Privacy Policy

biOrb is committed to doing things right.

Like any online business, we do need to collect some information about you in order to process orders, keep our website running and to share relevant news and updates with our email subscribers.

The privacy policy below goes into detail but here are a few simple points.

1. We don’t want to annoy you.

We're not here to spam people and we only want to send relevant messages to people who we think want to receive them. If you signed up but no longer want to hear from us, all our marketing emails contain an unsubscribe link.

2. We don't share what you tell us with anyone we don't have to.

For example, we have to tell the Courier Service your address to get your orders to you, and we have email software to deliver emails but we will never share your data with anyone for any reason other than to process your orders or complete marketing tasks. We will always delete, correct or document everything we know about you on request.

3. Occasionally, things go wrong.

We don't always get everything right. Sometimes people make mistakes and sometimes computer systems mess up. If you’re unhappy with something we’ve done, please drop us an email to info.uk@biorb.com We will make things right.
