Charles Yorke Ltd (company number 05202004) (referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”) is the controller and responsible for your personal data.
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped as follows:
We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data when:
Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us on the details set out in the ‘How can I get my name removed from a Charles Yorke website mailing list’ section below.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes (which coincides with our five year building division (including additional units) product warranty period). For our retail customers and their customers that period is extended to ten years in order to cover our ten year product warranty period.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Please be aware that our websites may include links to third party websites. Clicking on those links may allow those third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their privacy policies.
In providing you with the services that you have requested, for example if you request information about becoming an overseas dealer, we may need to transfer your personal information to countries which do not have data protection laws in line with our current laws. If so we will keep control of the information or require anyone we pass to, to hold it to the standard of current English data protection laws.
