As a rule, we do not collect "special category data" about visitors to our website or our customers or suppliers. The exception is where we identify suspected criminal activity such as fraudulent claims or the use of stolen payment card details. In this case we will record details of the suspected criminal activity and may take appropriate action, including refusing to accept orders, make payments or give refunds. We may also report the incident to the relevant bank or payment card issuer or to the police or other appropriate authorities. See below for details of how we may use your personal information.

Your information may be accessed by others in the Group for administrative and analytical purposes. However, you will not receive marketing from other Group companies unless you have agreed to that. Keeping you informed If you sign up to receive email updates or have bought or enquired about our products or services, we may use the information we collect to let you know about our other products and services which may be of interest to you and to keep you updated with information about promotional offers and what is coming soon. If you leave items in your Shopping Basket on our website without completing a purchase, we may send you an email to follow up and ask if you need any help with your order. We review the products and services you buy and we also analyse your use of our website and the searches you make on this and other websites. We use this information to tailor the marketing you receive from us so it is as relevant as possible. This may include serving you with adverts on social media and other third party websites. If you agree, we may pass your information to suppliers and manufacturers who are interested in getting in touch with you about their products and services, including other companies in the Travis Perkins Group. You can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time. You can also opt out of receiving marketing which is tailored to suit your customer profile. See the Your Rights section below for more details. Call recording Some telephone calls may be recorded or monitored, for example calls to our customer services teams. Call recording and monitoring may be carried out for the following purposes: training and quality control; as evidence of conversations; and/or for the prevention or detection of crime (e.g. fraudulent claims). Legal basis for processing Some of the information we collect is provided by you voluntarily (and therefore with your permission), for example when you sign up to join a mailing list or submit a query. If you purchase items from us, or if you supply products or services to us, most of the information we collect is necessary so that we can fulfill the contract between us. The remainder of the information is collected for our legitimate business purposes, which include: to keep in touch with current, past and prospective customers; to provide online account management and related services; to gain an understanding of how our customers interact with us so we can provide the most relevant products and services; to monitor the use of our website and improve its facilities; to identify suspected criminal activity and take appropriate action; to manage our supply chain and the relationship with our suppliers (including the management of rebates and claimbacks); and to protect and defend our rights. When we collect personal information from you we will indicate whether it is mandatory or voluntary – this is done on the website by using asterisks to mark mandatory fields. Retention We will retain your personal information for as long as needed for the legitimate business purposes described above. If you are a visitor to the website, we will retain your information for a limited period in order to respond to your query, provide you with the information you require or to send you updates on our products and services for as long as you indicate that you are happy for us to do so. If you make a one-off purchase, we normally keep records of the transaction for 7 years. If you are an account customer or a supplier, we normally keep records for 7 years after the closure of your account or the last purchase or sale you made. In all cases, this is for accounting, tax and product liability purposes. Your information may be retained for longer than this if there are valid legal grounds for us to do so, for example if required by law or court order, or as needed to defend or pursue legal claims. Working with service providers Like most organisations, we engage service providers to run our website and IT systems, to help us administer accounts, to conduct credit checks and fraud screening, and to handle postal and email marketing campaigns. We also work with a large number of suppliers who provide products and delivery services to us. Some important service providers we use are: OneTrust – who provide the functionality to manage your cookie settings whilst browsing and shopping. Google Analytics and Hotjar – to provide data on how customers interact with this website. Mailchimp – for sending out email newsletters and marketing, but only when you have previously and specifically consented to receive these (opted in). Freshdesk – to handle customer service enquiries (e.g. email tickets or live chat). Ideal Postcodes – to quickly search for an address or postcode (e.g. when checking out). Royal Mail, ParcelForce, DPD Local and Intersoft – to provide our various delivery services. Stripe, PayPal and Amazon Pay – for processing different types of payments. Trustpilot – to ask for independent feedback on the service you have received from us. Please note that, at this time, we work with Trustpilot to send out review requests to all customers a few days after an order is placed. We will only provide these companies with the information they need to deliver the service we have engaged them for and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Whenever we share personal information about our customers or visitors to our website with our service providers, we will put in place contracts which require the service provider to protect the information and keep it secure. See the Transferring information to other countries section below. Other disclosures Your information may be shared within the Travis Perkins Group for account management (including credit accounts), analysis and reporting. Your personal data may be disclosed to the following third parties for the purposes described above: tax, customs and excise authorities; regulators, courts and the police; fraud screening agencies; central and local government; insurance companies; and other professional advisors. We may also disclose your personal information if we believe that the disclosure is necessary to enforce or apply our terms and conditions or otherwise protect and defend our rights, property or the safety of our customers and other users of the website. We may disclose and/or transfer your personal information in connection with a reorganisation of all or part of our business, if the majority of our shares are bought by another company or if we transfer all or some of our assets to another company. Transferring information to other countries Some of the companies who provide services to us may be located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA). For instance, some key service providers that we rely on are located in the USA. As a result, your personal information may be transferred outside the UK, but only the specific data to fulfil that service will be sent. We will ensure that these service providers comply with any legal requirements that apply to the transfer of personal information outside the UK, including, where appropriate, requiring the service provider to sign the approved European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third-party countries. Security We are committed to safeguarding the personal information you provide to us. We use appropriate measures to protect the information that you submit through our website and the information we collect and store about our customers. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via our website and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data against loss, theft and unauthorised use, access or modification. If you have created an account or registered to use any online services, your account details may be password protected. It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and to sign out once you have finished browsing. Changes to this policy Any changes to this privacy policy will be posted here.
