Harts Timber Sheds is a trading name of
Harts Timber Buildings.

Harts Timber Sheds operates ShedsBolton.co.uk and is committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you
visit our website or contact us by telephone, email or contact form.

We may collect personal information including:

Your name
Your email address
Your telephone number
Your delivery address or proposed shed location
Details of the shed or timber building you are interested in
Information you provide when contacting us by phone, email or contact form
Records of correspondence with you
Technical information such as your IP address, browser type and device information

How We Collect Your Information

We may collect information when you:

Contact us through the website
Contact us by telephone or email
Ask for information, prices or advice
Arrange or discuss an order
Visit or deal with one of our display sites

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information where necessary to:

Respond to enquiries
Provide prices and product information
Discuss your shed requirements
Arrange delivery and professional assembly
Manage orders and customer service
Deal with guarantees, queries or complaints
Maintain and improve the security and operation of our website
Meet our legal, accounting and regulatory obligations

Our Lawful Basis for Using Your Information

Depending on why we are using your information, we rely on one or more lawful bases under
UK data protection law.

Contract: where information is needed to take steps at your request
before entering into a contract or to carry out an order.
Legitimate interests: where necessary to respond to enquiries,
provide customer service, administer the business and protect the security of the website.
Legal obligation: where we need to retain or use information to
comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.
Consent: where consent is required, for example for certain
non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Website Orders and Payments

Customers do not place or pay for shed orders directly through ShedsBolton.co.uk.
The website is used to provide information and allow customers to contact us.

For standard shed orders, payment is normally made after the shed has been delivered
to the customer’s chosen location and professionally assembled.

Deposits may sometimes be taken separately, for example at a display site or where a
customer requests a bespoke shed. Any such payment is arranged offline and not through
ShedsBolton.co.uk.

We do not collect or store payment card details through this website.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

Where necessary, information may be shared with trusted service providers who help us
operate the website or communicate with customers, such as website hosting, email,
contact-form and website-security providers.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to professional advisers where
necessary, or to law enforcement or regulatory authorities where we are legally required
to do so.

If you choose to deal directly with a display site, that display site may collect
information directly from you as part of dealing with your enquiry or order.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose
for which it was collected.

The retention period may depend on whether your enquiry becomes an order, whether
information is required for a guarantee or customer-service matter, and whether we
need to keep records for legal, tax, accounting or regulatory purposes.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted or securely disposed of where
appropriate.

Cookies and Website Technology

ShedsBolton.co.uk does not currently use analytics or advertising cookies.

The website may use cookies or similar technologies where they are strictly necessary for the security, operation or functionality of the website.

If we introduce non-essential cookies or similar technologies that require consent in the future, visitors will be provided with an appropriate choice before those technologies are used.

Please see our Cookie Policy for further information.

International Data Processing

Some of the service providers used to operate the website may process information
outside the United Kingdom.

Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by UK data
protection law.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
Ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances
Ask us to restrict the way we use your information
Object to certain uses of your personal information
Ask for your information to be transferred where the right to data portability applies
Withdraw consent where we rely on consent

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests in
certain circumstances.

Data Protection Complaints

If you are concerned about how we have used your personal information, please contact
us first so that we can investigate your concern.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO),
the UK’s data protection regulator.

Further information is available on the ICO website at
ico.org.uk.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information
against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be
completely secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the way we
operate, the services we use or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with the date it was last updated.
