Privacy and Security

HMG Coatings (South) Ltd is committed to protecting your personal information. This statement explains our practices for this Web site.

What Personal Information We Gather

We gather personal information that we need to know when you ask us to do something for you. For example, if you send us an enquiry, we need to know and store your email address in order to respond to you. We will always ask for your permission and tell you how we're going to use your personal information first. You can always choose not to provide it.

How We Use It

We only use the personal information we gather for purposes that you have agreed to, for example, to reply to your enquiry. We do not collect personal information about any of our site's visitors unless the visitor authorizes us to do so.

Who Has Access to It

Only people within HMG Coatings (South) Ltd who need to access your personal information can access it; for example, the people who reply to your enquiry need to know your email address and phone number.

How We Share It

We do not sell or provide your personal information to any third parties – EVER!

We never share your personal information under any circumstances:

We have your consent.

We are required to share customer information by law, to protect the interests of the company or in the discharge of public duty.

We need to share your personal information with a business partner in order to provide a service you have requested. Our business partner's use of your information is restricted to the delivery of the service you have requested.

How You Change or Remove It

You have access to your personal information that we retain. We try to keep your personal information accurate and up to date. If you'd like to change or remove your personal information, please contact us, or you can update your contact details in the account section of the website.

Security

We use current security measures to safeguard your personal information.

All the personal information you provide us is stored in a secure computing environment protected by secure firewalls to prevent unauthorized access.

We control access so that only people who need to access the information can. All staff of HMG Coatings (South) Ltd are required to adhere to a security agreement.

When you use secure areas of the site, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol with 128-bit encryption. This means that all the information sent between your computer and our secure computer environment is encrypted or scrambled so that no one can read it in transit. You can read it and we can read it-no one else. There are two cues to show you that you are using a secure area. First, the Web site address (or URL) appears as https:// (instead of just http://)-the "s" is for "secure." Second, a lock or key indicator appears in the status bar of your Web browser.

Email

If you send us an email, we may save it if we think we'll need it to communicate with you. We never sell or share email addresses. Remember, email is not a secure way to send personal information because it is not encrypted. Please don't send any personal information to us using email; use our secure forms instead.

Cookies

We use a number of different cookies on our site. If you do not know what cookies are, or how to control or delete them, then we recommend you visit http://www.aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance.

The list below describe the cookies we use on this site and what we use them for. Currently we operate an ‘implied consent’ policy which means that we assume you are happy with this usage. If you are not happy, then you should either not use this site, or you should delete the cookies having visited the site, or you should browse the site using your browser’s anonymous usage setting (called “Incognito” in Chrome, “InPrivate” for Internet Explorer, "Private Browsing" in Firefox and Safari etc.)

Third Party Cookies

These are cookies set on your machine by external websites whose services are used on this site. Cookies of this type are the sharing buttons across the site allow visitors to share content onto social networks. Cookies are currently set by LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of our website. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on this website.

You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.

Note: If you do not allow cookies to be saved on your computer, you will not be able to download information from this site.

Security Concerns

Once the cookie is saved on your computer, our Web site is the only site that can access and read the information that you provide. HMG Coatings (South) Ltd will not provide this information to any third parties or use it for sending unsolicited email.

Java and Javascript

Java is a programming language that allows different kinds of computers to talk to each other. We use Java technology to provide functionality such as navigation menus, forms and so on. You will still be able to use this Web site if you have Java or Javascript disabled, but some functionality may not be available.

Changes to this Statement

We may amend this privacy and security statement from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on this Web site.
