Sure Snap Fire Collars (“Sure Snap”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this website or contact us, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it.

We are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. We handle your information in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What information we collect

We only collect the information we need to answer your enquiries and run this website.

Information you give us. When you complete our contact form or email us, we collect the details you provide. This is usually your name, email address, and the content of your message. If you include other details, such as a phone number, company name, or project information, we collect those too.

Information we collect automatically. Like most websites, our web server records limited technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This is held in standard server logs and is used to keep the site secure and working correctly.

Cookies. This website uses only essential cookies that are needed for the site to function. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. See the Cookies section below.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. This website uses only essential cookies, for example to support core WordPress functionality. These cookies are necessary for the site to work and do not track you across other websites.

We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics service, and we do not run advertising or social media tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.

Who we share your information with

We do not sell your personal information or share it for marketing. We share it only where necessary to respond to you and run our business:

  • Within our group. Enquiries may be handled by Selkent Fastenings Ltd (our UK distributor) and, where a technical or manufacturing question requires it, by Snap Fire Systems Pty Ltd (the manufacturer) or Devar International Holdings Pty Ltd. This is so the right person can answer you.
  • Service providers. We use trusted providers to host this website, deliver email, and provide IT services. They process information on our instructions and are bound to keep it secure.
  • Legal reasons. We may disclose information where we are required to by law, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

International transfers

Some of the companies in our group and some of our service providers are based outside the UK, including in Australia. This means your information may be transferred to, and processed in, a country outside the UK. Where we transfer personal information outside the UK, we make sure it is protected by an appropriate safeguard recognised under UK data protection law, such as UK adequacy regulations or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement. You can ask us for more detail about the safeguards we use.

How long we keep your information

We keep your information only for as long as we need it, which is normally for as long as it takes to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you contact us again or a dispute arises. We keep it longer only where we have to meet a legal obligation. When we no longer need your information, we delete it securely. Server logs are kept for a short period and then deleted or overwritten in the normal course of running the site.

  • Be informed about how we use your information (this policy).
  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Rectification of information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Erasure of your information in certain circumstances.

  • Object to us using your information where we rely on legitimate interests.
