At any time you have options with regards to your data. You can ask for your data to be removed from our systems and you can unsubscribe from our emails. This allows you to be in control.
When discussing data we are referring to:

- contact details to inform you of projects and for delivery.
Data, such as credit card details and delivery details may be given to third parties such as World Pay or our approved courier provider in order to complete projects. However, these are not sold on 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.

We do not make and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website and we do not give this data to any other parties.
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 every 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. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our services.
