C&C Interiors Online PRIVACY POLICY

C&C Interiors Online is committed to complying with the Data Protection Act. We strive to actively protect your privacy and have taken steps to explain this in full on this page. We do not disclose your information to anyone outside of C&C Interiors Online except for the purposes of arranging delivery of your goods.

1. Secure Online Shopping with C&C Interiors Online

We take security very seriously and make shopping online safe. Your browser will go into secure mode as soon as you access the 'checkout' page i.e. before you enter any personal or payment details. You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking at the web address bar to check that the url begins with https://www.cc-interiors.net. Being in 'secure mode' means that all of your details are encrypted to help keep them secure. Encryption creates billions of code combinations to protect each transaction made, so your card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you are using one of the more recent browser versions, our site supports 128 bit encryption and therefore keeps your details as safe as possible at all times.

We only accept orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal information using an insecure connection. During payment, we also ask for your card billing address as an additional security check.

No credit or debit card details are stored once your order has been processed.

We recommend that you always close down your Internet browser when you have finished shopping online, especially if you use a shared PC. This will delete temporary Internet cookies from any sites that you may have visited.

If you have any further concerns about security, please email us or contact customer services on 0845 302 2981

2. About C&C Interiors Online: where your information goes and where it does not go

3. Your personal information - what it is used for

a. To enable us to provide you with marketing and customer services: If you have requested extra services we ask for your contact details, such as your e-mail or your home address.

b. To provide an improved service: There is more detailed information that we ask for and it is optional that you provide it. This information allows us to update and improve the contents of our website.

Certain groups of people may be sent further information about products and services, based on that analysis. You have a right not to receive this information - see more information in point 4 below.
e. Where we use other companies to assist in the processing of your order (e.g. packing and delivering of orders, processing credit/debit card transactions, fraud prevention) we may pass sufficient information to these companies to allow them to provide the service we have requested. The companies concerned are not permitted to use the information supplied for any other purpose.
