PRIVACY POLICY
Martin Allen Flooring & French Polishing is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
(1) WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:
(a) information about your visits to and use of this website;
(b) information about any transactions carried out between you and us on or about this website, including information relating to any purchases you make of our goods or services;
(c) information that you provide to us via telephone or this website to register with us and/or subscribing to our website services and/or email notifications
(d) We may record your telephone calls for training and quality purposes and to ensure we offer a high quality of customer service.
(2) INFORMATION ABOUT WEBSITE VISITS.
We may collect information about your computer and your visits to this website such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views. We may use this information in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability, and for marketing purposes.
We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We may send a cookie which may be stored on by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognise your computer when you visit our website and to personalise our website for you.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookie by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.
We also include web beacons (also known as clear gifs) in our emails to track the success of our marketing campaigns. This means that if you open an email from us, we can see which pages of the Sites you visit. Our web beacons do not store additional information on your computer but, by communicating with our cookies on your computer, they can tell us when you have opened our email. If you object to web beacons, we recommend you follow the instructions for deleting existing cookies and disabling future cookies above. We will still know how many of our emails are opened and we will automatically receive your IP address, a unique identifier of your computer or other access devices; but we will not identify you as an individual.
(3) USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may use your personal information to:
(a) improve your browsing experience by personalising the website;
(b) send information to you which we think may be of interest to you by post or by email or similar technology;
(c) send to you marketing communications relating to our business [or the businesses of carefully-selected third parties] which we think may be of interest to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology [(you can inform us at any time if you no longer require marketing communications to be sent by emailing us at info@martinallen.co.uk
(d) provide other companies with statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user.

(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
