Euroflo takes appropriate steps to keep personal data confidential and only discloses this information to personnel in Euroflo or a third party that needs to have access to the information for legitimate business purposes. We may make your information available to our sales representatives or other business affiliates, so that they may respond to a visitor’s inquiry or provide information about our own or related goods or services that we believe support your business needs. Euroflo does not sell to third parties any personal data derived from a visitor’s visit to or use of a Euroflo site except as part of the sale of a subsidiary or of all or substantially all of the assets of an operating division, which subsidiary or division collected or uses such information in the ordinary course of business.
Our service providers – we work with different companies so that they can help us provide the products and services you require from us or we think you might be interested in. These third parties include:
- Advertising companies, who help us place Eurofo’s adverts online and on other media;
- Social media providers – such as Facebook, Youtube, LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter;

If you interact with other users or register through a Third-Party Social Media Service, Your contacts on the Third-Party Social Media Service may see your name, profile, pictures and description of your activity. Similarly, other users will be able to view descriptions of your activity, communicate with you and view your profile.
If you use the services provided by another company to interact with us, such as a social media platform, please be aware that your data is also subject to the privacy policies of these companies.
Other organisations and individuals – we may share your personal information in certain scenarios. For example:
- If we’re discussing selling or transferring part or all of Euroflo’s business, we may share information about you to prospective purchasers and their advisers – but only so they can evaluate the relevant business; or
- If we are reorganised or sold to another organisation, we may transfer information we hold about you to them so they can continue to provide the services to you.
- If we are required to by law, under any code of practice by which we are bound or where we are asked to do so by a public or regulatory authority;
- If we need to do so in order to exercise or protect our legal rights, users, systems and services; or
- In response to requests from individuals (or their representatives) seeking to protect their rights or the rights of others. We will only share your personal information in response to requests, which do not override your privacy interests. For example, we will not share your personal information with individuals who are merely curious about you, but we will share your personal information to e.g. insurers, solicitors, employers etc. which have a legitimate interest in your personal information.
International transfers of personal information
From time to time we transfer your personal information from Euroflo to suppliers or service providers based outside of the EEA for the purposes described in this privacy policy (please see the “Who might we share your personal information with?” section above for further details). When we do this, your personal information will continue to be subject to one or more appropriate safeguards set out in the law.
Keeping you informed about our products and services
From time to time, we would like to tell you about the great offers, ideas, products and services of Euroflo that we think you might be interested in. Where we have consent, or it is in our legitimate interests to do so, we may do this through the post, by email, text message, phone, through online advertising or by any other electronic means.
We won’t send you marketing messages if you tell us not to, but if you receive a service from us, we will still need to send you occasional service-related messages and may still send you surveys (you can always opt out of these via the survey email itself). If you wish to amend your marketing preferences, you can do so clicking ‘update your preferences’ or ‘unsubscribe from this list’ at the end of any e-mail you receive, or by contacting us directly at marketing@www.euroflo.com.
Please note that it can take a little while for all marketing to stop once you either withdraw your consent or tell us you’d like to opt out of marketing. This is because some marketing may have been identified as relevant to your interests and may already be in transit, it cannot therefore be immediately stopped.
Your rights
You have a number of rights under data protection legislation, which, in certain circumstances, you may be able to exercise in relation to the personal information we process about you.
These include:
- the right to access a copy of the personal information we hold about you;

- the right to restrict our use of your personal information;
- the right to be forgotten;

Where we rely on consent as the legal basis on which we process your personal information, you may also withdraw that consent at any time. If you are seeking to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below. Please note that we will need to verify your identity before we can fulfil any of your rights under data protection law. This helps us to protect the personal information belonging to our customer against fraudulent requests.
How long will we keep your personal information for?
We will keep your personal information for the purposes set out in this privacy policy and in accordance with the law and relevant regulations. We will never retain your personal information for longer than is necessary. In most cases, our retention period will come to an end 7 years after the end of your relationship with us.
