Introduction

Although privacy policies can look somewhat boring, they're important. We take safeguarding your personal information very seriously. You can be sure that we do not, and never will, sell any of your personal information, or release it to anyone without your consent.

We want to be open and transparent with our visitors.

How we use your information

This privacy notice tells you what to expect when CRISSCROSS Furniture Ltd [CRISSCROSS] collects personal information.

Like all U.K. businesses, we're governed by the Data Protection Act 1998. It means you can see what personal information we may hold and ask us to change or delete it.

We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be upfront about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it. For more information, please visit Google Analytics' privacy policy.

Access to personal information

• 2. tell you why we are holding it;

• 3. tell you who it could be disclosed to; and

• 4. let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

To make a request to CRISSCROSS for any personal information we may hold you need to put the request in writing to the address provided below.

Disclosure of personal information

We do not, and never will, sell any of your personal information. We will not disclose personal data without consent. However when we investigate a complaint, for example, we will need to share personal information with the individual or organisation concerned and with other relevant bodies. Further information is available, about the factors we consider when deciding whether information should be disclosed, by contacting us using the details below.

You can also get further information on:
