GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force May 2018. This legislation replaces existing data protection laws and governs how companies collect, hold and use people’s personal data.

D R Collin Fish Ltd is committed to GDPR compliance and strengthening the security and protection of its customers and employee’s data.

D R Collin Fish Ltd therefore abides by the following customer data safeguarding principles: –

  • Only data specifically necessary for the supply of goods to customers will be collected and stored
  • Customer data is only stored electronically within our premises centralised system and backup disks. These can only be accessed by Directors and Senior Staff
  • Any printed documentation that includes customer data is stored at our premises under lock and key. The only key holders are Directors and Senior Members of Staff.
  • All printer documentation is shredded at time of disposal.
  • CCTV camera recordings at our premises will not be kept longer than is necessary for the maintenance of good security
  • Our customers have a permanent right to request that all data be erased at any time. If you wish to be erased from our systems, please contact our Data Protection Officer.

We only use customer data in processing the fulfilment of customer orders, and optional communication of any commercial news and offers.

None of our customer data is transferred to any third party for marketing purposes.

We expect all our suppliers to have GDPR procedures in place and encourage customers to familiarise themselves with GDPR.

All our staff are familiar with the importance of GDPR and their personal responsibilities to protecting customer data.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a review, the review and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up reviews automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site, or have left reviews, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
