Privacy Notice

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
GDPR applies to every company in the European Union that uses personal data. The regulations cover your data and how companies look after it. Protecting your data is really important to us at abrasives-online.co.uk, and we want to make sure you know what GDPR means for you and your account(s) with us. From May 2018, companies will have to stick to new rules to make sure your data is looked after. These rules give you a number of rights. They include the right to see the personal data companies hold about you, you being able to ask them to delete this personal data, and you have to give your consent before a firm can do certain things with your data. The only exception to this rule is that if you have placed an order with us we are obliged to keep on record/file that transaction information for a number of years, currently seven. This is for accounting purpose and Inland Revenue. However, you can request that your account information (name, address, telephone no etc) when you signed in is deleted. When placing an order we typically collect the following information: Your Name; Email Address; Telephone Number; Address and Shipping Address if different; and company name if applicable. All payments are carried out by a third party Payment Gateway (for your added security) normally PayPal or SagePay.

YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The personal data which we collect from you and is stored in your account is as follows:

  1. your name
  2. your geographical address
  3. your email address
  4. your telephone number

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Website, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number. This “Order Information.” is stored separately from your.
We do not store your Credit Card information on our website but a third party credit card processor and/or PayPal does under secure conditions and that Order Information is transferred to them securely.

We will use Your Personal Data that you provide to us:

  1. to enable us to fulfil your orders and to provide the services relevant to you.
