Privacy, GDPR and Cookies

To be read in conjunction with the relevant terms of service.

 

Who we are and what we do…

​

Rawlings Products Ltd provides training and marketing services for estate agents. Our registered office is Unit 3, Woodgrove Farm, Fulbrook Hill, Fulbrook, Burford OX18 4BH.

Company registration number 08374883.

 

We love our clients and want to look after them as well as we possibly can in terms of security, privacy and compliance. So you can take it as read that we will never sell or otherwise abuse any of your data. This Privacy Policy will hopefully reassure you by providing transparent information about when and why we collect information (some of it technically regarded as personal, such as an email addresses), how we use it and keep it secure.  

​

Types of Data we collect…

​

We only collect information that enables us to contact you, plus any notes that we might have made in respect of your possible interest in our services. This is likely to be name, title, postal address, email address and phone number, plus any notes we might make to help us to provide you with the most relevant service (and to prevent us from bugging you with irrelevant stuff). For example:

​

Name: Daisy Smythe.   Job Title: Director, Organisation: Smythe Estates,

Address: 120 Haddock Road, Fishguard. RG12 5PL  Phone: 01234 567 890

Email: d.smythe@dsmytheestates.co.uk

​

Notes: Daisy has used our services before and has indicated that she will be doing so again as soon as she has hired a new marketing manager.

 

You’re most welcome to contact us at any time, via our website, or by email to hello@rawlingsproducts.co.uk to ask to see what information we hold on you. We will of course delete any or all of this immediately on request.

​

How we collect data…

 

If you are on our marketing database then this will be because at some stage you have provided us with your details. This may have been at a conference where you might have asked us to provide you with information and we noted your details or you handed us a business card. You may have telephoned or email us, possibly from our website/chatbot, or we might have contacted your office and asked if it would be ok to contact you and one of your colleagues agreed to this and supplied your contact details. Occasionally an “out of office” reply asks that we should contact a colleague in the recipient’s absence. It may be that you are one of Richard Rawlings’ contacts. But we never buy email lists! Yuk!

​

Cookies…

​

We also collect browser information using cookies. These little techno-biscuits are really helpful as they enable us to recognise that you are a returning guest and help us optimise your user experience.

​

We will most likely email you but may occasionally post you a letter or phone you. We would usually only phone you to follow up when you have expressed a specific interest. You can unsubscribe at any time and we will always make this easy for you to do in one click during every communication, or by phone.

We use third party providers to deliver our email communications, such as Campaign Monitor and BombBomb.

​

We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on our Website, or which may be used by third parties through our websites. The classification was developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about which cookies we use, why we use them, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don’t want to have them on your device.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.  

​
