Privacy and Security

This website is owned and operated by Semaphore Limited. Semaphore is the controller of all personal information collected on this website.

Semaphore believe strongly in protecting the privacy of all website users and this notice sets out how we use your personal data.

By registering on this site, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your personal information under the terms of this privacy policy.

What data (“personal information”) do we gather from you?

We gather personal information such as email addresses that you provide voluntarily when you register on our website. For example when you complete our contacts section, when you request details of our products and services, when you enter one of our on-line competition promotions, you provide us with personal information which we hold and use for the purposes set out in the next section.

Use of your personal information

Our main aim in gathering your personal information is to provide you with a customised service.

If you fill your details in our contact section we use your personal information in order that we can contact you and respond to any questions and needs that you may have. We use your personal information so that we can carry out your requests for costs and product information.

We may also use personal information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our services. This helps us to keep the website relevant and interesting for customers. These statistics will not include any data that can be used to identify any individual.

If, at some time in the future, we wish to use your personal data in ways other than those set out in this privacy notice, then we will notify you about this and seek your permission to do so.

Sharing of personal information

We do not currently envisage our wishing to transfer personal information about you outside of the European Economic Area, but in the unlikely event we should wish to do so in future, we will only do so to the extent that it is permitted under all privacy and communications legislation applicable within England and Ireland. Of course if we need your specific and express consent to do this, we will obtain it before transferring any personal information.

In all cases, any use of your personal information by Semaphore which has been instigated by us (as opposed, for example, to a promotional partner), will comply with this privacy policy.

Occasionally, with your permission and depending on the purpose for and context in which you gave that permission, we will send to you by e-mail or SMS text message marketing information and news , for example, relating to new product offerings, loyalty schemes, special offers, competitions and other promotions and offers.

However, in every case, if you do not elect to receive such communications or if you elect to discontinue receiving them, then we will not send or will cease sending them to you. Also, we reserve the right to use or disclose any personal information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the integrity of the site, to fulfil your requests, or to cooperate in any law enforcement or regulatory investigation. Save for this, we do not sell, transfer or disclose personal information we have collected from you in connection with our web site activities, to third parties outside Semaphore.
