Privacy policy

The following policy applies to Recork Ltd’s digital platforms.

Privacy & cookies.

We respect the privacy rights of our online visitors and recognise the importance of protecting your personal information. We have adopted a corporate wide Privacy Policy that guides how we collect, store and use the information that you provide us with.

The following information is provided by Recork Ltd (“Recork”) to enable our online visitors to be fully informed of our Privacy Policy. By visiting recork.co.uk or any connected sub-domains, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites maintained by other companies or organisations to which we link and Recork is not responsible for any personal information you submit to third parties via our website. Please ensure that you read the Privacy Policy of such other companies or organisations before submitting your details.

What personal information do we collect from you and how?

Recork collects personal information in several ways when you submit a request or register for a service offered by Recork. By registering, you are consenting to the collection of your personal data. If an order or request is placed with us, we need to hold personal information including your name, email address, phone numbers, company address and shipping address to fulfil the request.

We may also obtain information as a result of authentication or identity checks. Sometimes we may ask for your telephone number and email address. This information may be given to our courier for delivery services. These details allow us to process your request and to let you know the status of your request.

What about cookies?

Our site uses cookies (very small files that are sent by us to your computer or other access device) which we can access when you visit our site in future.

There are four types of cookies:

Website functionality cookies: These cookies enable you to browse the website and use our features such as ordering samples, shopping baskets and wish lists.

Website analytics cookies: We use these cookies to measure and analyse how our customers use the website. This allows us to continuously improve our website and your Recork experience.

Customer preference cookies: When browsing or shopping online, the website will remember preferences you make (for example language or location). This makes your browsing experience simpler, easier and more personal to you.

Targeting cookies or advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts relevant to you. In addition, they limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as helping us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

By using our website you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device and access them when you visit the site in the future.

How this information may be used, including anyone it might be shared with?

Recork may use your personal information for the processing of orders, sample requests and to provide you with a personalised experience. We will also use your details to fulfil and deliver your orders and manage your account. Personal information that you provide may be disclosed to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, which may keep a record of that information. Where there is a legal obligation to do so, we may disclose your information to any relevant regulatory body. We may also use your personal information to send you marketing updates but only ever in accordance with your preferences (as detailed in the next section). We do not sell your details to third party marketing companies. We do collate information about site traffic, sales, wish lists and other commercial information which we may pass on to third parties but this information does not include any information which can identify you personally.

Finally, we may use your personal information for our internal marketing and demographic studies, together with non-personal data to monitor customer patterns so we can consistently improve our site design to better meet our visitors’ needs.

From time to time Recork may employ third party business partners to collect personal information or to undertake marketing activities on our behalf. In such cases, these third parties will be subject to confidentiality agreements and instructed by Recork to comply fully with Recork’s Privacy Policy.
