This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase from legacysealants.co.uk.

For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, the data controller is PJ Mastics Ltd, registered in England and Wales under company number 07224303.
2. PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
We collect various categories of personal information depending on your interaction with our services. This includes identity data such as names, contact details including billing and shipping addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers. We also process financial information required for transaction fulfilment, though credit card details are processed via secure, third-party encrypted gateways. Technical data, including IP addresses, browser types, and usage information regarding your interaction with the website, is collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies hosted by our service provider, Shopify Inc.
3. PROCEDURAL USE OF DATA
The company processes personal information to perform our contract with you, specifically to process payments, fulfil orders, and arrange for shipping. We also use data to maintain a secure shopping environment, detect fraudulent activity, and comply with legal obligations such as tax and accounting requirements under UK law. Marketing communications are only issued where express consent has been provided, and such consent may be withdrawn at any time. We process technical data to improve the functionality of our services and to provide a more personalised user experience.
4. DISCLOSURE AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
In the course of business operations, we disclose personal information to third-party service providers including IT management, payment processors, and delivery couriers. As our store is powered by Shopify, your data may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside of the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. In such cases, we rely on recognised legal transfer mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data remains protected. We do not sell your personal information to third parties for independent commercial gain or marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
5. YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access, rectify, or request the erasure of your personal data. You may also object to or restrict certain processing activities, such as direct marketing. To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@legacysealants.co.uk. We reserve the right to verify your identity before responding to such requests. You also maintain the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your personal data has been handled in a manner that does not comply with applicable regulations.
6. DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION
We implement industry-standard administrative and technical security measures intended to safeguard personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration. However, it must be acknowledged that no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed as entirely impenetrable. We retain personal information only for the duration necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by statutory retention periods for tax, accounting, and legal compliance.
