It covers information that could identify you (“personal information” or ‘’personal data’’). In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means any operation performed on the personal information including collecting, storing, transferring, using, or otherwise acting on information.We hope the sections below will answer any questions you have but, if not, please do get in touch with us here.
The information we collect about you

For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we will treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

Directly provided data
“Directly provided data” means when you visit our website, register with us, request a magazine or place an order for products or services, you are providing data by filling in text boxes or clicking buttons.
We also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys, provide feedback, contact customer services, and participate in competitions.

When you provide feedback and post customer reviews on our website we collect data in order to respond appropriately.
When you give this information to us it requires a direct action from you and, as such, is deemed to be “directly provided data”.
User-authorised data
“User-authorised data” is when you give us permission to obtain your data from other businesses. Depending on your settings or the privacy policies for other online services, you may give us permission to obtain information from your account with those other services.
For example, if another website jointly runs a competition with us, they will send us a list of the entrants who opted to receive our email newsletter as part of their entry. The information we obtain from such third parties does depend on your settings for that service or their privacy policies, so you should always regularly check what those say.
However, we will only arrange such joint promotions if it is made clear how the data will be shared with us. Where appropriate we will share any specific details as part of the terms and conditions of any promotion.
This applies specifically (but not only) where you are asked if you would like to agree to receive/sign up to receive our magazine on the Facebook social media platform; to the giving of Reviews on the Trust Pilot platform; making a booking to visit to our showroom on the Booking Bug platform and applying for Interest Free Credit with PayPal Credit. This applies generally when you use any social media platform or forum, including Christopher Ward Forum.
System collected data
“System collected data” is when our systems, or those of companies we engage with, collect information or data as you use our website or other services.
Whenever you use a website, or read email, there is certain information that gets created and recorded automatically by the system. For example:
