PRIVACY POLICY
J E Beale PLC is committed to protecting the personal information that we
ask you to supply to us. We will use the information we collect to process
orders and to provide a better shopping experience.
We may use your personal information to inform you about the latest changes to the site and products or services that you may find of interest but if you prefer not to receive this you can tell us by sending an e-mail message to customerservices@beales.co.uk or by visiting the Contact Us page and using the 'Make an Enquiry' form.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
J E Beale PLC does not currently supply personal information to third
parties unless required to do so as part of our fraud prevention policies or
our required compliance with the selling of age restricted products.
J E Beale PLC may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.
J E Beale PLC occasionally employs third parties that collect personal information on J E Beale PLC's behalf. In such cases, such third parties will be instructed by J E Beale PLC to comply with the J E Beale PLC Privacy Policy as set forth herein.
It is, on occasion, necessary for Beales to perform standard identity checks with a Credit Reference Agency/Fraud Prevention Agency, to make sure that your card isn’t being used without your consent, or to confirm you age for the purchase of age restricted items such as knives.
The Credit Reference Agency may keep a record of the information; that is, a footprint may be left on the persons credit file. The footprint will indicate that a search has been undertaken for purposes other than a credit application and that the search has no impact on the person’s credit rating.
J E Beale PLC does not have access to any sensitive information or retain customer details from any checks performed, or pass results to any third parties.
By submitting an order with Beales.co.uk you consent to any such Credit Reference or Age Verification Checks J E Beale PLC deems necessary to safeguard against fraud and the selling of age restricted items to minors.
If for any reason you are concerned that the personal information maintained
by J E Beale PLC is not correct, or it changes or if you no longer desire our
service we will correct, update or remove the data you have provided. This can
usually be done by e-mailing us at customerservices@beales.co.uk
or contacting our Customer Services team on 01202 405200
