Romford Roof Box Hire respects the privacy rights of visitors to its website, eBay outlet and social media channels, their customers and suppliers keeping all personal data secure.
This privacy policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you and your rights under Data Protection Law. Rest assured we will not sell your data to anyone.
Customer Data
When you place an order we collect information about you that may include your name, billing and delivery addresses, phone number and email address. We do not receive your payment card details for online orders or when using the payment terminal in store. The payment details taken for telephone orders are entered directly into the payment terminal rather than being written down. If however any data is taken to facilitate the transaction, i.e. for a payment referral then it is immediately destroyed thereafter using a GDPR compliant shredder.
Data Processing
The law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons why a company may collect and process your personal data, including:
We explain below the purpose of the processing and which of the reasons we rely on to do so. If we are relying on contractual obligations, we will not be able to fulfil the contract if you do not provide the data we require. If we are relying on consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by email at mike@romfordroofboxhire.com
How and why we use the information about you

When you place an order we use your personal data to process your order. We need this information to fulfil our contractual obligations to you.

After an order is complete we may use your information to contact you to request a review on the products and services you have received. For this we use TrustPilot. This is purely to ensure we are providing the best products and services with the aim of continuous improvement.

Our use of Cookies
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.
These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:
– enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
– recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested
– measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast
– analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with our services so we can make them better
You can manage these small files yourself and learn more about them from the article Internet browser cookies – what they are and how to manage them.
