PBSL Group is committed to implementing measures designed to protect the privacy of those using our services. PBSL Group respects the privacy of all those who visit our Site and use our online services and we collect information from and about our users to be used to improve the service we offer. Except as set forth within this Privacy Policy, our Terms & Conditions, and other published guidelines, we do not release personally identifiable information (as described below) about users of this Site without their permission.

Effect of This and Related Documents: This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms & Conditions and other published guidelines, governs your interaction with this Site, and your registration for and use of PBSL Group online services.

Opt-Out Option: We expect the information we hold to be accurate and up to date. You have the right as an individual to find out what information we hold about you and make changes if necessary; you also have the right, assuming we are not obligated by law to refuse, to ask us to stop using the information. If you would like to have your personally identifiable information removed from PBSL Group databases going forward, please e-mail sales@profbuild.co.uk and we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request. However, there will be residual information that will remain within PBSL Group databases, access logs, and other historical internal records, which may or may not contain such personally identifiable information.

The Information We May Gather:

Non personally identifiable information:

  1. As a standard practice, PBSL Group assigns a random number to each user for anonymously tracking content preferences and traffic patterns. This random number lets us keep track of “how many” times users are doing specific things – like visiting our site each month – without really knowing who those users are (unless they specifically tell us). We analyse this data for trends and statistics, such as which parts of our site users are visiting and how long they spend there. We also gather information about what users are searching for. We use all this information in order to improve our content, plan site enhancements, and measure overall site effectiveness.

Personally identifiable information:

  1. General: In certain areas of this Site, we require that you provide us with personally identifiable information, in order to be able to use that portion or those portions of this Site. This information contains: your name, address, telephone number, email address, IP address, purchases, payment transactions.
  2. Phone calls may be monitored or recorded for training, record keeping and/or quality assurance purposes. The phone records are destroyed after 6 weeks, however summarised notes of the conversations and agreements are kept within our CRM system for record keeping and to improve our customer service.

The information that we collect about you will only be used lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation 2018). All data is retained exclusively within the United Kingdom, or transferred only to ‘third countries’ where ‘adequacy of protection’ or specific certification as defined by The GDPR has been confirmed.

The legal basis for processing your data is based on the performance of a contract/ purchase from PBSL Group, requesting a quote or registering for our newsletter, that we will have stated at the point the information was initially provided, therefore we will not store, process or transfer your data outside the parties detailed above unless we have an appropriate lawful reason to do so. Unless we are precluded from doing so by law, you have the right to remove your consent at any time by emailing us at sales@profbuild.co.uk or by contacting us and requesting that processing of your details be restricted or deleted.

Our data sets are regularly reviewed to ensure that only data necessitated by warranty and/ or legal requirements is kept.
