Cookies and Privacy Policy

GF Wilson Partnership is a data controller and data processor for the purposes of data protection legislation. Relevant, authorised members of our staff will have access to the information you provide to us for the purposes of providing your services, or any personal data sent to us via post or through our website contact form. The head office of our business is located in Rochdale, and the company has an appointed internal data protection officer. Should you have any questions or concerns about us and our personal data policies or practices, you can contact us via any of the details contained in our contact page. We reserve the right to change this privacy policy and will post any revisions on this website.

We process information about you or your company, known as personal data, to enable us to carry out our business as a provider of building services and property maintenance. We have a duty of care to look after the best interests of our staff, and our customer, and to do that we need to collect and process relevant information. We process some other information to help us make sure we are delivering a service that treats people legally and fairly, prevents human rights abuses, and is always improving.

Information is shared with partner organisations in order for us to process invoices and fulfil our obligations in providing our services to you or your business. We need to share names, address information and order details with those companies, for accounting purposes, and with other providers should that be required. We have contracts in place with these organisations that require them to treat any information as confidential before we share your personal information with them.

We may also provide your information to other third parties, such as but not limited to regulators and law enforcement bodies, where we are required to do so by law, where necessary for the purpose of preventing and detecting fraud, other criminal offences or to ensure network and information security. If we would like to share your data with anyone not covered in this privacy notice (such as sharing testimonials with potential customers), we will only do this where we have a legitimate reason to do so and where required will ask for your specific consent to do so.

All individuals have rights regarding their personal data. You have the right to know what information we hold about you, what we are using it for, who we are sharing it with, how long we are keeping it, and on what basis we are processing the data. While we always prefer to process data based on your explicit consent, as a manufacturer and supplier delivering products, we also have a legitimate interest in processing your data to deliver the product and services you require from us. There are also times when we have to process your information because we are required to by law. If you would like to see the records we hold on file for you, please contact us using the details on the contact page of our website.

We implement and maintain appropriate security measures to help protect your personal data and guard against access by unauthorised persons. Information storage is on secure computers in a secure environment, or in secure, locked storage in the case of hard copy information. The information is encrypted wherever possible and we undergo periodic reviews of our security policies and procedures to ensure that our systems are secure and protected. However the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure so we cannot guarantee the security of your information when it is transmitted to our website or from third party websites, including transmission by email or through other digital communications.

We acknowledge that the information you provide may be confidential. We do not sell, rent, distribute or otherwise make personal data commercially available to any third party, but we may share information with our partners, service providers and for the purposes set out in this privacy notice. We will keep your information confidential and protect it in accordance with our privacy notice and all applicable laws. You have the right to object to your data being processed on the basis of legitimate interests or direct marketing.
