The legal basis for our use of your information

We may hold and process personal data that you provide to us in accordance with the GDPR.

The information that we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide our services to you, and to meet our contractual commitments to you, including internal record keeping.  In addition, we may use the information for the following purposes:

  • To notify you about any changes to our website, such as improvements or product/service changes that may affect our service
  • If you are an existing customer, we may contact you with information about products and services similar to those that were the subject of a previous sale to you and that we think may be of interest to you
  • If you have consented to receive our e-newsletters, we will include you in our monthly newsletter sends, which you can opt out of at any time

Disclosure of your information

We may disclose your information to regulatory bodies to enable us to comply with the law and to assist fraud protection and minimise credit risk.

Please note that we do not reveal information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may from time to time, provide them with aggregate statistical information about our visitors.

Controlling the use of your data

If you have given us consent to use your data for a particular purpose, you can revoke or vary that consent at any time.  If you do not want us to use your data or want to vary the consent that you have provided you can write to us at Phoenix Compaction Systems Limited, Cherry Tree Lane, Rainham, Essex RM13 8TH or email us at sales@phoenixcomp.co.uk.

Where we store and transfer your data

As part of the services offered to you, for example through our website, the information you provide to us may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) as we use remote website server hosts to provide the website and some aspects of our service, which may be based outside of the EEA, or use servers based outside of the EEA – this is generally the nature of data stored in “the Cloud”.  It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for one of our suppliers, e.g. our website server host, or work for us when temporarily outside of the EEA.

A transfer of your personal data may happen if any of our servers are located in a country outside of the EEA or one of our service providers is located in a country outside of the EEA.  If we transfer or store your personal data outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected, as outlined in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with the GDPR.  If you use our service while you are outside the EEA, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with these services.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal data, such as race, religion or political affiliations without your explicit consent.

We may disclose your personal data outside of our group: (a) in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; and (b) if  Phoenix Compaction Systems Limited’s business is bought by a third party, in which case personal data held by it, about its customers, will be one of the assets to transfer to the buyer.  However, any such transfer will only be on terms that the confidentiality of your personal data is protected and that the terms of this Privacy Policy will continue to be complied with by the recipient.

Otherwise, we will process, disclose or share your personal data only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or legal processes served on us or our website.

You have the right to opt out of us processing your personal data for marketing purposes by contacting us at sales@phoenixcomo.co.uk.

Email tracking

Some emails that we send you have no tracking in at all, e.g. service emails with invoices attached. Other emails include tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site, but we do not know who has clicked so the data is anonymous, e.g. our monthly newsletter. For some emails we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on links in the email. We use the latter information at a personal level, to understand open and click rates on our emails to try to improve them. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked, then you can opt out of Phoenix Compaction Systems Ltd’s emails which you can do by emailing “UNSUBSCRIBE” to sales@phoenixcomp.co.uk.

Security

The transmission of information via the internet or email is not completely secure.  However, we have put security measures in place by installing a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on our website which encrypts all data submitted via the online contact forms and web forms and protects your personal data.  We cannot guarantee the security of data while you are transmitting it to our site; any such transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your personal data, we will use our strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Third party links

You may find links to third party websites on our website.  These websites should have their own privacy policies, which you should check.  We do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies whatsoever as we have no control over them.

Social buttons

There are buttons for:  Twitter, Facebook and Google+ .  In order to implement these buttons and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Phoenix Compaction Systems Ltd. You should be aware that these sites may collect information about what you are doing on the internet, including on Compaction Systems Ltd’s website. So, if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information.  In some cases, these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting Phoenix Compaction Systems Ltd, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button while you are logged into their sites.
