What personal data do we collect?

The personal data we collect is primarily that which you provide us in completing our enquiry form. We may collect information about the web browser or mobile device that you use to view our website, but we do so only for statistical purposes.

How do we use your data to obtain your guide price and quote?

In order to provide our services to you we need to collect and process personal data about you and disclose that personal data to a number of third party Water Coolers Providers. As previously indicated to you when you first gave us your data, by using our website you are consenting to our doing so. There is no statutory requirement on you to provide this personal data. However, this personal data is necessary to enable us to arrange to provide you with the quotations and services that you have requested. We only collect the personal data which we believe is necessary for us to arrange to provide these quotations and services. All personal data is held in strictest confidence and used only for the purposes of arranging the provision of the quotations and services you have requested, subject to certain exceptions as described in this privacy policy.

If you provide your name and email address solely to register for our special offer emails, your data will only be used for this purpose: save where we are under a legal obligation to use the data otherwise or where you make a complaint about us.

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties to whom we may be considering selling or who may be considering buying the whole or part of our business or assets.

How do third party Water Coolers Providers use your personal data?

We pass data to third party Water Coolers Providers only so that they may contact you directly to discuss your requirements and arrange a survey to help provide your quotation. Third Party Water Coolers Providers will invariably collect additional data about you (for example where they survey or obtain information about your home) and should communicate their own data protection policy to you. Third party Water Coolers Providers may also need to process data about you in order to consider potential or to fulfil actual contracts with you. If you do not want to receive communications from those third parties, you will need to opt out directly with those third parties.

Cookies we use
