How we use your information
We use your information in a number of different ways — what we do depends on the information, below set this out in detail, showing what we do, and why we do it.
Your contact history with us
What you’ve said to us — for example, over the phone, on instant chat, or on social media.
Information about your phone or laptop, and how you use our website and app
The information you give us when you browse our site or use our app, including your IP address and device type and, if you choose to share it with us, your location data, as well as how you use our website and app.
You don’t have to give us any of this personal information but if you don’t, you may not be able to buy from the site, and you are unlikely to receive our optimal overall customer experience. But that is your choice – and we respect that.
We aggregate personal information and use it for purposes, research, data analysis, improving our site and developing new products and services. We do not share this information with third parties.
Sharing your information
We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data to any third party – including your name, address, email address.
However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:
-
Companies in the Advance Services group, as sometimes different bits of our group are responsible for different activities (especially licensed ones)
-
Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts such as WIX.com
-
Companies approved by you, such as social media sites (if you choose to link your accounts to us)
We may provide third parties with aggregated but anonymised information and analytics about our customers and, before we do so, we will make sure that it does not identify you.
Marketing messages
If you have said we can, we’ll send you marketing messages by email, to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products.
How to stop marketing messages from Advance-services.co.uk
You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time.
You can do this:
-
By clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email
-
By contacting our unsubscribe@advance-services.co.uk
Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don’t receive further marketing messages.
Please note that it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so you might get messages from us while we process your request.
Stopping marketing messages will not stop service communications (such as order updates or where you have expressed an interest in an activity on Advance Services, for example, new offers or discounts).
Seeing adverts for Advance-services.co.uk online
The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about

We also engage in online advertising, also to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products.you, or your previous use of Advance Services.
Keeping your information
We’ll hold on to your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you, or (in the case of any contact you may have with our Customer support team) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.
If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.
