WHY IS YOUR DATA COLLECTED?

Personal data is only obtained when voluntarily submitted, such as when visitors register an online account, subscribe to our newsletter, apply to join our Loyalty Scheme, make an order, purchase products or request services. Vee Gee Bee will use such personal information only for the purposes for which it is provided namely:

– For the purpose of using our website/online shop and hence registering your own account.
– For the purpose of benefiting from our loyalty scheme.
– For the purpose of our newsletter ie in order to receive emails with news on products, offers, events and courses.
– For the purpose of providing a service relating to any purchase you made from our company in store or online.
– For the purpose of ordering something specifically for you.
– For the purpose of replacing or repairing a product bought from our company.
– For the purpose of attending a course or event organised by us.

In the case of our Loyalty Scheme, your data is registered in your online account either by yourself on our website or when you fill up our manual form for us to create the account for you. In both instances you must first give us your consent.

WHO WILL RECEIVE YOUR DATA AND WHAT FOR?

Your data, as provided by yourself, will be received and accessed by our company’s officers and employees involved in one of the purposes referred to above. Said persons are bound by confidentiality obligations to our company.
