New data protection legislation has updated and enhanced the rights of consumers in respect of information held about them by businesses.  We have published this data protection guide to ensure that our customers are fully informed regarding the legislation effecting the relationship between us.

This guide sets out the ways in which we handle information about you and your rights in respect of that information.

What information do we hold and how do we obtain it?

Typically, we may receive information about you from one of two sources:

• Directly from you, usually when you purchase goods from us or receive our services. (e.g. your name, address, telephone number and credit card details).
• Indirectly from you, through your use of our services. (e.g. your email or telephone calls).

For what purposes do we use your information?

We use your information:

• To ensure that the goods you have purchased are delivered to you as efficiently as possible.

We, or reputable parties acting on our behalf, may use your information:

• To identify and maintain records of your account and in order to provide you with usage and billing information.
• To ensure that the services we offer you continue to be the most appropriate service for your needs.
• To respond to any query that you may raise with us about your account.
• To update our systems for enhanced service provision to you.
• Use information provided by you to inform you (by post, email or telephone) about other services offered by enviro-gro-lites.co.uk

TAKING CARE OF YOUR DATA.

We undertake to you that we will:

• Not seek or hold information about you which is excessive for our purposes.
• Endeavour to keep any information about you up-todate and accurate.
• Endeavour to protect your data against unauthorised or unlawful use.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have certain rights under the new legislation in relation to the information that we hold about you.  The most important of these rights is set out below:

Access to information about you.

You may request in writing details of the personal information that we hold on you and the purpose for which it is held.  We will usually provide such details to you by way of a photocopy or computer print out in the form that such details are held on our system.  However, provision of such information may be subject to an administration charge (as permitted by the legislation).  If you wish to receive details of the information that we hold about you, you should write to the address given at the bottom of these terms and conditions and enclose a cheque for £5 payable to Emporium Projects.  Your request will be met within 40 days.  If you have a concern about a specific use that we are making of your information, it may help us to identify the data in question if you set out details of your concerns in writing.

Overseas Customers:

The Distance Selling regulations do not apply to overseas customers who should be aware of the following specific terms relating to their purchases:

Overseas customers should be aware that different warranty terms apply to sales outside of the UK.

1. None of the carriers we use offer insurance cover for glass items, your goods will be well packed but we accept no responsibility for any damage or loss to your goods while in transit. Once we deliver your goods to the carrier the risk becomes yours.
   
2. The lamps would be covered by the normal 12 month warranty which is operated on a return to base system. This means should one of your lamps fail you would have to return it to us at your own cost and pay the carriage for the replacement to be sent to you.
   
3. Buying from us indicates that you understand and accept these conditions.
