Mailing Lists

As part of the registration process for our e-newsletters, we collect personal information by means of an online form you fill out and submit, or at trade shows where you provide your details when you visit our stand. We use that information: to tell you about products and services you’ve asked us to tell you about; to check that our records are correct and to check every now and then that you are happy to remain on our lists and, in respect of data collected at trade shows, to follow up on information requests.

Newsletters and Mailers

We use a third-party provider, Constant Contact, to deliver our newsletters and mailers. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. When we send you an email newsletter, you can also edit your preferences by following the Update Profile link at the bottom of the email. You can also tailor the kind of information we send you by choosing your field of interest on the Newsletter Subscription Form on our website. You can unsubscribe to our mailings at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails, or by emailing our marketing team directly.

Any collection of personal information arising from your submission of enquiry forms on this website will only be used for the purpose stated on the form i.e., a product enquiry or request for more information. It is stored on our secure website content management system. Your data will only be passed securely to the relevant internal team.

Accordingly, a subsequent website that collects URL information may log some personal information.

When our chat agent is offline you are able to leave a message by submitting your contact details through the pop-up enquiry form. Your personal information is only used for the purposes stated in the live chat or offline message and is passed to the relevant sales team to get in touch with you about your enquiry. Your data is stored on the Zendesk secure website portal.
