Privacy & Cookie Policy

Protecting your privacy and personal data is of the utmost importance to IT Shaw Limited. This Privacy Policy explains how we use any personal information you give to us.

What information do we collect?

We will need to ask you for certain personal information to give you the best possible service and experience when you contact us (via email, telephone, our website or otherwise) and when you use our products and services. Personal information includes your title, name, address, phone number and email address.

We will only use your personal information for core business purposes such as to administer your account and to provide the products and services you have requested from us.

How will we use your information?

We use your personal information to process your enquiry or request or to proceed with providing our products and services as requested by you.

The law (the Data Protection Act 1998) ensures that personal information about you is used fairly and in accordance with the eight data protection principles. These principles are there to protect you and to ensure:

  • We don’t hold more information about you than we need,
  • The information we hold about you is accurate,
  • We keep your information secure,
  • We keep information only for as long as it is necessary and,
  • That all personal data is processed lawfully and legally.


We are not an organisation that distributes any newsletters, leaflets or direct mailing via email, post or SMS. Any product or service information will only be sent if you have requested it.

Who we share your personal information with?

We will not use, divulge, or communicate to any person (other than those authorised by you) any confidential information concerning your products, customers, business, accounts, finance or contractual arrangement or other dealings, transactions or affairs which may come to our knowledge in the course of providing the products or services. You agree to do likewise in relation to confidential information we provide you.

Access to your information and correction

If you have any questions or concerns, you can ask what personal information we hold about you and request that we correct any mistakes, restrict, or stop processing, or delete it. It’s worth noting that in some cases if you do ask us to correct, delete or stop processing it, we won’t always be able to do so and continue to provide that product or service. If that is the case, we will explain why.

If you have given us consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us at info@shawplant.co.uk or write to IT Shaw Ltd. at LOW MILL BUSINESS PARK, ULVERSTON, CUMBRIA, LA12 9EE.

How long do we keep your personal information for?

We will keep your personal information for as long as we need it to provide those products and services. We will also keep it to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes and enforce our rights so the amount of time we keep your personal information may vary.

All personal information will be reassessed on a regular basis, and information which is no longer required for any purposes will be securely disposed of.
