Overwater Privacy Policy
The information we collect and how we use it
When you register with Overwater and/or place an order, we need to know your name, delivery address, credit or debit card number and expiry date, e-mail address and telephone number. This information allows us to fulfil your order and notify you of the status of your order. We may also ask you to give us optional contact information, for example your fax number and demographic information like your age.
If you subscribe to our mailing list for new release and other information, you will be asked to specify the areas in which you are interested so that we can tailor the information which we send to you to cover the topics and merchandise which we believe you might be interested in.
We may also use your information
for the purpose of providing you with information about
any special offers or features of our web site which
we think may be of interest to you and for related marketing
purposes.
By submitting your information you consent to the use
of that information as set out in this Policy. If we
change our Privacy Policy we will post the changes on
this page so that you may be aware of them. We will
also e-mail you should we make any changes and give
you a chance to ask us not to use your information in
that way. Because the Internet infrastructure is global,
and it is not possible to predict the routes that information
sent over the Internet will take, the information you
provide may be transferred temporarily via a route which
takes it outside the European Economic Area as it passes
between you and us. By submitting your information you
consent to this transfer.
