In light of this, Killgerm are committed to the privacy of its customers and on the 25th May we will publish a new Privacy notice that will be found on our website on the Privacy Policy page. Killgerm are not changing the way we hold your data but being transparent and explaining what data we hold, why we hold it and how we process it.

The privacy notice will provide you with all the information, but in summary:
We hold your contact details in order to perform a contract (to supply you with goods or services e.g. training courses). We think it’s expected and justified that we would send you a new catalogue, update you with special offers and new products by mail, email or phone. However, should you disagree with this, just let us know and we will not provide this service. We hold a copy of your certificates and Photo ID’s to enable us to carry out stewardship on the products we sell and if you buy Aluminium Phosphide or Magnesium Phosphide from us we have a legal obligation to keep a Class 1 Poisons book.

We do have to pass your details to a restricted number of 3rd party trusted companies. To help deliver your order we need to pass over your delivery and contact details to our carriers so they can continue to deliver your goods quickly and efficiently. To help us keep you up-to-date with new products and special offers by email, we use a 3rd party companies to organise e-shots and organise mailings, e.g. post you our new catalogues.

For our current customers and potential customers, we will offer a clear opt out option on every communication we send in the post and email, and on any forms you fill out on our website. If you would prefer not to receive a marketing telephone call from us, please let us know.
