Privacy Policy
Fernite of Sheffield Ltd – Privacy Policy.
Fernite is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Fernite may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy is effective from 25 May 2018.
We have a lawful basis for processing your data.
1. We have a “legitimate interest” for processing data because we are a customer service organisation and need to contact customers and prospective customers in order to exist.
By contacting through email whenever possible we are causing minimal privacy impact and indeed limiting interruption to customers.
We will only contact you if we have collected contact details directly from you and not from a 3rd party marketing database.
2. We have a “contractual interest” to communicate with you if you have asked us to contact you to discuss a technical issue, potential sale and need to quote, or in order to communicate during a project or supported issue.
If we are contacting you without having obtained contact details directly from you, then we will first send an email requesting consent to communicate.
In some cases we may hold details of technical configuration. If we do this then we also hold details of a primary contact. We will never release this information to anybody except the primary contact without first gaining written permission from the primary contact.
Controlling your personal data
You may request details of personal information which we hold about you under the General Data protection Regulation EU2016/679.
On occasion we may levy a small fee to provide the information.
