GDPR Policy - Fireplace Centre
Data Protection
GDPR
We are committed to our users’ rights to privacy. We promise to share transparently all aspects of how The Fireplace Centre product and websites work regarding privacy, terms, and personal data, and we are in full support of efforts to ensure your protection on and offline.
GDPR COMPLIANCE
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) take effect May 25, and we are entirely behind the spirit of these regulations for a safe and secure Internet. We aspire to embrace privacy by design and, whenever possible, not to collect and store personally identifiable information.
Our Privacy Policy references the few instances where personally identifiable information is required. Typically this will include an email, phone, and address for your sales request to The Fireplace Centre.
Overall, we aim for privacy by default: if data collection is not integral to how our product works, we won’t collect it. This approach has felt very much in line with the spirit of GDPR, and we’re fortunate that many of these data collection practices have been in place at The Fireplace Centre for some time. As such, you may see a few banners or forms requesting consent for us to collect personally identifiable information for tracking or other purposes.
At any time, you may request that your information be exported and sent to you for review, and we promptly honour any requests by you to delete and forget your information.
