At The Tool Connection Ltd we take your privacy seriously and pride ourselves in our transparency.

This privacy notice tells you what to expect us to do with your personal information when you make contact with us or do business with us.

What information do we receive?

Most of the personal information we receive is supplied directly to us for one of the following reasons:

1. You trade with us
2. You have made an enquiry to us
3. You have applied for a job with us or work for us

This information is only collected if you choose to provide it to us, either in the normal course of business or as part of an application or job with us. The following are the categories of personal information we could collect from you:

1. Your full name, title and gender
2. Your contact details including address, telephone numbers and email addresses
3. Employment and personal and educational details you provide to us as part of any application for employment, such as your employee ID, including social security number, other governmental identity number, and if needed, driver’s license number and/or passport number, your date of birth, place of birth, nationality (and where applicable dual or former nationality) and eligibility (including evidence) to work in the relevant country;

Keeping personal data safe

At The Tool Connection Ltd we are committed to keeping all personal data we store on our internal servers safe from being accessed, shared, destroyed or otherwise compromised by unauthorised parties.

We regularly review our security to ensure all reasonable precautions are taken to ensure your data is stored safely and to make sure we keep up with the constantly changing landscape of cyber-theft.

Using personal information

As part of our day to day business we may use your personal data to:

1. Send you communications
2. Send you offer leaflets and other marketing communications related to our business

We will not provide your personal information to any third parties for any other purpose. You can elect to no longer receive communications from us at any time.

Your data protection rights

You have the right to review and access your personal data information held by us. You also have the right to correct, block of delete your personal data, or to ‘port’ your data to another organisation.

You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. This is called making a “subject access request”. You can make a subject access request to us at any time and this will be handled by our Data Champion.

When making a subject access request, please include the following information:

1. Your name and contact details
2. Details or relevant dates which will help us identify what you want

The information requested will be supplied following supply of appropriate evidence of your identity.

There are exceptions to these rights. For example, access to personal information may be denied in some circumstances if making the information available would reveal personal information about another person or if we are legally prevented from disclosing such information. In addition, we may be able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your data.
