What is Personal Data and why is it important that we have it?

Personal Data is the information or an expressed opinion through which an individual is identified.


These include names, postal and electronic addresses, and phone and fax numbers. Personal Data of this kind can be obtained in interview or correspondence, over the phone or via fax, email, through our website www.specialneedsequipment.eu or from third parties – or a combination of any of these. We don’t use cookies on our site. However, we do not guarantee that website links to external sites or our third parties do not use this technology.


Our primary aim in collecting your Personal Data is the provision of our services and products to you, or of your or general marketing information to our clients, and for the purposes of marketing. We may use your information for ancillary purposes that are directly related to the primary aim, under circumstances of use or disclosure that could be reasonably expected. To remove yourself from updates about our products or associated material, you can simply inform us via email or let us know.


When it’s possible and appropriate for us to do so, we will inform you why we are collecting your details and what we intend to do with it.

- Race or ethnicity

- Criminal record

- Health information

- Political party, association, trade union or professional body membership

The same rules are true for your sensitive information as for your personal data when it comes to the holding of it for the purposes outlined, under permission given by you and in circumstances where it is either required or authorized legally.

In general, most of the personal data we hold will be kept for a minimum of seven years. After the personal data is no longer required for its purposes or the seven year period, we will take reasonable measures to destroy or de-personalize information specific to you.



Access to your Personal Data

You can request access to all the details we hold about you by writing to us free of charge. You may incur a fee for the provision of a copy of those details. We may require confirmation of your identity from you before releasing your details to you.
