Privacy Policy

Who we are

At Paladin Locksmiths, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our customers and visitors to the website. We want you to know that we are not in the business of selling, renting, or trading email lists with other companies for marketing purposes. In this Privacy Policy, we’ve given lots of detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information. Also how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

How we use your data

Paladin Locksmiths uses your personal data:

• to provide goods and services to you;
• to enable us to manage customer service interactions with you; and
• where we have a legal right or duty to use or disclose your information (for example in relation to an investigation by a public authority or in a legal dispute).

How we protect your data

We maintain all electronic data we collect in up-to-date, password-protected software. Passwords are changed often and all IT systems which access data run anti-virus software with up to date virus definitions. Any paper based records such as carbon copies of invoices are kept under lock and key in our business premises which are not open to the public.

Types of data we collect

• Website cookies

  Websites that you visit place small text files called cookies on your computer. They widely use these cookies to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

• Google Analytics

  When someone visits our website we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log info and details of visitor behaviour patterns. This is to find out things such as the number of guests to the various parts of the site. We only process this information in a way which does not identify anyone. We certainly do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

Lawful basis for processing data

We collect and use personal data only when it is needed for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps at the request of customers prior to entering into a contract.

Access to personal information

You can view, amend, or delete the personal information that we hold. To arrange this then please contact us using the details below.
If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by giving you the specific information you need over the phone.

How long do we keep your data?

We will not retain your data for longer than needed for the purposes set out in this Policy. Different periods apply for different types of data, however the longest we will normally hold any personal data is 6 years.

Links to other websites

This privacy notice does not cover the links within this site linking to other websites. We therefore ask you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit.
