Privacy Policy
Portland is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This Privacy Policy explains how we use the information we collect about you, how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.
1. The information we collect and how we use it
When you place an order, request a catalogue, or provide feedback using our website, we need to know your name and other information such as your postal address, e-mail address and telephone number. We gather this information to allow us to process your request. The relevant information is then used by us, our agents and sub-contractors to provide you with the service you have requested and to communicate with you on any matter relating to the provision of the service in general. We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our service. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual. We may also wish to provide you with information about special features of our web site or email. If you would rather not receive this information please contact us requesting opt out.
2. Our use of Cookies and other information gathering technologies
This website uses cookies. For more information on cookies and how they affect your access to this website, please click here.
3. How we protect your information
The Internet is not a secure medium. However we have installed a mechanism that uses digital server identities so that you can be sure that the website you access is ours. This is done using one of the internet Trusted Certification Authorities. When you access the secure payment pages (Paypal) of our site your browser will be provided with an electronic certificate confirming that you have accessed our site and all communications will be encrypted. When you create an online order, request information or leave feedback that is then passed on to the relevant destination using the same level of encryption, this includes credit card verification. Firewalls are used to block unauthorised traffic to the servers and the actual servers are located in a secure location which can only be accessed by authorised personnel.
4. Updating your details
If any of the information that you have provided to Portland changes (for example if you change your e-mail address, name or payment details or if you wish to cancel your registration) please let us know. Please fill out our contact form, update your online account settings or by sending a letter to Customer Services, Portland Janitorial Products, 14 York Street, Ayr, South Ayrshire, KA8 8AN.
5. Your consent
By submitting your information you give your consent to the use of that information as set out in this Privacy Policy. If we change our Privacy Policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times. Continued use of this website will signify that you agree to any such changes.
