Marketing
Being able to communicate with you is important, as your custom is valuable to us. And we believe in being open, honest and transparent and want you to feel comfortable about your decision to give us your personal information and how we use it.
We will use the details you provide to us to communicate with you about our services, and research expertise. We would also like to tell you how your order is progressing and other ways to help our relationship in the future.
We promise that will only communicate with you in the way you wish us to and we will always respect your privacy. You must first of all opt in to confirm that you wish us to communicate with you in this way. You can change your mind at any time and its quick and easy to let us know that you no longer want to hear from us by contacting RR Upholstery & Interiors, 26 Douglas Road, Tonbridge TN9 2TA. Or email retrorefurbak@gmail.com. We will always respond to your wishes in a sensitive, timely, courteous and professional way.
Please be assured that we will take appropriate measures to keep your personal information safe and secure and we promise not to over contact. We will never pass your personal information on to other organisations for them to use for their own marketing purposes.
In certain instances, we collect and use your personal information by relying on the legitimate interest legal basis. This is because when you, for example, request to receive services or products from us, we have a legitimate organisational interest to use your personal information to respond to you and there is no overriding prejudice to you by using your personal information for this purpose. However we will always provide you with the option to opt-out of hearing from us. In most instances, however, we will rely on obtaining your consent to our use of your personal information. This is the case, for example, where we seek to obtain your consent to receive email marketing from us.
We will only communicate to you in the way you have told us. For example:
Email/text marketing
If you actively provide your consent to us along with your email address and/or mobile phone number we may contact you for marketing purposes by email or text message. By subscribing to our emails or opting in to email communication from us you grant us the right to use the email for email marketing.
Post/telephone marketing
If you have provided us with your postal address or telephone number we may send you direct mail or telephone you about our work unless you have told us that you would prefer not to receive such information or we receive a notification from the appropriate Service that you have requested marketing communications to stop. We also actively check telephone numbers against the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and will only make telephone calls to you where your telephone number is listed on the TPS if you have specifically told us that you do not object to such calls and have consented to receive them from us
It is your decision
It is always your decision as to whether you want to receive information about our work. If you do not want us to use your personal information in these ways please indicate your preferences on the form on which we collect your data.
You may opt-out of our marketing communications at any time by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link in at the end of our marketing emails or sending us an "opt-out" text message following the instructions we provide you in our initial text.
You can also change any of your contact preferences at any time including telling us that you don’t want us to contact you for marketing purposes by contacting RR Upholstery & Interiors, 26 Douglas Road, Tonbridge TN9 2TA. Or email retrorefurbak@gmail.com.
We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes if you have indicated that you do not wish to be contacted by us for such purposes. However, we will retain your details on a suppression list to help ensure that we do not continue to contact you.
Personalisation and Profiling
We also ensure that we are contacting you with the most appropriate communication, which is relevant and timely and will ultimately provide an improved experience for you. For example, by providing timely news about our work, letting you know the different ways you can contact us and how you can help ensure you receive the best service possible from us.
In order to do this, we may also use profiling techniques and insight companies to provide us with general information about you, which you have volunteered around your lifestyle and purchasing habits. This will help us tailor our communication so you hear about the areas of our work that are of most interest to you.
We may also use your personal information that we have gathered in the course of our relationship to understand the likelihood of you responding to other communications from us. Because we have a greater understanding of you, this means our communication will hopefully be relevant and of interest to you and in turn it will help us reduce our costs for communication by only communicating with people that want to hear from us. To assist us with this work we may use third-party service providers to assist us in this process. For more information on how we work with third parties, please see ‘Disclosures’.
You can opt out of your data being used for profiling. However, this may mean that you stop receiving marketing communications from us or they become more generic and less relevant to you as they are no longer based on your interests in our cause. If you do wish to opt-out please contact RR Upholstery & Interiors, 26 Douglas Road, Tonbridge TN9 2TA. Or email retrorefurbak@gmail.com.
Disclosures
We will never pass your personal information on to other organisations for them to use for their own marketing purposes.
However we may disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:
-
To third parties who provide a service to us and are data processors. This would include our trusted partners that work with us in connection with our work, sell our products or provide our information and marketing (subject to your communication preferences and our internal policies and procedures). We require these third parties to comply strictly with our instructions and data protection laws and we will make sure that appropriate controls are in place. We enter into contracts with all our data processors and regularly monitor their activities to ensure they are complying with our policies and procedures.
-
Where we are under duty to disclose your personal information in order to comply with law or the disclosure is ‘necessary’ for purposes of national security taxation and criminal investigation or we have your written consent.
-
Where we need to perform due diligence checks to ensure we are not being abused by fraudsters or criminals posing as someone else for example in relation to money laundering, absconding with proceeds of crime or tax avoidance. We do these checks to help protect us all from abuse.
