How long we retain your data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

  • If we need to share details about yourself and/or your company in order to fulfil your order. 

What rights you have over your data

  • Right to Rectification – the right to request the controller rectify inaccurate personal data.

  • Right to be Forgotten – the right to have the controller erase personal data without undue delay. Contingent on the occurrence of one of the following:

  • The Data Controller (United Aluminium Limited) has no overriding grounds for continuing processing against the objectification; 
  • Processing was unlawful; 
  • Erasure is necessary with EU or national law. 
  • Right to Restrict Processing – the right to have the controller restrict processing if: 
  • The accuracy of the data is contested;
