PRECIOUS MARBLE LIMITED– PRIVACY STATEMENT

What information does Precious Marble Ltd collect?

When you place an order with Precious Marble Ltd in store or via our telesales department, the information that we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide our products and services to you. This is to ensure that we can carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us and to provide you with the information, products and services that you request from us.

Your name, address and contact details may be shared with our delivery contractors to ensure that we can fulfil our contractual arrangement with you to deliver the products and services you purchase from us.

Precious Marble hold this information for the full period of the goods guarantee to allow us to commit to the guarantee and send out our service managers if required.

Delivery contractors who deliver to you directly will be passed your full contact details, that you provide us, to allow them to fulfill this requirement.

If you choose to contact us using the chat functions enabled on our websites, these are supported by selected third party providers who will store details of the chat securely on their own servers for 12 weeks.

If you request a sample from us then we will share your name and address details with our delivery contractors who will only use this for providing you with this sample. Once this has been provided, your details will be deleted.

If you request a service or a repair from us this will normally be completed by Precious Marble personnel, however there may be instances where we ask a third party to repair your item, at which point we will share your name and address details with our service team who will use this only for providing you with the repair service.

If you provide information to us about any person other than yourself, you must ensure that they understand how their information will be used and that they have given their permission for you to disclose it to us and for you to allow us to use it for the purposes discussed with you e.g. to arrange for delivery of the item purchased.

If you choose to communicate with us by telephone, this information will be stored for our records and will be retained securely for 12 weeks.

Finance Applications: If you wish to enter into a finance agreement to purchase worktop or tiles, we will facilitate this for you by passing your information to the finance providers with whom we have agreed arrangements in place. The finance providers are third party data controllers and are therefore responsible for any information that you provide to them. More information about how they use your information can be found within their Privacy policies detailed in the links below:

Precious Marble enable you to set up a direct relationship with these providers. The third-party finance providers may, for example, ask credit reference agencies about you, keep records to help them decide whether to grant credit and to provide you with finance. Once the finance company have accepted your application for finance, Precious Marble only keep records in relation to which finance provider you have entered into an arrangement with in order to finance your purchase with us, as well as the loan terms and the value of the finance requested. If an initial provider approached decides not to offer you a finance agreement, we will pass your information to alternative providers who may carry out their own credit searches. Once the worktops or tiles has been delivered, the application details will be removed from the Precious Marble Ltd systems.

VAT Refunds: We will never ask you to provide us with sensitive personal data unless we require it to complete your requests. This may be if you are exempt from VAT in relation to a disability, in which case we may require data relating to your physical or mental health in order to make arrangements requested by you. If you choose to provide this sensitive personal data to complete your request, we will only use it for the specific reasons discussed with you.

Information Precious Marble Ltd receives from other sources: We may also collect information about you from other sources, and combine such information with information we hold about you, including where:

  • Our trusted partners have collected information about you, and you have consented to disclosure to us.

  1. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within 3 weeks and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
