Data, such as credit card and delivery details, may be given to third parties such as World Pay or our approved courier provider to complete projects. However, these are not sold or used for marketing purposes.
We store your data in-house on a secure system. Only BEL Group personnel have access to it, again, for the reasons above.

Email Marketing
As part of the quotation process, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We do not sell email contact lists.
We use a third-party provider, Constant Contact (www.constantcontact.com), to deliver our email marketing.
