This policy, together with our Terms and Conditions, explain how McAra may use information we collect about you, as well as your rights over any personal information we hold about you. Please read this policy and our Terms and Conditions carefully; by accessing the Website you confirm to have understood and agreed to them.

- Handle orders, deliver products and services;
- Process payments and voucher codes;
- Communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers;
- Update our data-records and generally maintain your accounts with us;
- Display content such as wish lists, customer reviews, product advisor and product

Types of information we gather:

Automatic information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use “cookies” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses McAra.co.uk.
A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously.
Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalised experience at McAra.co.uk if we cannot recognise you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
E-mail communications
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open an e-mail from McAra.co.uk if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please use the unsubscribe feature provided in the email.
Using or sharing your information
Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. McAra.co.uk shares customer information only as described below.
- Agents
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Furthermore, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice. - Protection of McAra.co.uk
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements or to protect the rights, property or safety of McAra.co.uk, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice. - With your consent
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Of course, the choice is entirely yours, but if you say you do not want to receive marketing information from us this will prevent you from receiving great offers or promotions that may be of interest to you. When you register online you can access your McAra account and select whether or not to receive any McAra newsletters. To change your contact preferences simply click “My Account” in the top frame and click “Contact details”. If you do not want to receive commercial communications from us, de-select the option ‘Receive McAra Newsletter’.
