General
SCV Distribution is fully committed to respecting your privacy and protecting any information you provide. We only use the information you provide to process orders you may place on the SCV Distribution website, notify you when important changes are made to our service, and occasionally tell you about relevant products or services we are offering in line with our direct marketing rules. We will not pass your details to third parties for marketing or research purposes.
Our terms can be accessed on this page at all times and a link to these details will be emailed to you when you have placed an order. Anyone is permitted to save a copy of these terms to their computer or device for reading at a later date. You have the right to access your personal data and the right to correct, block and delete it at any time.
1. What Information We Collect from You
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and personalised experience while using our website. This allows us to provide services and features to meet and exceed your needs and to customise our service to make your experience easier and quicker.
To fully use our website and make purchases, you will need to register as a customer, where you will be required to provide us with your contact information and some other information required to process any orders you place with us. We automatically track certain information about you based upon your behaviour on our site. We use this information to do internal research on the interests and behaviour of our users to better understand and serve them.
We use a web analytics tool to analyse site usage, how our users arrive at our site, what they do on the site, what browser they are using and on what operating system etc. However, this analytics data, collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site, is not tied to personally identifiable information.
When you access our Websites via any means or make a purchase through the Website, we may collect, store and use certain of your personal information in line with this policy. To register or make a purchase on the Websites, we ask for your:
- name
- email address
- postal address
- phone contact details
When you make a purchase, our payment service providers will also collect and process your credit card or other payment details. If you contact us, we may also keep a record of that correspondence.
We may also collect data relating to your visits to the Websites that cannot identify you but records your use of our Websites including, for example, details of how long you have used the Website and Content for.
2. Where, How and for How Long we store your Personal Data
The information that we collect from you (including any Personal Data) may be transferred to, and stored on, various destinations. This will not include destinations outside the European Economic Area (EEA). By providing us with your information (including Personal Data), you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not always completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your information before transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
We only use information you provide to process orders you may place at a SCV Distribution website. We will keep these information as long as it is necessary under your warranty agreement, under EU and national consumer rights regulation or until relevant storage requirements from financial and tax authorities expire. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
If you gave us your consent to inform you about our product launches or promotional events, we will store your details until you ask us to opt out from our direct marketing or until you exercise your right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your Personal Data in any other form.
3. How we Use the Information that we Collect from You
We use the information collected from you to process your order. By submitting an order, your personal details will be shared with the sales, customer service and warehouse fulfilment teams at SCV Distribution. We also need to share your data with the relevant third-party courier companies to deliver the order to your chosen delivery address.
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only:
- where we have your consent to do so,
- where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or
- where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights.
In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you. If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as the possible consequences if you do not provide your information). Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

When you sign up for the SCV Distribution Newsletter you have the opportunity to sign up for event news and product launch information by email. By ticking the relevant topic boxes, you give us your consent to send to your registered email address our regular newsletter.
