Use and storage of your personal information
Any information you provide to Cactus will only be used by Cactus, its partners and service providers (eg your name, address and telephone number will need to be given to our shipping company when you order goods from us). Your information may also be disclosed if we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content on to cactusmarine.com or otherwise engage in any illegal behavior, Cactus can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behavior.
