How long do we retain personal data supplied to us by you?
We only keep your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data – and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means – and the applicable legal requirements. In short we will only use your personal information to administer your dealings with CBL and to provide the products and services you have requested from us.
How secure is your data?
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

No Right of Return
As the price for the supply of precious metals is dependent on price movements in the financial markets, which CBL cannot control, you do not have any right of return in respect of orders received or placed and Contracts formed for the purchase of precious metals.
However, where practicable, CBL will use reasonable endeavours to assist Customers to cancel orders, where such cancellation is sought prior to CBL fulfilling the order by purchasing bullion for resale to the Customer. Customers who wish to cancel any order for the purchase of bullion should contact CBL immediately by telephone to see whether it is possible for such orders to be cancelled. This does not affect your Statutory Rights.
