Contact and communication

This website and its owners use any information submitted to provide you with further information about the products/services offered by Collingwood Lighting or to assist you in answering any questions or queries you may have submitted. This includes using your details to subscribe you to any email news, but only if this was made clear to you and your express permission was granted when submitting any form to email process.

This website sends occasional email news to inform subscribers about products and services supplied by this website. Users can subscribe through an online automated process should they wish to do so but do so at their own discretion. Some subscriptions may be manually processed through prior written agreement with the user.

All personal details relating to subscriptions are held securely and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018.

Email marketing campaigns published by this website or its owners may contain tracking facilities within the actual email. Subscriber activity is tracked and stored in a database for future analysis and evaluation. Such tracked activity may include, but is not limited to; the opening of emails, forwarding of emails, the clicking of links within the email content, times, dates and frequency of activity.

This information is used to refine future email campaigns and supply the user with more relevant content based around their activity.

In compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations subscribers are given the opportunity to unsubscribe from newsletters and email campaigns at any time through an automated system. This process is detailed at the footer of each email campaign. If an automated un-subscription system is unavailable, clear instructions on how to un-subscribe will be detailed instead.

Although this website only looks to include quality, safe and relevant external links, users are advised to adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout this website.

The owners of this website cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any externally linked website despite their best efforts.

Social Media Platforms

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that this website and its owners participate on are custom to the terms and conditions, as well as the privacy policies, held within each social media platform respectively.

Users are advised to use social media platforms wisely and communicate/engage upon them with due care and caution in regard to their own privacy and personal details. This website nor its owners will ever ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourage users wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact them through primary communication channels such as by telephone or email.

This website may use social sharing buttons which help share web content directly from web pages to the social media platform in question. Users are advised before using such social sharing buttons that they do so at their own discretion and note that the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media platform account.

Collingwood Lighting has robust systems in place to protect your personal data from loss or misuse, including access controls, firewalls, secure servers and encryption.

Sharing information to third parties

Any information we collect is kept strictly in-house and we never share data with third party marketers.

We may use third-party service providers such as Hubspot to process and store your data. Hubspot, which we use to manage email marketing subscriber lists and send emails to our subscribers, take data privacy very seriously and you can see their privacy policy here: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy
