Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy

This policy covers all users who register to use the PaperMart website. It is not necessary to register in order to gain access to the searching facilities of the site, but we may restrict access to certain areas as referred to in Principle 2 below. Access to Paper-mart.co.uk is free of charge to all users. 
Paper-mart.co.uk is operated by PaperMart. We are committed to protecting your privacy when you are using our online services. To protect your privacy, we apply five principles which you can read about below.

Principle 1 - Notice

During our registration process, we ask for personal information which both identifies you and enables us to communicate with you.  We also invite you to tell us your interests so that we can make our communications relevant and interesting for you.

To help us prevent fraud, please be aware that we may make searches about you at credit reference agencies for the purpose of verifying your identity. These agencies will supply us with information, including information from the Electoral Register. The fact that we have requested an identity check is recorded by these agencies, though be assured that the searches will not be seen, or used by lenders to assess your ability to obtain credit.

Please also note that we may cross reference the information you provide us with data from a specialist anti-fraud third party with a view to stopping fraudulent transactions before they occur.

We will use the information you provide only for the following purposes:

  • To send updates regarding the status of your orders
  • To send you newsletters and details of offers and promotions in which we believe you will be interested
  • To improve the content, design and layout of the Paper-mart.co.uk website and to facilitate knowledge management
  • To understand the interests and buying behaviour of our registered users
  • To perform other such general marketing and promotional activities focused on our products and services. We may also register you for our other services which we feel may be useful or of interest to you.
  • Very occasionally, Paper-mart.co.uk may share your details with carefully selected third parties for general marketing and promotional activities.  However, if your communication preferences show that you have chosen NOT to receive such information from third parties, then of course your details will not be shared. You can edit your communications preferences at any time via the 'my account' section of our website.
  • We sometimes use other companies to provide services to you or to provide services to us. To enable them to do this, we may need to share your personal information with them. When we do so, these companies are required to act in accordance with the instructions we give them and they must meet the requirements of the Data Protection Act to keep information secure.

This privacy policy only covers the paper-mart.co.uk website. Other links within this site to other websites or framed third party sites within Paper-mart.co.uk are not covered by this policy. We may continue to use your personal information for a period after you cease being a registered user.

Principle 2 - Consent and Choice

If you choose not to register or not provide personal information, you may still visit the paper-mart.co.uk website but you will not be able to access the restricted areas available to registered users. By completing the registration process, you are confirming that you accept the terms of our Privacy Policy as described and consent to our using your information accordingly.

Principle 3 - Access

We have provided an administration service (your account) where you can review your personal information at any time to ensure it is correct and current. You will be able to update, correct, change or delete inaccurate details. You may also change your choice of opting in or out of marketing and promotional activities, although you may continue to receive mailings for a short period while your change is being processed. You have the right to ask for a copy of your personal information on payment of a small fee.

Principle 4 - Security

We have taken appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is not unlawfully processed. Paper-mart.co.uk uses industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, including "firewalls" and Secure Socket Layers. PaperMart treats data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access.  However, no information transferred over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorised access by users inside and outside the company. 

We will not be transferring your personal information outside of the European Economic Area unless otherwise specifically advised.

Principle 4.1 - Cookies

Our website creates multiple cookies on your machine which contain session and state information. The information within these cookies does not include any personal or financial information. Our website requires cookies to be enabled in the web browser and in any third party security programs to allow tasks such as registering, logging in, buying items or accessing accounts. Please be aware that should cookies be disabled or blocked by third party software, many of our website's features will be impaired or unavailable.

Third party Internet sites that you can link to from our website are not covered by our privacy policy, so we urge you to be careful when you enter any personal information online. PaperMart accepts no responsibility or liability for these sites. Other companies which advertise or offer their products or services on our website may also allocate cookies to your PC. The types of cookies they use and how they use the information generated by them will be governed by their own privacy policies and not ours.

Principle 5 - Minors

The PaperMart website is not intended for children and we ask that no-one under the age of 12 submits personal information to us or uses the site without supervision of a parent or guardian.

Principle 6 - Deletion of your Personal Data

We are unable to delete your PaperMart account information containing your personal information for a period of 6 years from the date of your last interaction with us (this could be a sales transaction, a return, or some other interaction with Paper-mart.co.uk via our Customer Services team or our online tools).  This is because we may need to access historical information for business reporting purposes.  Please note however, that at any point in time you may opt in or out of marketing communications via the 'your account' section of this website.
