PRIVACY


Northern Industrial Electronics Limited (known as Northern Industrial) is committed to maintaining customer privacy and maintaining the security of any personal data which we receive from you.

We are also committed to responsible data management and subscribe to the principles of data protection legislation in the United Kingdom. Please contact us at [email protected] if you wish to have your personal information removed from a particular mailing list or database at any time.

Visitors to our Website who purchase our products will be asked to enter basic personal information. This information is stored securely on our database and is not made available to third parties, beyond the essential requirement for credit card validation during purchase. The information is used solely for our billing, payment and sales analysis purposes, and notifying customers and partners of future updates to our products. We offer a range of email newsletters which we send only to those customers who have opted in to our mailing list or who have purchased Goods from us. Customers may opt out from receiving a newsletter by either clicking on the link provided in the newsletter or by changing their contact details via our website.

We do not receive or store any credit card information. This information is taken and processed on our behalf by the secure servers of PayPal. PayPal may need to transfer some information outside the EU area for the purposes of credit card validation and authentication. Telephone credit card transactions may be completed either by PayPal or Streamline. In the latter case, credit card details are destroyed as soon as the transaction has been processed.
