Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
Allspeeds Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect and use the information that we collect from you as one of our customers or through your use of this website. It makes you aware of how and why your personal information will be used, namely for the purposes of the performance of our contract with you as our customer, and how long it will usually be retained for. It provides you with certain information that must be provided under the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (GDPR).
This policy primarily covers how we use information relating to our customers, prospects, website visitors and people who interact with or do business with us (such as our suppliers). In these cases, we will be the “data controller” for the purposes of data protection law.
It is important that you read this policy, together with any other privacy notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information.
Data Protection Principles
There are six overarching principles of the GDPR which we will ensure compliance with when processing your personal data:
- Using the data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
- Collecting the data only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
- The data is relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
- The data is accurate and kept up to date.
- The data is kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.
- The data is kept securely.
What data is collected?
If you purchase services from us, communicate with us, or do business with us, this will result in us collecting personal data about you. We will collect, store, and use the following types of personal information about you:
- Contact details such as the name, address, email, fax and telephone number of business contacts.
- Bank and transaction details such as details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us.
- Information about our service to you.
- Purchases or orders made by you, your preferences and any feedback you give us.
- Information about how you use our website, products and services.
- CCTV footage in the event you appear on CCTV installed at our premises.
We do not normally collect “special categories” of sensitive personal data from our customers, suppliers or users of our website. In the event you provide us with any special category data, we will take extra care to ensure your rights are protected.
How we will use information about you:
We will use the personal information we collect about you to:
- To register you as a customer.
- To perform our contract or service to you.

- To administer and protect the business and this website.
- To make suggestions or recommendations to you about similar goods or services that may be of interest to you.
Why do we need this information?
We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you.
- Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal information other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to such marketing at any time.
If you fail to provide personal information:
If you fail to provide certain information when requested either by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
Automated decision-making:
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.

We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
