The data we collect about you

The information that we get from our customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience with Top Furniture. We collect personal information from you when you voluntarily submit information directly to us or our website. You can choose not to provide certain information but we may not be able to provide you with our full service.  With regard to each of your visits to our site we may collect the following information:

  1. Personal contact information that we process from our checkout and user account creation webpages may include name, address, email address and contact telephone numbers. This can also include information you provide when you complete a form, provide feedback or reviews on our products or site, enter competitions through our website, correspond with us, purchase products from the website, subscribe to our email lists or respond to surveys or promotions.

  3. Information about your visit, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from our site (including date and time); products you viewed or searched for; page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page and any phone number used to call us.

We also collect personal information indirectly from you such as information about the pages you look at on the site or the device you connect to the site with, or the products you add to your shopping basket.

We describe the categories of personal information we collect in more detail below:

Comments and opinions: such as comments and opinions you share when you provide feedback or reviews on our products or site, or when you respond to our surveys, competitions and promotions.

Messages to us: messages you send to us such as email and written correspondence.

Typically, the information we collect about how you use or connect to the site is associated with your device and not you as a named individual. However, if you are logged into a registered account this information may also be associated with you directly.
