Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we process information about you, including personal data and cookies, when you use our website.

1. General Information

This Policy applies to the website (the “Service”) available at: margumtyres.co.uk.

The Service is operated by, and the controller of your personal data is:

MarGum Tyres Ltd
Bramble House Unit-C, Bramble Road, Swindon, SN2 8DS, United Kingdom
E-mail: margumtyresuk@gmail.com
(“we”, “us”, “our”)

We are the controller of the personal data you voluntarily provide via the Service.

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • Running a newsletter/mailing list.
  • Preparing, packing and dispatching goods.
  • Fulfilling services you order/request.
  • Presenting our offer or other information you request.

We obtain information about users and their behaviour in the following ways:

  • Through data voluntarily entered into forms on the Service, which are then stored in our systems.
  • By saving cookies on end devices (see section 8 below).

2. Selected Data Protection Measures Used by Us

  • Areas for logging in and entering personal data are protected during transmission (SSL/TLS certificate). This means the data you enter is encrypted on your device and can only be read on the target server.
  • Administrative passwords are changed periodically.
  • We make regular back-ups in order to protect data.
  • An essential element of data protection is the regular updating of all software used to process personal data, in particular updating programming components and plugins.

3. Hosting

The Service is hosted (technically maintained) on the servers of: cyberFolks.pl.

The hosting provider, in order to ensure technical reliability, maintains server-level logs. The following may be recorded:

  • Resources identified by a URL (addresses of requested resources – pages, files).
  • Time the request arrived.
  • Time the response was sent.
  • Name of the client station – identification carried out by the HTTP protocol.
  • Information about errors that occurred during HTTP transactions.
  • The URL of the page previously visited by the user (referrer link) – if the transition to the Service took place via a link.
  • Information about the user’s browser.
  • Information about the IP address.
  • Diagnostic information related to the self-ordering of services via forms on the site.
  • Information related to e‑mail handled by and sent from our systems.

The hosting company acts as our data processor under Article 28 UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018.

4. Your Rights and Additional Information on How We Use Data

4.1 Possible recipients of your data

In certain situations, we may need to share your personal data with other recipients if it is necessary to perform a contract with you or to comply with our legal obligations. This may include the following categories of recipients:

  • Hosting provider (as a processor).
  • Couriers and delivery companies.
  • Banks.
  • Payment service providers.
  • Authorised employees and contractors who use the data to operate the Service.
  • Companies providing marketing services to us.

4.2 Retention periods

We will not process your personal data longer than necessary for the activities related to it, as specified by applicable laws (e.g. accounting rules). Marketing data will not be processed for longer than 3 years from your last interaction or until you withdraw consent/raise an objection (whichever occurs first).

4.3 Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the right to request from us:

  • access to your personal data,
  • rectification (correction) of your data,
  • erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”),
  • restriction of processing,
  • data portability.

You also have the right to object to processing described in section 3.2 (i.e. processing carried out for our legitimate interests, including profiling). We may continue to process the data if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

4.4 Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) – the UK supervisory authority for data protection:
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF, United Kingdom.

4.5 Requirement to provide data

Providing personal data is voluntary, but necessary to use certain functionalities of the Service (e.g. to respond to your enquiry or fulfil an order).

4.6 Automated decision-making

You may be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, in order to deliver services under a contract and for our direct marketing purposes. In such cases you have the right to obtain human intervention, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

4.7 International data transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to “third countries” (outside the UK and the European Economic Area) where our processors or tools (e.g. analytics or mailing systems) are located. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

5. Information in Forms

  • The Service collects information provided voluntarily by users, including personal data, if provided.
  • The Service may record information about connection parameters (time stamp, IP address).
  • In some cases, the Service may store information that facilitates linking the data in a form with the e‑mail address of the user filling in the form. In such a case, the user’s e‑mail address appears inside the URL of the page containing the form.
  • Data provided in a form is processed for the purpose arising from the function of a particular form, e.g. to handle a service request, business contact, or registration for services. Each time the context and description of the form clearly informs you of its purpose.

6. Administrator’s Logs

Information about user behaviour in the Service may be logged. These data are used for administering the Service.

7. Important Marketing Techniques

  • We use statistical analysis of website traffic via Google Analytics (Google LLC, USA). We do not transmit personal data to this service provider, only anonymised information. The service uses cookies stored on the user’s device. Regarding user preference information collected by Google’s advertising network, you can view and edit the information from cookies using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
  • We use remarketing techniques that allow advertising messages to be tailored to user behaviour on the site. This may give the impression that personal data is used to track you, but in practice no personal data is transferred by us to advertising operators. The technological condition for such actions is enabled cookie support.
  • We use the Facebook Pixel. This technology means that Meta (Facebook Inc./Meta Platforms Inc., USA) knows that a registered user is using the Service. Meta acts on the basis of data for which it is the controller; we do not transfer any additional personal data to Meta. The service is based on cookies stored on the end device.
  • We use solutions that automate the operation of the Service towards users, e.g. sending an e‑mail to a user after visiting a specific subpage, provided they have consented to receive commercial correspondence from us.

8. Information About Cookies

  • The Service uses cookies.
  • Cookies are IT data (in particular text files) stored on the user’s end device and intended for using the Service’s web pages. Cookies usually contain the name of the website of origin, the storage time on the end device and a unique number.
  • The entity placing cookies on the user’s end device and accessing them is the Service operator.

Cookies are used for the following purposes:

  • maintaining the user’s session (after logging in), thanks to which the user does not have to re-enter their login and password on each subpage;
  • achieving the purposes specified above in the section “Important Marketing Techniques”.

Within the Service two basic types of cookies are used: “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. “Session” cookies are temporary files stored on the user’s end device until they log out, leave the website or disable the software (web browser). “Persistent” cookies are stored on the user’s device for the time specified in the cookie parameters or until the user deletes them.

Web-browsing software (web browsers) usually allows cookies to be stored on the user’s device by default. Users of the Service can change settings in this respect. The web browser allows cookies to be deleted. Automatic blocking of cookies is also possible. Detailed information on this topic is contained in the help or documentation of the web browser.

Restricting the use of cookies may affect some of the functionalities available on the Service’s websites.

Cookies placed on the user’s end device may also be used by entities cooperating with the Service operator, in particular Google (Google LLC, USA), Facebook (Meta Platforms Inc., USA) and Twitter (Twitter Inc., USA).
