Privacy Policy

We are not in the business of selling, sharing or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. Here at Countryside Group Ltd we value your privacy. In this Privacy Policy, we explain how we handle the data that we collect from our website, or when someone subscribes to our newsletter. We’re committed to keeping your data secure. 

 

What is personal information?

​

When we talk about personal information we mean any information you can use to identify a person, like their name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and financial details. Any reference to “information” or “data” in this policy is a reference to personal information about a living individual.

​

How we use your personal information:

​

When you choose to submit an enquiry form, we collect your personal information. We use that information to tell you about things you've registered an interest in and to contact you if we need you to provide additional information. Submitting a contact form does not opt you in to our mailing list.

When you subscribe to our mailing list, we will send you emails about our services, resources and other updates.

​

Countryside Group Ltdwill ensure that personal information is kept accurate and up to date as far as is reasonably possible. However, we rely on our clients to ensure that some of the information we hold about them is accurate. We encourage clients to inform us of any changes to their information.

Countryside Group collects and uses your personal information to provide you with creative marketing services. Your personal information may be shared with external authorities and agencies involved in delivering services on our behalf.

​

Consent:

​

When you provide us with personal information, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

​

If after you opt-in, you change your mind at anytime, by contacting us at info@countrysidegroup.co.uk or writing to us at: Countryside Group Ltd, 4 Unit 3-4, Kingfisher Business Centre. Henwood Industrial Estate, Ashford, Kent, TN24 8DG.
