PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy describes how we collect, store, use and protect your personal information in compliance with The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) as adopted into UK law by the Data Protection Act 2018.

Data We Collect: We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, job title, or company if you choose to provide it by directly contacting us, using our contact form or by email.

How We Use Your Data: The personal information you provide is stored securely. We will only use this to respond to your query and will not share your data without your consent, except for the reasons below.

Disclosure of Your Information: We will only share your information with third parties assisting us in processing orders, delivering products and services, managing our company, or servicing your account. These third parties are restricted from using your information for purposes other than those related to our services.  Unless required by law, we will not share, sell or distribute any of your data without your consent.

Your Rights: You have the right to request access to, correction of, erasure of, object to processing of or request restriction of processing your personal data. Please contact us to make use of any of these rights.

Marketing: We may send you marketing communications which you can opt-out of at any time by contacting us.

Retention of Data: We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

Security: We have put appropriate technical and organisational security measures in place to safeguard and protect your personal data. While we follow good practices on security, no service can guarantee 100% protection. You provide information to us with the understanding that any transmission over the internet poses security risks that are out of our control.

Third Party Websites and Service: We use reputable third party websites and services to enhance our website functionality, including Google Analytics for anonymous traffic and behaviour information, LinkedIn for social media sharing capabilities, and Google Maps for interactive location features. We may also use Google advertising services to promote our website. These third party websites and services have their own privacy policies in addition to our own.

Links to Other Websites: Our website contains links to other websites of which we have no control. We are not responsible for the content and privacy practices of these other websites and they are not covered by our privacy policy. Please therefore review the privacy policies of every website you visit to better understand third party data collection practices.

Changes of Business Ownership; We may expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or transfer of control of all or part of our business. Data provided by users will, where it is relevant, be transferred along with that part. The new owner or controlling party will be permitted to use the data for the purposes for which it was originally collected. In the event that any of your data is to be transferred, you will be contacted and informed of the changes.

Updates to this Policy: We may modify this privacy policy from time to time and will post any updates on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible.
