About this policy

Hello, and thanks for visiting FAB Components privacy. This is where we explain how we use and look after the information you provide to us. Your information is important and reading our policy will help you understand how we collect information, what we do with it and what choices you have.

If you have not heard of FAB Component before, our full company name is FAB Components Limited providing services to the medical, engineering & mechanical and other sectors. This website or ‘Site’ brings our services together for you under one digital roof.

We do sometimes update this policy so you may want to return to this page and read it through again from time to time. The last time we updated this policy was on 28 June 2015.

We will also mention that it was you who made the referral in the message we send to them.

We also collect other information about the use of our Site and services. Some of this information we may automatically collect when you visit the Site, such as what type of device you have and which type of internet browser or mobile device you use, whether you visited our Site from another website or service and your IP address (the unique reference number that identifies your device on the internet).

Will I receive marketing?

Like you, we hate junk mail and spam contact and we will not sell your information to marketing companies. FAB Components news, offers and messaging services will only be sent to you where you have agreed to receive these.

We also understand that you might change your mind about receiving our occasional FAB Components communications. If you do not wish us to continue to contact you in this way, you can either follow the unsubscribe instructions on any of our communications to you or contact us by using the contact us information at the end of the policy.

When will FAB Components disclose my information?

As explained above, we don't sell your information to marketing companies although, like most organisations, there may be cases when we need to share information.

We work with employees, partners or agents who are involved in delivering the products or services that you order and use through this Site and under appropriate contractual and confidentiality protections.

If we're reorganised or sold to another organisation, we may transfer any personal information we hold about you to that organisation as part of the sale or re-organisation.

We may also share information where we are required or allowed to do so by law or if we believe that this is necessary to prevent fraud or cyber-crime or to protect the site or the rights or safety of its users or any other person.
