When you visit our website, or place an order for gardening tools and equipment from M&R Tools in London, we collect certain information from you. This helps us to process your order, improve your browsing experience, and provide you with the best possible service. It's pretty standard stuff, really, but we want to be upfront about it.
Information You Provide Directly
This includes things like your name, email address, delivery address, and phone number. We get this information when you create an account, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us directly through email or our contact form. For example, if you're ordering a new petrol strimmer, we'll need your address to ship it to you!
Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically when you browse our site. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and browsing activity on our website. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect this data (more on that below!). This helps us understand which brush cutters are most popular, or if there's a particular page that people are struggling to find, so we can make improvements.

- To process your orders: This includes fulfilling your orders for lawnmowers, multi-tools, and parts, processing payments, and shipping your items.
