Privacy Policy

British Hardwoods Privacy Policy

In providing the facility to buy products online, British Hardwoods collects information about you. In doing so, we take your privacy and our obligations under the data protection legislation very seriously. You have a right to expect a website to disclose its privacy policies - how your personal information is collected, used and shared. You also have a responsibility to choose which sites you feel comfortable disclosing such information to.

In order to comply with our obligations, British Hardwoods must obtain your consent to the use of your personal information. Please ensure therefore that you read the following statement carefully. Purchasing of products through the British Hardwoods web site will be taken as consent to certain uses of your information.

The seller is committed to protecting the privacy of those using this site and the confidentiality of the personal information which customers provide.
All personal information collected by the seller is used to support customer services and to ensure that orders are processed correctly.
The seller will neither sell nor share personal information with third parties unless it is necessary for fulfilling your order.

Secure Server:
Payment details for orders placed via the British Hardwoods Online website are collected by third party organisations, e.g. Secure Trading, using Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL) to encrypt personal data.
Note the small padlock icon which appears when you confirm your order and are asked for payment details.

** Customer payment & bank details (card number etc.) are neither received nor stored by the seller.**

 

Item A: Access to Registration Information

British Hardwoods will under no circumstances give access to your registration information to any third party for any purpose, either commercial or otherwise. Consistent with our obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998, your information is maintained in what we believe to be a well protected environment. Neither British Hardwoods any other website operator can, however, guarantee that your information will remain secure from unauthorised access.

Item B: Public vs Confidential Information

You acknowledge that all of your submissions through the website are public and not private information. Always use caution when giving out any personally identifying information about yourself or your household. British Hardwoods specifically disclaims any liability with regard to any actions resulting from your submissions and postings to the public portion of the website. Generally, any communication which you post through the website is considered to be non-confidential. If a particular webpage or form permits the submission of information that will be treated by British Hardwoods as confidential, that fact will be stated on those pages.

Item C: Use of Public Information

By posting communications on or through the website, you automatically grant British Hardwoods a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform and display the information alone or as part of other works in any form, media or technology whether now known or hereafter developed. The foregoing grants shall include the right to exploit any proprietary rights in such communication, including but not limited to rights under copyright, trademark, service mark or patent laws under any relevant jurisdiction. You agree to waive any moral rights which you may have in such material.
