    Aggregated Data

    We may also collect, use and share some Aggregated Data about our customers’ behaviour patterns and browsing actions. This data may be derived from your personal information but it does not identify you as an individual so is not considered personal data in law. For example, we may aggregate Usage Data to calculate the number of users visiting a specific website location.

  • 3. Why we collect your data

    So that we, as a business, may provide a service and fulfil any obligations to you (as a visitor, user or customer) it is necessary for us to collect and process Personal Data. We use your data to provide and improve our service.

    We may also use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and any other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of receiving any, or all, of these communications from us by following the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us.

    We use the following lawful basis for processing your personal information:

    Consent

    We may process your information in situations where we have gained your explicit consent. For example, when you tick a box to receive our email newsletter. Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis and you have the right to withdraw your consent to marketing at any time by emailing [email protected].

    Contractual Obligations

    We process data routinely to comply with contractual obligations we are about to enter into or have entered into with you. For example, we need to collect your delivery address details and pass to our couriers in order to deliver your purchase to you.

    Legitimate Interest

    We require your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way which might reasonably be expected and does not impact your interests, freedoms and fundamental rights. For example, we can use your order history to send you personalised offers and your address details to send you direct marketing information by mail. We can also combine the shopping behaviour of many customers to identify trends and better understand their needs.

    Legal Compliance

    In certain situations, the law requires us to collect and process your data to comply with our legal or regulatory obligation. For example, we can pass details of fraudulent transactions or other criminal activity affecting our business to law enforcement.

  • 4. How we collect your data

    We collect different information about you in a number of ways:

    Information you give us

    Much of what you likely consider personal data is collected directly from you when you:

    • Sign up to our newsletter.
    • Give us feedback

We will also keep a record of your purchases and any communications you have with us.

    However, we also collect additional information when delivering our Services to you to ensure necessary and optimal performance. These methods of collection may not be as obvious to you, so we wanted to highlight and explain below a bit more about what these might be (as they vary from time to time) and how they work:

    Information from third parties

    We do not seek to obtain, have never and will never purchase personal information about you from third parties.

    However, we do use Aggregated Data sources from third parties to improve the systems, services and products we provide to you and generally make informed business decisions as set out below:

    • Analytics information from providers such as Google.
    • Advertising network performance such as Facebook and Google AdWords
    • Search information providers such as Google.

    This third party Aggregated Data often relies on your use of cookies.

    Cookies

    We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information.

    Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. Tracking technologies also used are beacons, tags and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyse our Service.

    Marketing Communications

    We aim to communicate with you about the products and services we provide in a way that you find relevant, timely, respectful and never excessive. To do this we use data we have collected and stored about you as a result of our contractual obligations in conjunction with any communication preferences you have told us about.

    We only send marketing-based communications by email where you have given us explicit consent; for example, by ticking the box to opt-in during registration or guest checkout on our website. We use legitimate interest as the legal basis for communications by mail. In both instances, you have the right to opt-out of receiving these at any time either by contacting us or by updating your direct marketing preferences.

    As part of our service, we may contact you by email or telephone to provide essential information related to your purchase or visit.

    Online Advertising

    To keep you up-to-date with our brand and help you see and find products we believe are relevant to you, we use our legitimate interests to engage in online advertising.

    We target banners and adverts to you when you are on other websites and apps using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges. These adverts use a number of different technologies such as pixels, ad tags, cookies and mobile identifiers as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks such as Facebook’s Custom Audience service.

    The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about you and/or your previous use of the AIR CONTROL INDUSTRIES website such as your search history and the products you have looked at or added to your basket.

    For more information on cookies, including how you can control what cookies are used, please see our Cookie Policy.
