The information we collect and how we use it

You may be asked to choose a user name and password which you must keep secure and you must never disclose it to anyone. The Staging House Ltd will never send you emails asking you for your password. The information will be contained in your account profile which you can amend at any time by logging in.

The Staging House Ltd may also receive information about you from other sources and add this to the information you have given us.

The Staging House Ltd needs the information we collect about you to:
