This website is operated by Travis Perkins plc (“we” or “us”), which is part of the Travis Perkins plc group of companies (“Group”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with data protection laws applicable to the United Kingdom.
This Privacy Policy explains how we use any information we collect about you and forms part of our Conditions of Use.
This privacy policy applies to:
If you are interested in a career within the Travis Perkins Group, please use the “Careers” link which will take you to our TP Careers website. You will find a separate Careers Privacy Policy there which explains how we use personal information in the recruitment and careers processes.
Personal information is any information relating to an individual who can be identified directly or indirectly from that information, such as name, email address, location, an online identifier or other factors specific to their identity.
As a rule, we do not collect “special category data” about visitors to this website. Special category data relates to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, membership of a trade union, physical or mental health, criminal records and allegations.
Website Visitors: The personal information we collect about you and how we use it
You can visit and browse our website without providing your name or contact details.
Like many websites, our server logs capture details of your operating system, browser software, IP (Internet Protocol) address and Uniform Resource Locator (URL), including the date and time of your visit.
We use cookies to analyse how our site is used by visitors and to provide some of the functionality – see our cookies policy for more information.
You may choose to provide your contact details (e.g. name, address, business, job title, email address, telephone number) if you do any of these things:
In addition to the general information collected about visitors to our website described above, you may choose to sign up for Investor Relations alerts and regulatory news.
At the date of this privacy policy, our Investor Relations services are hosted by Investis Limited. Any information that you provide will be treated with the utmost care and security. It will not be used in ways to which you have not consented.
You can change your alert preferences or unsubscribe at any time by visiting the Investor Relations page and logging into your account. You can also unsubscribe using the link in each email that is sent.
Suppliers: The personal information we collect about you and how we use it
If you supply products or services to the Travis Perkins Group, we may use your personal information in the following ways:
The Travis Perkins Group uses centralised finance, supplier and investor management systems. Your information may be accessed by others in the Group for administrative and analytical purposes. However, you will not receive marketing from other Group companies unless you have agreed to that.
Some telephone calls may be recorded or monitored, for example calls to our Group’s customer services teams. Call recording and monitoring may be carried out for the following purposes:
Some of the information we collect is provided by you voluntarily (and therefore with your permission), for example when you sign up to join a mailing list or submit a query.
If you supply products or services to us, most of the information we collect is necessary so that we can fulfil the contract between us.
The remainder of the information is collected for our legitimate business purposes, which include:
When we collect personal information from you we will indicate whether it is mandatory or voluntary – this is done on the website by using asterisks to mark mandatory fields.
We will retain your personal information for as long as needed for the legitimate business purposes described above.
If you are a visitor to the website, we will retain your information for a limited period in order to respond to your query, provide you with the information you require or to send you updates for as long as you indicate that you are happy for us to do so.
If you are a supplier, we normally keep records for 7 years after the closure of your account or the last purchase or sale you made for accounting, tax and product liability purposes.
Your information may be retained for longer than this if there are valid legal grounds for us to do so, for example if required by law or court order, or as needed to defend or pursue legal claims.
Like most organisations, we engage service providers to run our website and IT systems, to help us administer investor relations, and to handle postal and email distribution.
As mentioned above, Investor Relations services are provided for us by a third party.
We will only provide these companies with the information they need to deliver the service we have engaged them for and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Whenever we share personal information about our customers, suppliers or visitors to our website with our service providers, we will put in place contracts which require the service provider to protect the information and keep it secure. See also Transferring information to other countries below.
Your information may be shared within the Travis Perkins Group for account management, analysis and reporting.
Your personal data may be disclosed to the following third parties for the purposes described above:
We may also disclose your personal information if we believe that the disclosure is necessary to enforce or apply our terms and conditions or otherwise protect and defend our rights, property or the safety of our customers, employees and other users of the website.
We may disclose and/or transfer your personal information in connection with a reorganisation of all or part of our business, if the majority of our shares are bought by another company or if we transfer all or some of our assets to another company.
Some of the companies who provide services to us may be located outside the United Kingdom, for example, some IT service providers. As a result, your personal information may be transferred outside the UK. We will ensure that those service providers comply with any legal requirements that apply to the transfer of personal information outside the UK, including, where appropriate, requiring the service provider to sign the approved European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
We take the protection of your personal information seriously and have appropriate physical and technological security measures in place to keep it safe. Internally, we restrict access to personal information. Only employees who need the information in order to do their jobs have access to it.
If you have created an account or registered to use any online services, your account details may be password protected. It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and to sign out once you have finished browsing.
We keep our Privacy Policy under regular review and if we change our Privacy Policy we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect and how we use it.
This policy was last updated in August 2018.
Links may be provided on our website to other websites that are not operated by us. This includes links to our pages on the following social media sites:
If you use these or any other links, you will leave our website. You should note that we are not responsible for the contents of any third party website. External sites will have their own privacy policies which you should read carefully.
Marketing
If you would prefer not to receive our marketing in the future, please unsubscribe using one of the following ways:
We always aim to target our marketing to match your specific customer profile and interests. However, you can opt out of receiving marketing which is tailored to suit your customer profile by contacting the relevant Travis Perkins group company using the contact details given in their individual privacy policy on their website. Please note: You will still receive generic marketing unless you opt out of receiving marketing entirely.
