We’d like you to know that we never sell or share your personal information with other companies for marketing. In this Privacy Policy we provide detailed information about when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, how we keep it secure and the limited circumstances under which we might disclose it to a 3rd party.

Cookies
The East Coast Fibreglass Supplies Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. 

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize East Coast Fibreglass Supplies pages, or register with East Coast Fibreglass Supplies site or services, a cookie helps East Coast Fibreglass Supplies to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same East Coast Fibreglass Supplies Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the East Coast Fibreglass Supplies features that you customised. Cookies may also be used for features such as placing items in your shopping cart etc.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the East Coast Fibreglass Supplies services or Web sites you visit.

Security
East Coast Fibreglass Supplies secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. East Coast Fibreglass Supplies secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. 

Google Analytics
When someone visits www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. 

Newsletter
During the registration process on our website there is a newsletter opt-in option. We tend not to send a lot of newsletters out as we understand that they can get annoying, but we may occasionally email with details of special offers etc. If you do not opt in to this feature we will only email you about the orders you have placed.

Data Storing
We retain order information such as name and address and what you ordered on our web server and on our internal order server so that we can refer to them when necessary, for instance to check on your delivery etc or for other customer enquiries. We also store emails you send us. Details we keep are encrypted and/or password-protected. We do not keep a record of payment details eg credit card numbers. Our phone calls are recorded for quality monitoring and training.

Information Sharing
We share details such as your delivery address and order notes you may have given us with our couriers in order for them to fulfil the delivery. We currently use FedEx and Freightroute and we encourage you to also read their privacy statements.
When we take payment information through our website this information is not held by us. Our payments are processed by SagePay or Paypal and we encourage you to review their privacy statements.
Phone and trade counter payments are processed by Barclays Card Services and your payment details are not retained by us.
