Privacy Policy

GER Distribution ("we", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law. We are the data controller for the personal data you provide to us.

We may collect and process the following data about you:

• Information you provide when you create an account, place an order, request a quote, or contact us (such as your name, company, billing and delivery address, email address and phone number).
• Transaction details of orders you place with us.
• Technical data such as your IP address, browser type and details of your visits to our website.

We do not store full card details — payments are processed securely by our payment provider.

We use strictly necessary cookies to make the site work (for example your basket, sign-in and checkout) and, with your consent, analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. When you first visit we ask for your choice, and you can change it at any time via the Cookie settings link in the footer. For full details of every cookie we use, see our Cookie Policy.

We use your information to:

• Process and fulfil your orders and provide customer support.
• Manage your account and, where you have credit terms, your account balance.
• Send you service messages relating to your orders.
• Send you marketing about similar products where you have not opted out (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• Improve our website and services.

We rely on the lawful bases of contract, legitimate interests and, where required, consent.

We share your information only with service providers who help us run our business (such as payment processors, delivery carriers and our accounting software), and where required by law. We do not sell your personal data.

We hold your data securely and retain it only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out above, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. While we take appropriate measures to protect your data, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed completely secure.

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.

For any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at [email protected] or 01708 868 932.
