- Contact you about your purchase.
Our lawful basis is that this information is necessary to enter into or perform our contract with you.
Customer Service
We may use your information to respond to enquiries, deal with complaints, investigate faulty products and provide after-sales assistance.
This is necessary to fulfil our contract with you and is also in our legitimate interests as a business providing customer support.
Managing Accounts
If you create an Equisafety account, we use your information to operate the account, maintain your order history and provide the account features you request.
This may be necessary to perform our contract with you or in our legitimate interests in operating our website and services.
Product Reviews
If you submit a review, we may publish it on our website or use it in our marketing. We may display your first name or initials, but we will not publish sensitive contact information.
Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in helping customers make informed purchasing decisions and improving our products and services. Where necessary, we will ask for your consent.
Improving Our Website and Products
We may analyse how customers use our website, which products are viewed and how our services perform. This helps us improve our website, product range, marketing and customer experience.
We rely on our legitimate interests in understanding our customers and improving Equisafety. Where cookies or similar technologies require consent, we will obtain your consent before using them.

If you choose to receive marketing from us, we may contact you about Equisafety products, offers, promotions, competitions and news.
Depending on the circumstances, we rely on your consent or another lawful basis permitted under applicable electronic-marketing law.
You may unsubscribe at any time by:
- Selecting the unsubscribe link in a marketing email;
- Replying “STOP” when instructed in a text message;
- Updating your account preferences; or
- Contacting Equisafety directly.
Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent us from sending necessary messages about an existing order or customer-service matter.

Abandoned Shopping Baskets
Where permitted, we may remind you about products left in your online basket. You may opt out of these messages at any time.

We rely on our legal obligations and our legitimate interest in maintaining a safe and secure business.
Product Safety and Recalls
We may use your order and contact information to notify you of an important safety issue or product recall.
This may be necessary to comply with our legal obligations or for our legitimate interest in protecting customers.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We may process and retain information where required for accounting, taxation, legal claims, regulatory matters, law-enforcement requests or compliance with another legal obligation.

International Transfers
Some of our service providers may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where information is transferred internationally, we will ensure that a lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards are used. These may include UK adequacy regulations, approved contractual clauses or another safeguard permitted by data-protection law.
You may contact us for further information about the safeguards applying to an international transfer of your information.
Keeping Your Information Secure
Equisafety uses appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal information is restricted to employees, contractors and service providers who need it for legitimate business purposes.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request concerning your personal information. If somebody makes a request on your behalf, we may require evidence that they have your authority to act.
Although we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, taxation, warranty and reporting requirements.
Order and transaction records will normally be retained for up to six years after the relevant transaction or the end of our relationship with you, unless a longer period is legally required or needed in connection with a dispute.
Other retention periods will depend upon:
- The nature and sensitivity of the information;
- Why it was collected;
- Whether it is still required;
- Applicable legal obligations; and
- Whether it may be required to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
We may keep a limited record of an unsubscribe request to ensure that we continue to respect your marketing preferences.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under 12 to make purchases independently.
If you are under 12, please ask your parent or legal guardian to purchase on your behalf using their own information. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 12 without appropriate permission.
If we discover that personal information has been collected from a child inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Data-Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis being used, you may have the right to:

Your Right to Object
You have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.
You may also object where we process your information on the basis of legitimate interests. We will stop processing it unless we have compelling legitimate reasons to continue or the information is required in connection with a legal claim.
To exercise any of your rights, please contact Equisafety using the details provided in the “Who We Are” section.
We will normally respond within one month of receiving a valid request. We may ask you to confirm your identity before processing it. You will not normally be charged, although the law allows a reasonable fee or refusal in certain circumstances, such as manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
Further information about your rights is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office.
