Window Warranty UK Limited recognises the importance of protecting the personal information and the privacy of data provided by you (and that which may personally identify you).

By accessing or browsing our website, contacting us on social media, working with or for us, offering your goods or services to us, using any of the goods and services that we provide to you or otherwise providing your information to us, you confirm that you have read and understood the entirety of this privacy policy.

This privacy policy tells you what to expect when Window Warranty UK Limited collects personal information. It applies to information we collect about:

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

• If you enter your personal details on our website, we’ll ask you for your name, address, telephone numbers (mobile and landline) and email address.
• As part of our commitment to raising standards, we may monitor and record communications with you (including phone conversations, emails and text) for quality assurance, legal, compliance and training purposes.

Visitors to our website

Each time you visit our website we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

People who use our services

Window Warranty UK Limited carry our repairs and maintenance to windows, doors, conservatories and other related products to consumers. We must hold the details of the customers who have requested our services, in order to provide these services. To deliver services under the guarantees we also offer, we will need to retain some personal information of customers for the period of the guarantee and any subsequent period during which there might be any liability. However, we only use these details to provide the service the person has requested and for other closely related purposes. For example, we might use information about people who have requested a quotation to find out if they are happy with the level of service they received or to offer additional products and services via telephone. When people do not wish to subscribe to our services, they can cancel their subscription at any time and are given an easy way of doing this by e mailing us at info@windowwarrantyuk.co.uk or writing to us at Head Office address: 6 Lidun Park, Boundary Road, Lytham St. Annes Lancashire. FY8 5HU).

During the processing and completion of contracts it may be sometimes necessary to pass contact details of customers to third parties to facilitate the delivery of services. Examples of when this would be done are when scaffolding is required, the delivery of materials to site and may be necessary to process queries or complaints. We pass details of any new installations to FENSA Ltd who register the work with each Local Authority as appropriate. The FENSA registration and Insurance Backed Guarantee processes are necessary and required for compliance purposes following the installation of some of our products.

The legal basis for processing your personal information

The law on data protection sets out several different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data.

The legal basis we rely upon for collecting and processing your data will depend on the circumstances in which it is being collected and processed. It will usually fall into one of the following:

WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH THIRD PARTIES?

On occasion when we process an enquiry or an order we may have to give some personal information to third parties companies to deal with. We always endeavour to ensure these third-party companies have the same level of data protection as we do.

When necessary we may share you details with other third-party companies (not already mentioned in previous sections) such as:
