Introduction

Guardian Building Systems Ltd respects your right to privacy and complies with our obligations under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to outline how we deal with any personal data you provide to us while visiting this website. Naturally, if you are not happy with this Privacy Policy you should not use this website.

By visiting this website, you are accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy. Any external links to other websites are clearly identifiable as such, and we are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of these other websites.

For the purpose of providing you with a service, we may retain two types of information:

Personal Data

This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, address, email address, user IP addresses in circumstances where they have not been deleted, clipped or anonymised, and telephone number. Such information is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to us.

We do not record ‘sensitive’ personal data such as race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs.

Non-Personal Data

Like most websites, we gather statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our website. This Non-Personal Data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information regarding, for example, user IP addresses where they have been clipped or anonymised, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website.

We use a Facebook Pixel to gather information about activity on our site. We use this information to serve paid adverts on Facebook.

We use Google Analytics tracking code to gather anonymous statistics about activity on our website to help us streamline future marketing campaigns.

How we use your Personal Data:

We will process any Personal Data you voluntarily provide to us for the following purposes:

(a) to provide you with information on our services you may have requested;

(b) to contact you if required in connection with your query or to respond to any communications you might send to us;

(c) to contact you by email in relation to news, events, services, products and offers available within Guardian Building Systems Ltd and other related third party offerings where appropriate.

We may disclose your Personal Data to third parties and partners to fulfil your query. In such circumstances, the third party is bound by similar data protection requirements. We  may also disclose your Personal Data if we believe in good faith that we are required to disclose it in order to comply with any applicable law, a summons, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other statutory requirement.

We may provide Non-Personal Data to third parties, where such information is combined with similar information of other users of our website. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who visit our website, the demographic breakdown of our community users of our website, or the activities that visitors to our website engage in while on our website. The third parties to whom we may provide this information may include potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.

We reserve the right to transfer information (including your Personal Data) to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of our company provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of the Website Privacy Policy and provided that the third party only uses your Personal Data for the purposes that you provided it to us. You will be notified in the event of any such transfer and you will be afforded an opportunity to opt-out.

Your Personal Data is held on secure servers hosted by our Internet Service Provider. The nature of the Internet is such that we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us via the Internet. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. However, we will take all reasonable steps (including appropriate technical and organisational measures) to protect your Personal Data.

Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified. You may inform us of any changes in your Personal Data, and in accordance with our obligations under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 we will update or delete your Personal Data accordingly. To find out what Personal Data we hold on you or to have your Personal Data updated, amended or removed from our database, please email us at customerservices@guardianbuildingsystems.co.uk.

Any such data subject requests may be subject to the prescribed fee.

If you would like us to remove your name from our direct marketing mailing lists then please do let us know by emailing us at customerservices@guardianbuildingsystems.co.uk.

Any changes to this Website Privacy Policy will be posted on this website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any time we decide to use Personal Data in a manner significantly different from that stated in this Website Privacy policy, or otherwise disclosed to you at the time it was collected, we will notify you by email, and you will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in the new manner.

Please note that we keep the content of this Privacy Policy under review and that, from time to time, we may amend or update the content without informing you in advance.
