Why does New England Home Interiors require my personal data?
We capture data for a number of reasons:
Mainly, we require your personal details to fulfil an order, request or customer service issue that you’ve requested. This data is essential to us fulfilling your requirement and is collected as part of our on-going business activities. For example, we collect your address from you during checkout, to ensure we’re able to deliver goods to your requested location.
We store some personal details in order to communicate with you relating to our business activities. This may be informing you of our current product range, sales and offers on our product range. We only do this when you have actively consented for us to add you to our database.
We store your details for as long as is reasonably needed to complete the actions described above. For example, if you have purchased a product from us with a 10 year guarantee, we’ll store your personal details for this period of time, so we can assist you during the guarantee period with any guarantee claims.
