However, as we want you to be comfortable we mean what we say, you can read more in this Privacy Policy which outlines when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and the only times where we might disclose it to others. We also talk about how we keep it secure. It’s dry, but that’s the legal stuff for you. If you want pretty, head to engagement rings or remodelling.
