Privacy Policy

 

Thomas B. Bonnett is a Hardware Store and Bespoke Ironworks.

This privacy notice explains how we use and store any personal

information we collect about you & how we observe your

privacy rights.

 

What information do we collect about you?

 

We only record personal data that is relevant to the service you require from us; so only a name & contact number &/or email address will be needed for things such as:

– ordering you specific non-stock items/contacting you when a product becomes available.

– when you enquire about jobs that the workshop engineers do.

If the service you require includes either delivery or on-site work then we will also ask for your invoice address &/or delivery address.

 

How will we use & store your information?

 

Your data will be stored & used in one of three ways:

 

Initial enquiries or stock orders for collection in store

  • Names, contact numbers & email addresses will be written in a book which is only accessible to those staff who need to process your order.
  • Workshop enquiries are recorded on a ‘current jobs’ sheet, which is passed securely only between those staff who need to process your job. Only a name or reference is displayed for engineers to select current jobs, all personal data is kept securely in a folder/filing cabinet.

 

When your job requires an invoice

  • Your data will be transferred onto our accounts system – Quickbooks Online (an approved cloud computing system), where it is stored securely and only accessed by those staff who need to process your invoice, and only shared with our accountant at the end of each financial year.
  • Paper copies of our accounts are stored securely and only for as long as we are legally obliged to.

 

When you require delivery or work carried out on-site

  • Your details will be shared only with engineers who need to come to your address, and printouts will be shredded when no longer required.
  • We occasionally need to share your details with a third party. This would only be if necessary to carry out your job (such as if gate automation was requested, extra ground works are needed for installation to be possible, or we need to use a delivery service for larger items/extra supplies applicable to your job. If a third party is involved, we will always inform you of who this is, in advance if possible, so you have the opportunity to raise any concerns, or ask any questions you have, regarding the sharing of your data.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

 

How long do we store your information?

 

For stock orders and enquiries/job quotes that you do not tell us to go ahead with we shall keep your details for 90 days, after which we shall delete/shred & securely dispose of everything we hold, unless you instruct us otherwise.

 

For all invoiced jobs we will store information for 6 years from the end of the financial year they were carried out in, as we are required to by law, after which we shall delete/shred & securely dispose of everything we hold, unless you instruct us otherwise.
