Cookies & Privacy
Carmac are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We strive to protect the security of information which you provide to Carmac, and will use up-to-date measures to provide such security.
This Policy explains how we use personal information we collect about you when you use our website – www.carmac.co.uk. It also explains the conditions under which we may pass your personal information on to others and how we keep your information secure.
By using our website, you’re agreeing to be bound by this Policy.
How do we collect information from you?
We obtain information about you when you use our website, for example, when you make an enquiry with us via a web form, or sign-up to receive personalised communication via email.
What information do we collect from you?
The personal information we collect might include your name, address, email address, contact number, IP address and analytical data (e.g. what web pages you accessed and at what time.)
Why do we collect this information?
We collect your information to:
- Process and respond to any enquiries you have made with us about our services
- Carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us
- Notify you of changes to our services
- Send you communication which you have requested and that may be of interest
- Personalise your repeat visits to our websites, including remarketing activities (see section below).
What do we do with your information?
Your personal information is stored on highly-secure external databases that are only accessible by appropriate Carmac staff and their web developer.
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any sensitive information is protected and processed via 256-Bit SSL encryption.
Nothing is ever guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
How long do we keep hold of your information?
We will only hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any contract you hold with us.
Who might we share your information with?
We will not share your information with third parties outside of Carmac, except where we have a legal or contractual requirement to do so.
