Information that we gather and your rights
1. The right to be informed
You have the right to know what we do with your data and why, how you can withdraw your consent for
us to do that, and exactly who we are. This policy applies to Haus Concrete Surfaces. The company
business address is: 3 Meden Court, Meden Road, Boughton, Nottingham, NG22 9YU.
There are are a number of lawful reasons that we may hold information about an individual. The
predominant two reasons that we do this are:
(a) To transact our business, and hold sufficient data for us to be able to process orders and
deliver goods on those orders.
(b) To send, with consent, promotional marketing emails regarding products and services that we
think may be of interest to you. We gather consent in a number of ways including asking the question
over the phone when taking orders in that way, and seeking affirmative confirmation of your consent
on our web site when you place an online order or make contact with us.
We retain this information for as long as one of those two lawful reasons continues to be applicable.
If we do not have your permission to send emails then we remove your details from our subscribed
databases.
If at any time you wish to withdraw your consent or make a complaint about our handling of
personal data then you can email info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address given
above, and we will remove that consent, or contact you regarding your complaint within one month,
but normally sooner.
2. The right of access
If you wish to know what data we store about you, in order to check that it is accurate or being used
lawfully, then you may email info@hausconcretesurfaces.com, or write to us at the address given
above, and we will provide you with any data that we hold about you in the same format in which you
made the request.
We will do this within one month, unless the request is complex, or we have too many
requests to deal with, in which case we will inform you within one month that we may need an
extension of time.
3. The right to rectification
If you believe the information we hold about you to be inaccurate then you may email us on
info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address above to let us know.
We will correct the information we store, and inform any third parties that we may have provided that
information to requesting them to rectify the information they hold too.
We will do this within one month of the request, unless the request is complex, or we have too many
requests to deal with, in which case we will inform you within one month that we may need an
extension of time.
4. The right to erasure
You may request that we erase the information that we hold about you (also known as the right to be
forgotten). You may request this if you believe that we no longer need the information for which it
was originally lawfully collected, and that you have withdrawn or never gave your consent for us to
use the data for marketing purposes, or you feel that it was unlawfully processed.
Please contact us with your request on info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address
above to let us know.
We will consider these requests and take appropriate action within one month of the request, unless
the request is complex, or we have too many requests to deal with, in which case we will inform you
within one month that we may need an extension of time.
5. The right to restrict processing
You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information if you think it is inaccurate,
you object to the processing, or you wish us to retain the information past the point at which we
would normally remove it as you wish to establish or defend a legal claim.
Please contact us with your request on info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address
above to let us know.
We will consider these requests and take appropriate action within one month of the request
(including where appropriate informing any third parties of this restriction), unless the request is
complex, or we have too many requests to deal with, in which case we will inform you within one
month that we may need an extension of time.
6. The right to data portability
You may request a copy of the data that we hold about you in a machine-readable format (for example
an Excel spreadsheet or text file) for the purposes or re-using that data for any reason. Examples
include using your data to understand your spending habits, or for use on price comparison
websites.
Please contact us with your request on info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address
above to let us know.
We will provide this free of charge within one month, unless the request is complex, or we have too
many requests to deal with, in which case we will inform you within one month that we may need an
extension of time.
7. The right to object
If you object to our handling of your data in the areas of direct marketing, processing orders, or
for any other reason then you may inform us of your objection by emailing us on
info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address above to let us know.
If we agree with your written objection, and whilst we consider it, that we have no legal right to
use the data in the way to which you are objecting, then we will restrict the processing of that
data free of charge and within one month, unless the request is complex, or we have too many
requests to deal with, in which case we will inform you within one month that we may need an
extension of time.
You will also be given the option to object to us sending you marketing information at the point at
which you place an order with us or give us your personal information, and this is addressed in
section 1. The right to be informed.
8. Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling
We may make automated decisions (via a computer algorithm) on certain aspects of the marketing
materials that we send to you. We do not make any other automated decisions on your information.
We do not make any decision on what the GDPR regulations suggest is special categories of personal
information; nor make any decisions based on ethnicity, race, sex, gender or disability. Our
automated decision making is based purely on your geographical location (address) and the products
that you have bought from us.
If you object to the automated data processing that we perform on your personal information, then you
may ask us not to do this. Since this decision making is integral to how we send marketing
materials, then we will simply remove any marketing consent that you have given to us, which will
result in your data not being processed in this way.
Please contact us with your request on info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address
above to let us know.
We will do this free of charge within one month, unless the request is complex, or we have too many
requests to deal with, in which case we will inform you within one month that we may need an
extension of time.
Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access
or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Third party organisations that we share data with
In the interests of transparency, we are guiding you here to the third party organisations that we
regularly share personal information with. In every case we only do this if there is a lawful reason
do so so, which is always with regard to processing orders and required data sharing to do that, and
for the purpose of sending marketing materials to you if you have given consent. These organisations
each have their own privacy policy, over which we have no control, and we have reviewed those
statements to ensure that we believe they comply with the current data protection regulations. You
should read these company’s statements to ensure you are happy with them if you believe we may have
shared your information with them. You may request to know if we have done that by emailing us on
info@hausconcretesurfaces.com or write to us at the address above.
- Mailchimp (www.mailchimp.com) We share and store data information with Mailchimp for the purpose
of managing, cleansing, storing and sending emails to our subscribed databases.
- Stripe (www.stripe.com) & World Pay (www.worldpay.com) We share personal information with Stripe
& Worldpay for the purpose of taking payment for online and over the phone purchases.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file, which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you
agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a
particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web
application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering
information about your preferences.
Currently we operate an ‘implied consent’ policy which means that we assume you are happy with our
use of cookies. If you are not happy, then you should either not use this site, or you should delete
our cookies once you have visited the site, or you should browse the site using your browser’s
anonymous usage setting (called “Incognito” in Chrome, “InPrivate” for Internet Explorer, “Private
Browsing” in Firefox and Safari etc.)
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about
webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this
information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you
find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any
information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you
can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from
taking full advantage of the website.
If you don’t want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when
cookies are sent to it or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have
already been set.
If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies, which are set on your device, then you can do
this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how.
Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information

Google Analytics – we use this to understand how the Haus site is being used in order to improve the
user experience. Your user data is anonymous. You can find out more about Google’s position on
privacy as regards its analytics service at

Other information we collect
Social buttons. On many of the pages of the Haus site you will see ‘social buttons’. These enable
users to share or bookmark the web pages. There are buttons for: Twitter, Instagram, Google +,
Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the
relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Haus. You
should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing
all around the internet, including the Haus site. So if you click on any of these buttons, these
sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will
be registering the fact that you are visiting Haus, and the specific pages you are on, even if you
don’t click on the button if you are logged into their services, like Google and Facebook. You
should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your
information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
External web services. We use a number of external web services on the Haus site, mostly to display
content within our web pages. For example, to display slideshows we sometimes use SlideShare; to
show videos we use YouTube and Vimeo. This is not an exhaustive or complete list of the services we
use, or might use in the future, when embedding content, but these are the most common. As with the
social buttons we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on
your usage of this embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services then they
will not know who you are but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views,
plays, loads etc.
Email tracking. Some emails that we send you have no tracking in at all, for example personal
correspondence or emails with invoices attached. Other emails we send we such as via mailchimp put
in tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site and we can track, at
an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on the email. We rarely use the latter
information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails
to try and improve them. Sometimes we do use the personal information e.g. to re-email people who
didn’t click the first time. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked then
you should unsubscribe from the Haus newsletter and mails.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links
to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.
