At Elcometer we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

Our privacy policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, the control you have over it and how we protect it. This privacy notice applies to personal information we collect through our Elcometer websites, or which is provided by you in person (for example when you visit our offices, exhibition stands or events).

It is important you read this privacy notice, together with any terms and conditions we may provide or make available to you from time to time. This privacy notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.

By sharing your personal information with us, or by continuing to use our websites, you confirm that you have read and understood the terms of this privacy policy. We take responsibility for the personal information we collect about you, and we aim to be transparent about how we handle it, and give you control over it.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about any aspect of this privacy policy, how we handle your personal information, or would like to make a complaint, please contact our Privacy Team by email at registration@elcometer.com or in writing at C/O The Privacy Team, Elcometer Limited, Edge Lane, Manchester M43 6BU.

We may change our Privacy Policy to comply with any laws we are subject to from time to time or otherwise to reflect changes in the manner in which we process personal information. Any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our Privacy Policy. It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.

Elcometer is a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of blasting equipment and inspection equipment to the coatings, concrete and metal detection industry.

Elcometer is made up of different legal entities, details of which can be found here. This privacy policy is issued on behalf of these entities so when we mention "Elcometer", "us", "we" or "our", we are referring to these companies, and as applicable, the relevant company responsible for processing your information. We will let you know which entity is the controller of your personal information either in our website terms, or when you purchase a product or service from us. If you are attending our offices, the controller of your personal information will be the company operating out of such offices.Where you attend an event, it will be the company that is exhibiting at such event or that is responsible for your country.

Our main reason for collecting your personal information is to provide the products or services you have requested from us and to improve the services, products and experiences that you expect from us.

Personal information is defined slightly differently across the world. To guarantee your privacy and the protection of your information, we define it as any information that could be used to identify you or another living individual.

Through your interactions with us, you may share with us or we may collect the following personal information:
  • Identity - includes full name and title, user name or other similar identifiers, gender;
  • Contact Data - includes your address, country of residence, E-mail address, telephone number, fax number;
  • Financial Data - Bank details and payment card details;
  • Employment Data - includes certificates, qualifications and employment history;
  • Transaction Data - includes your order history, the products you buy and anything else related to your account or orders;
  • Technical Data - includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type, time zone, data and time of interaction, browser plug-in types, operating systems, platform and other technology on the devices you use to access the website or software application(s);
  • Profile Data - includes your user name, User_ID, User_Profile, password, feedback, survey responses;
  • Usage Data - includes information about how and when you use our products, services, website or software application(s);
  • Marketing Data - includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.
In some circumstances, we will need that information to be able to provide you with a product or service that you have asked for; for example, we need your payment information when you buy a product, and your address to deliver it to you. Where we need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide the information requested, we may not be able to perform the contract and in which case we may have to cancel the product or services you have with us, but we will notify you of this at the relevant time.

If you share details of other people with us (for example, if you have bought an Elcometer product for that other person or if you register another person for an Elcometer application), then you will need to check with that person that they are happy for you to share their personal information with us, and for us to use it in accordance with this privacy policy.

We also collect, use and share anonymous data and aggregated data such as statistical data or demographic data for any purpose. Although such data may be derived from your personal information, it is not considered personal information as it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.

We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race, ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political views, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic or biometric data).

We use different methods to collect personal information from and about you, including through:

Automated technologies - when you interact with our website, send us an email or use our application(s), we may automatically collect your technical data, usage data, the internet address of the website from which you link through to our website and information on how you use our websites or application(s). We use this information so that we can see how well our websites and software application(s) are working, how they are used and what users look at most and to prevent automated spam. We track our emails to review how you engage with them; including whether they are delivered to you, whether you open them, whether you choose to learn more about what's happening at Elcometer (for example, by clicking on a link in our e-mail).

Analytics providers - we use Google Analytics on our site for anonymous reporting of site usage. We use the collected information to compile reports to analyse and further improve our site. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed.

We only collect information about you that you have made publicly available on such sites (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn).

  • where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
  • 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;
  • where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation;
  • to provide and improve the service, products and experiences that you expect from us.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal information other than in relation to sending electronic marketing communications to you or where we are required to transfer your personal information outside of the EEA in order to deal with your enquiry or request.

We would like to keep you posted, whether it’s on our latest product announcements, upcoming events or opportunities to test new Elcometer products.

We do this in various ways, including e-mail, post, via social media platforms and by phone, but only if you are happy for us to do so.

Ultimately, we want to make sure you’re happy with the communications you receive from us.

