Privacy
No personal information is collected from this website without your consent. When you use our contact us form, the information entered is not available on our website or shared beyond our staff, and is stored securely.
We do not sell, share, or make available your personal data other than in the normal course of business.
Whether you contact us for a shipping quotation or for advice, access to your details is carefully managed. We treat all personal data with respect and as required under the Data Protection Act 1998.
Protection has been extended since May 2018, by EU wide, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This gives individuals more control and choice over how their personal data is used along with requiring us to be fair and transparent.
The focus of regulation is on complex data gathering, profiling and consent. Whilst we only gather personal data as part of open, essential transactions, following regulation as far as this applies still makes sense.
General Privacy Policy
The privacy of our customers should be and is our first commitment. You are the rightful owner of your details, plans and actions, not least where this may involve business sensitive, international travel, or movement of goods.
This principle is extended to discussions we have, notes which are taken, or electronic correspondence. Clients have a right to privacy at all times.
Our staff are trained to respect this and as importantly, in procedures which help ensure privacy. The same intent is given to document management, on paper, or electronic and to the running of our website.
