Privacy Policy

Background

On the 25th May 2018 the new GDPR legislation came into effect.  We have updated our Privacy Policy around the new rules.

As a Company we respect your personal data and we have an obligation to keep it safe.  We only collect data that is necessary in order to conduct business relations and we would not expect you to provide data, or use such data for purposes for which it is not intended.

Under the new legislation, we are by law required to get your consent to allow us to communicate with you through various channels and as such we are adopting an “opt-in” approach.  By now, you would have been provided with our “opt-in” consent form.  If you have not received a consent form, please feel free to contact us on 01387 460385 and speak to the Data Protection Officer, or email to info@nutritradeuk.com

What Data do we collect and what are we using it for?

In order to open a Trade Account with us, we will collect data on our Trade Registration form relating to your business.  We collect Trading Name and Address Details, delivery address details, any restrictions with regard to deliveries into the delivery address, contact names, phone numbers and email addresses for both the main contact and the accounts payable contact.  We also collect documentation which would provide evidence of proof of trade such as utility bills, letterheads, trade invoices and copies of vat registration certificates.  We also collect your company bank details in order to verify where the payments are coming in from in line with the money laundering Act of 2017.  We also collect data relating to where you came to hear about us, which is used for marketing purposes.  Our Trade Registration Forms are a legal trading document and as such we require a signature from an authorised signatory to endorse the Trading Relationship.

This data will mainly be used to provide you with services, products and information relating to our trading relationship.  We will also keep a note of how you prefer to be contacted.  Your data will also help us in improving our service, products and information for all our customers.

Your data is also used to process your orders.  We use the data to monitor the use of our website in order to improve the functionality.  We may use your data in order to contact you if we have a query relating to your order.  If you have consented to opt in we will send you communications (this could be by post, telephone, SMS or email) about features, services, products, promotions and special offers.  We may use your data in order to verify your identity.

We may use your data to conduct a credit check through our service providers to facilitate a credit account.  We ensure our Data Processors are all GDPR compliant.  Your data may also be used to detect and reduce fraud and credit risks.

We may from time to time use your data in order to analyse our customer database.  We could use your geographical data, or demographical data in order to profile our database.  This would allow us to target specific markets and provide a more bespoke offer.  We do not sell data to any third party.
