Marketing communications

When you provide us with contact details, such as when you purchase a product or contact our sales and customer services department, you may be given the opportunity to opt-in to (or in certain cases where applicable law allows, opt-out of) receiving various newsletters and other communications by post, email and/or telephone from Peter Jones (ILG) Limited. These communications may include, for instance, details about Peter Jones (ILG) Limited’s latest products and services, including improvements, special offers and industry events such as trade fairs and exhibitions in which you may be interested. We may (based on our legitimate interests) contact you without your prior consent, if the marketing communication relates to similar products and services that you have previously purchased or enquired about purchasing.

Peter Jones (ILG) Limited may also use your information to personalise and to target more effectively its marketing communications as set out in this policy. We may, for instance, segment your information into market areas such as “Communications” or “Security”, based on your company name/activities. When we use customer profiles in this way, it is done by our sales/marketing teams on a subjective basis and no automated profiling occurs. You have the right to object to this kind of personal information processing at any time you wish to do so by contacting us using the details in the “Contact us” section below.

You can change your marketing communication preferences at any time:

• If you would like to unsubscribe from an email sent to you, follow the ‘unsubscribe’ link and/or instructions usually placed at the bottom of the email. Please note, however, that:
• If you use more than one email address to purchase with or to contact Peter Jones (ILG) Limited, you will need to unsubscribe separately for each email address;
• This method will only unsubscribe from newsletters or other communications that you have received. You should contact us using the details in the “Contact us” section below to opt-out of all our marketing communications or to change your marketing communication preferences.

Please note that we may occasionally send you important information about Peter Jones (ILG) Limited products and services that you are using or have used (such as order confirmations, product safety announcements and service changes). These emails are not affected by your marketing communication preferences.

Security of your information

Peter Jones (ILG) Limited has put in place appropriate physical and technical measures to protect your personal information from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, including where appropriate:

• Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive information, such as credit card details (SSL encryption is designed to make the data unreadable by anyone but us);
• Limiting access to the information we collect about you (for instance, only those of our personnel who need your information to carry out our business activities are allowed access);
• Putting in place physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in line with industry standards.

We have been assessed as complying with the government-backed Cyber Essential Scheme. At the time of testing, our ICT defences were assessed as satisfactory against a commodity-based cyber-attack.

Please note, that although we take appropriate steps to protect your personal information, no website, online application or transmission of data, computer system or wireless connection is completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Third-party links to other sites

Our website, emails and social media pages may contain links to other third-party websites that are not operated by Peter Jones (ILG) Limited.

While Peter Jones (ILG) Limited tries to link only to safe and relevant sites that share Peter Jones (ILG) Limited’s high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of any externally linked websites.
