You can visit this Website and find information about our products without telling us who you are and without providing any personal data other than Technical Data (as described below). Please note, however, that if you do not provide the minimum necessary data requested in some parts of the Website then we may not be able to sell you products and/or provide you with certain services and information, for example if you do not provide us with a valid email address to respond to a query then we will be unable to respond to you.

We may provide this information to other companies that we know and trust, but these statistics will not include any information from which you can be personally identified.
We may collect personal data about you in several ways including through:
Where you work within a business and you interact with our social media pages, for example by following our Facebook page or liking one of our posts, we sometimes use Business Details and Key Business Contacts received via that social media platform to check whether you are a new business customer. Where you are a potential new business customer we may get in touch via that social media platform to ask if you are happy for us to use your Business Details and Key Business Contacts for our other marketing activities. For example we may message you on Facebook asking if you would like to receive our newsletters via email. Further details about our marketing activities can be found in the Collecting Personal Data section explaining why CD (UK) Ltd. might collect personal data.
Where you are an existing customer we may include information about your social media interactions with us on our CRM system.
Ordering a product or requesting a service. Where you place an order for a product or request a service from us we will use your personal data to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. This may include Order Details, Invoices, Delivery Notes, Consumer Contact Details and Business Details as applicable. We also hold some of this information following the transaction to comply with our legal obligations, for example holding information about transactions for tax purposes.
Due diligence checks. Where you are a business we may carry out due diligence checks which are necessary for our legitimate interests to make business decisions such as deciding credit limits for customers. This data includes Business Details, Due Diligence Details, Proforma Account Application Data and Credit Facilities Application Data and may include personal data relating to individuals involved in that business.
Requests and queries. We use personal data to respond to requests and queries received from customers and prospective customers, the data we use to do this includes Consumer Contact Details, Business Details and Key Business Contacts. We do this as it is necessary for us to take these steps prior to entering into a contract with you, in performance of a contract we already have with you or for our legitimate interests to provide our customers or prospective customers with a high level of customer service.
Marketing. We sometimes carry out direct marketing activities to businesses but not to consumers. Some of this marketing does not involve the use of personal data (for example sending marketing by post to the registered office of a company, or email marketing to an email address which is not associated with a specific individual such as “info@…”. We may also carry our more personalised marketing using personal data such as Business Details, Key Business Contacts and Marketing Preferences as appropriate. We carry out marketing activities for our legitimate interests to identify potential new business customers and to grow and promote our business to existing business customers and prospective business customers. We may also carry out direct marketing activities to you where you have provided your specific consent for us to do this, for example by signing up to our newsletter online or by providing your contact details to us at an exhibition or show. When we send marketing by email we include an unsubscribe link.
If you do not wish to receive further marketing from us please let us know by contacting us using the details shown in the Contacting CD (UK) Ltd. section or by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of one of our emails.
Warranties. We use Warranty Registration Details in order to fulfil any product warranties. This may be because we have sold the product to you and have contractual obligations to you, or because we have been appointed by the manufacturer of the product to provide warranty services on its behalf, where doing so is in our legitimate interest in performance of that contract. Depending on the product and the requirements of the manufacturer this may involve us holding Warranty Registration Details provided at or around the point at which you purchased the product, asking for proof of purchase if you wish to make a warranty claim, or making use of the manufacturer’s warranty database.
