Collecting your information
Most of the pages on our website can be accessed without giving us your personal information. To obtain brochures and samples, you will need to set up an account with us. To create an account, we'll ask you for your name, telephone number, email address and website details. Once active, the account can be populated with the data required for trading. We also record your activity and preferences when visiting our website using cookies.
Using your information
We will use your personal information to provide goods and services, call you and to generate internal records for order management. We will email you service updates and use your name and email address to send company information to you. By sending this information, we are pursuing our legitimate interest to provide you with information regarding our products and trade show opportunities. You have the right to restrict this activity at any time. Just let us know or click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. We promise not to bombard you with information or irrelevant offers. Service, stock, pricing and technical alerts will automatically be generated while you are registered on our database and form part of our contract with you. We use MailChimp to send our company updates and service alerts. Please see MailChimp's privacy notice for further information.
We may share your personal information with third parties where required by law, where it is necessary for our working relationship, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so. We will not divulge personal information to third parties for the sole use of marketing. We may transfer your data to third parties operating or managing the website on our behalf, third-party payment providers, third-party social media providers, third-party mailing providers and third-party courier service providers. Those third parties may reside in countries outside of the EU (see section below). By submitting your personal data, you agree to this processing.

Where we have given you, or where you have chosen, a password which enables you to access your account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
