Direct Marketing.

We would like to provide you with information about new products, promotions, special offers and other information which we think you may find interesting. We may send you such information by mail or telephone (unless you have registered with the appropriate preference service).

Email Marketing.

We would also like to provide you with the information above by email. However we appreciate that email “spam” has become a problem in recent years.

If you are a customer or you have previously asked us for information on our products, we may send you information on our range of products by email, unless you have asked us not to do so.

If the reason you have given us personal information is to receive email information from us, we will continue to provide this information by email, unless you ask us not to do so.

Otherwise, when you provide us with personal information, we will ask you whether or not you are happy for us to send you this kind of information by email.

If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from us, please contact our Data Protection Officer at:
B2, Chorley Business & Technology Centre, Euxton Lane, Euxton, Nr. Chorley, Lancs. PR7 6TE.

Whom do we share this information with?

We will not transfer, disclose, sell, distribute, or lease you personal information to third parties other than our subsidiaries, parent company, or a purchaser or potential purchaser of our business, unless we have your permission, or are required to do so by law. We may release your personal information to our authorised direct marketing or other agents, unless you tell us that you do not wish this to happen.
