What personal data I collect and why I collect it
Contract: The processing of personal data is necessary for me to fulfill my contractual obligations with you (i.e. you are purchasing products from me) or because you have asked me to do something before entering into a contract (i.e. you have asked me to send you a quote, or a design, or further information about my products and services).
Consent: Clear consent has been given for me to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g. you have given your clear consent for me to include your personal data to send you promotional and marketing communications).
Please Note: I will always rely on formal consent being given as the basis for processing personal data for promotional and marketing communications by whatever media I use.
Customers have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Where such consent has been given for a specific purpose (e.g. promotional and marketing communications), I will cease to process data after consent is withdrawn.
Legal Obligation: I may need to process personal data to enable me to comply with UK law and regulatory requirements.
Legitimate Interest: I need to process personal data to enable me to meet my commercially legitimate interests, for example:
Fulfilling orders, supplying goods and/or services to customers.
Advertising my products and services.
Handling enquiries and complaints.
Investigating and preventing fraud or other crime, and working with law enforcement agencies if applicable.
