhatsApp.

Why we use it

International transfers
Some of these providers store or process data outside the UK. Where they do, the transfer is covered by UK adequacy regulations or contract terms approved for that purpose.
How long we keep it

- Account details: until you ask us to close your account.
- Newsletter subscription: until you unsubscribe.
- Contact messages: as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.
Cookies
Essential cookies make the basket, checkout, login, security and the research-use confirmation work and are always on. Analytics and advertising cookies (Google Analytics and Google Ads) are set only if you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time from the banner’s settings.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive a copy in a portable format, and to withdraw consent at any time. Email contact@unionbiolabs.com and we will reply within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