We therefore promise to:

  • Only send you marketing communications when you have told us it is ok to do so;
  • Only allow another Elcometer Group company or Approved Distributor in your country to send you marketing communications if you have told us it is ok to do so;
  • Never pass your personal information to anyone outside the Elcometer Group or our Approved Distributor network for them to use for their own marketing purposes; and
  • Give you the option to stop receiving support or marketing communications at any time.
You can change the way that we contact you in the following ways:
Opt-In/Start Contacting Me
If you hadn’t previously asked us to send you marketing communications, you can ask us to start contacting you (sometimes called an "opt-in") by:
  • Contacting Elcometer stating that you would like to receive communications from us;
  • If you have an online trading account, logging into your account and changing your preferences.
  • Completing and returning our online Contact Us Form.
Opt-Out/Stop Contacting Me
If you want to stop receiving marketing or support communications from us (sometimes called "opting out"), you can do so at any time by:

  • Using the unsubscribe option included in all our e-mail marketing and support communications;
  • If you have an online trading account, logging into your account and changing your preferences.
  • Emailing our privacy team at registration@elcometer.com

Most importantly, we never sell your personal information to anyone and only share it as outlined in this privacy policy or when you ask us to. In addition to the specific third parties set out below, we may share your personal information with third parties whom we may sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or assets to. If any change happens to the Elcometer Group, the new owners or entities may use your personal information in the same way as other members of the Elcometer Group.

Most of Elcometer's processes, procedures and systems are shared across the Elcometer Group, which means that we may need to share your personal information between us. We make sure that access to your personal information is limited to those of our staff who need it, and that all staff understand how and why we protect your personal information.

We share your personal information with certain third party service providers. They only have access to the personal information they need to perform those services. They are required to keep your personal information confidential and may not use it other than as we ask them to and always in accordance with this privacy policy. Those third party service providers fall into the following categories:
  • Approved Distributors, who help us to sell our products in certain countries;
  • Those helping us to deliver products to you;
  • Third parties that help us with mailing services, processing product purchases, financial services, IT technologies (e.g. data storage), security services and insurance claims;
  • Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers;
  • HM Revenue and Customer regulators and other authorities.

Please note: If you purchase a product from us, your card information is not held by us, it is collected by our third party payment processors, who specialise in the secure electronic capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions.

Personal data in the UK and European Union is protected by data protection laws but other countries do not necessarily protect your personal data in the same way.

We are a global group with companies and offices operating throughout the world, we also work with a global network of Approved Distributors so that we can provide dedicated support in your own country therefore your personal information may be transferred, stored and processed outside of the UK and/or the European Economic Area (EEA) (as applicable), however we will only do this with your explicit consent. When you submit your personal information to us, you will be asked whether you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. If you do not wish for your personal information to be treated in this manner, please do not tick the “I agree” box and do not proceed with your query. If you proceed with your query, then an automatic communication will be sent to the relevant member of the Elcometer Group or Approved Distributor (as applicable) who will be responsible for dealing with your query.

Whilst we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely, we do not guarantee that the countries your information may need to be transferred to, treat personal information with the same level of protection as is required by companies operating within UK or the EEA. You should also note that if you do not wish for your personal information to be transferred to a third country (including the UK where you are based in the EEA) or a third party then we may not be able to deal with your query.

A member of the Elcometer Group or an Elcometer Distributor will use your personal information to further your enquiry, provide you with information, products and services connected with your enquiry, and carry out any obligations arising from any contract entered into between you and a member of the Elcometer Group or an Approved Distributor.

If you would like further information about the global handling of your personal information, please contact us at registration@elcometer.com.

We will share your personal information if we are required to do so by law, including in response to a legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or to comply with other national, state, provincial or local laws. If you would like more information on how we share your personal information, please email our Privacy Team at registration@elcometer.com.

We provide links to other websites such as our Approved Distributors which are not operated and controlled by Elcometer. We have no control over and are not responsible for the content of those sites or how the third parties responsible for them collect and use your personal information. We do not endorse or make any representations about third party websites.

Third party websites usually have their own privacy policies explaining how they use and share your personal information. You should carefully review those privacy policies before you use these websites to make sure that you are happy with how your personal information is being collected and shared.

We only keep your personal information for as long as we need to, to be able to use it for the reasons given in this privacy policy, and for as long as we are required to keep it by law. The actual period for which we store your personal information will vary depending on the type of personal information and how it is used. For example, when you buy a product from us, we will store information about you and your purchase for at least the term of your warranty or guarantee.

You have the right to access, update, amend or delete personal information that we hold about you; you can do that in relation to some of your personal information if you have an online account. If you would like to change the way that we contact you, see the section above titled 'How can you change the way that we contact you about our products, services and support?'.
