The policy of HALEYBOTT LIMITED is to only keep information for as long as required for the purpose or purposes for which we use it. For example, we will store details of your invoices in order to process return requests, warranty claims or queries relating to any orders that you have placed with us in the past.

We will determine how long to retain different data based on how long we need the information for and what it is used for, as well as any legal or regulatory requirements that require us to retain records and details of purchases for an additional period of time.

For example:
For orders the retention period is 7 years after the end of your relationship with us. However, if your order included a warranty, the associated personal data will be kept until the end of the warranty period.

Under UK GDPR individuals are entitled to the rights to be informed, to access, to rectification, to erasure, to restrict processing, to data portability and to object.
