How We Will Communicate With You

Under the new data protection law starting in May 2018 we have a number of lawful reasons that we can use (or 'process') your personal information. One of the lawful reasons is called 'legitimate interests'.

In all cases, we balance our legitimate interests against your rights as an individual and make sure we only use personal information in a way or for a purpose that you would reasonably expect in accordance with this Policy and that does not intrude on your privacy or previously expressed marketing preferences.

We require your explicit consent to contact you with marketing or sales communications. This means we have your permission to contact you by your chosen channels. We want to ensure you receive the level of information about Smart Business Supplies that is right for you.

Email/text marketing: If you actively provide your consent to us along with your email address and/or mobile phone number we may contact you for sales or purchasing communications or marketing purposes by email or text message.

Post/Telephone: If you have provided us with your postal address or telephone number we may communicate with you about our work, unless you have told us you would prefer not to receive such information. We will only make telephone calls to you for legitimate interests.

If you do not want to receive some or all of these marketing communications, you can let us know how you would like to contact you (or not) by calling 01372 377 941 or emailing sales@smartbusinesssupplies.co.uk. You can withdraw or amend your consent at any time, and also manage your preferences by visiting (link to web form).

It is important that you let us know what works for you. We need your consent to contact you and how you want us to do so, so that we can continue offering our existing and prospective customers our services.  Our ‘Stay Connected’ page is a clear and easy way for you to opt-in or opt-out of our communications.
