Our Website - Single Controller Policy

This Privacy Notice relates to the personal data you give over this website and other data we collect. We are the data controller named in the Contact Us section. We share some or all of your personal data with other businesses.

We collect the personal data you provide us when you fill in the blanks in the website forms. You have the right to know what we have by asking us (see Contact us and your Rights below).

We also collect the following personal data from you:

- fill in a contact form online

- information you provide when you telephone us about your order, ask any questions, make a complaint or any other reason

- the information you put in any emails to us for any reason including your email address

We use your data to register you to use the website and manage your account. The information we need to register a user is an email address and a password. We may ask further questions for different services. Unless stated, all registration questions are compulsory. 

To fulfil the request or contract we use your data to decide whether to allocate you brochure, materials or products, manage and track your request or order, update you on progress, generate delivery notes and invoices, process payments and administration generally. We may have to use third parties to help us achieve these aims in accordance with our legitimate interests (see below).

To help us fulfil the request or contract we share your data with these parties for the reasons below as it is in our legitimate interests to do so having taken into account all relevant factors around your privacy. If we do not engage these external contractors our prices would have to increase as we would have to engage more staff and buy more infrastructure. We require them to be GDPR compliant and enter data processor contracts with us or ensure their contracts make appropriate statements.

We use an outside party to deliver the brochure, materials or products ordered and they may be one of a number and/or may change from time to time. We will communicate who they are at the time they are going to deliver.

Our external email provider processes all our incoming and outgoing emails. Email is how we confirm and manage your order, manage the security of access and passwords on your account and deal with any enquiries and complaints.

This may change from time to time so if you continue to use us or keep in contact with us you will be dealing with us on our updated Privacy Notice. We will endeavour to notify you of any changes but this may not be possible. 

We share your personal data with the following parties for reasons of legitimate interest:

- we use a cloud based accountancy software which means your personal data is on their cloud servers as our data processor.

- we use an outside party to bill and collect who are acting as our data processor. They will identify themselves to you as acting on our behalf but if you have any concerns about their activity or behaviours please contact us.

- we use agents, advisers or others involved in running accounts and services for you and your business or collecting what you or your business owe; 

- we use Third party vendors who help us to manage and maintain the IT infrastructure, website, shopping cart or payment services or linked services; 

- we use Logistics and delivery providers who enable us to deliver products you request or order on our websites; 

- we use professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants, debt collectors and consultants;

- any paper based documents you have or do provide us with

- data you provide over the telephone (including any text or other messages),

We will keep your data for 6 months after the request if it does not lead to any order, and if it does for 7 years after the year of order so we can comply with contract law issues, product liability issues, insurance issues, company law obligations, record keeping for accounting and tax audits. If there are any complaints or questions on product liability or insurance issues we will keep your data for 6 years after the matter is dealt with. We may hold onto data were there are legal reasons to retain it.

Where we process your personal data to fulfil:

- a contract with you, we will process such personal data until we fulfil that contract and for so long thereafter as may be necessary to keep a record of that contract, which will typically be for 6 years, and to deal with any complaints or claims relating to that contract, which will be until the final resolution of such complaints or claims (having regard to the nature of any potential claims and the limitation of liability periods that apply to them); or

- a legal obligation (such as anti-Money Laundering, tax and accounting obligations), we will process such personal data for so long as necessary to fulfil that obligation; or

Where we process your personal data based on: 

- our legitimate interest, we will process such personal data for so long as necessary to achieve that legitimate interest, which will typically be for 6 years after we collect your personal data or the last time we use your personal data (or longer in relation to any legal claims that might arise having regard to the nature of any potential claims and the limitation of liability periods that apply to them); or

-your consent, for example, to send you marketing information, we will process such personal data until you withdraw that consent. Please bear in mind that it may take a short time to process any withdrawal of your consent. We aim to do this as soon as reasonable after receipt of your request, although you may still receive emails that are already in process around the time of your withdrawal. 

Where you have given consent to market you we will send you our marketing and promotional materials for services, products, surveys, competitions, events and other activities we think useful to you.

- by telephone to the numbers provided. We ask that you notify us of any changes to your numbers.

- by text or picture message. Please help us by telling us of any changes to your numbers so we can keep our records up to date and deliver you the relevant service.

- by email. We may promote our products to you by email until you unsubscribe. The unsubscribe option will be present in any marketing email we send. We may send you our marketing by email as you have bought goods from us.

Data privacy laws provide you with a number of rights over your personal information.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
