Privacy policy

This privacy policy denotes the privacy practices carried out by our company and any companies we work with that may have access to your data.

This privacy policy applies to any information gathered through the use of this website, as well as any information you provide to us in further communications that we will need to store for future reference.

We are the sole controllers of any information submitted and collected from use of this site. Other GDPR compliant data processors may have access to your data through the use of our web hosting services; however they are subject to all the rules and regulations set out in the GDPR on both the possession and usage of your data.

Apart from the website statistics described under “Cookies and analytics” below, we only have access to information voluntarily given to us by you through the use of our website, email and/or our contact forms. We will not sell or forward this information on to anyone without your explicit permission.

The data we collect and securely store from you can include:

  • IP Address
  • Name
  • Address
  • Contact Phone Number
  • Email Address
  • Payment Details

We only collect and store this data for contact purposes, order processing or for security reasons only. We will not hold onto this data for a time period that is unreasonably just for the purposes of our business. Your data is kept on secure servers and is protected at all times from unlawful possession.

If you have consented, we may contact you in the future through the details provided for any promotional or customer service related needs. We may also pass your information on to our partners for them to contact you for marketing and promotional reasons. Consent can be withdrawn at any time for any reason by contacting us and letting us know of your intention of withdrawing consent.

You have complete Right of Access to any data we hold, or held on you. You may contact us through email or phone at any time (permitting business hours) to discuss:

  • What data we have on you
  • Why we have this data on file, and what we use it for
  • Change or correct any data we have for you
  • Express any concern about the use of your data
  • Have us remove any data we have on you

We take sufficient precautions to protect any data you submit to us. Your data is only stored if it is needed for future reference, and if it needs to be stored, will be kept on safe and secure servers. If there is ever a breach of data, you will be immediately notified of this breach as well as it being reported to the lawful authorities.

Any sensitive information submitted to us is encrypted and transmitted in a secure way to avoid any unlawful possession or gathering of your data through our forms. You can verify this by viewing the padlock to the left of the address bar, or by the web address containing “https://” before our domain name.

We protect all your information offline too - only employee’s with need for this information are allowed access to it, otherwise it is securely stored away.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer, phone or tablet. This website does not set any cookies of its own, and you do not need to accept cookies to browse it or to send us an enquiry.

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to see how the website is used: how many people visit, which pages they look at, how they found us, roughly where they are and what kind of device and browser they use. We use this to improve the website. It does not give us your name or contact details, and we do not use it to identify you.

To do this, Google Analytics saves two cookies in your browser when you visit:

  • _ga — tells one visitor apart from another. It lasts for up to two years.
  • _ga_KPV97Y51L4 — keeps track of your visit from one page to the next. It lasts for up to two years.

This information is collected and stored by Google on our behalf, and may be processed on servers outside the United Kingdom. Google’s privacy policy explains how Google handles it.

You can stop these cookies at any time by blocking or deleting cookies in your browser’s settings, or by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on. The website works in exactly the same way if you do.

Some pages include content supplied by other companies: a Google map of our location, and customer reviews shown through the Star Reviews service, including reviewers’ profile pictures loaded from the sites the reviews were left on. When a page containing this content loads, your browser connects to those companies’ servers, so they receive your IP address and details of your browser, and they may set cookies of their own. How they use that information is covered by their own privacy policies.

Our website also links to other websites and services, such as WhatsApp and our social media pages. This policy does not cover them.
