Customers

If you’re a customer of GS UK Ltd, to allow us to facilitate your order and future orders, we will need to store and process some of your personal information. This includes your name, addresses, postcodes and your contact details such as your telephone number or email address. We may require this information to contact you, for example if your order has been delayed, however, we will not use your details for any other purposes unless you have given us your express permission to do so. 

From time to time we like to inform our customers of up-coming road show events, exhibitions we will be at, new products, special offers and competitions. Under the new General Data  Protection Regulation (GDPR) we aren’t allowed to do so without your permission. When setting up your account we will ask you if you are happy for us to contact you in these circumstances.

 We promise never to share your information with other organisations (other than for the purposes of facilitating your order) and we also promise not to contact you too often!
