Please read this section carefully as it contains important information on how we use cookies on our websites. This policy should be read together with this entire Privacy Policy (of which this cookies section is a part).

The Cabling Company or other third parties may set cookies for your web browser when you visit our website, use our products, or visit a website where The Cabling Company provides ads, content or analytics.

This section on Cookies only relates to your use of The Cabling Company’s websites. On our websites, we may link to other websites owned and operated by certain trusted third parties to make additional products and services available to you. These other third-party websites may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own separate policies. For privacy information relating to these other third-party websites, please consult their policies as appropriate.

Types of cookies

The cookies we place on your device fall into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies—these cookies are essential for you to be able to navigate our website and use its features. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for could not be provided. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.

Performance cookies—These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.

Consent to use cookies and changing settings

We will ask for your permission (consent) to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested (e.g. to enable you to put items in your shopping basket and use our check-out process).

You can withdraw any consent to the use of cookies or manage any other cookie preferences by using our Privacy Preference Centre (accessible via ‘Cookie settings’ in the bottom right corner of our website). You can then make your choices using the sliders and buttons.

The information you provide for surveys will be used to support your relationship with The Cabling Company. The Cabling Company may use online surveys to ask visitors/customers for contact information (like their email address). We use contact data from our surveys to send the survey taker information about our company and promotional material on behalf of our partners. We may combine survey information with other data we hold about you.

When you apply to work with us, we may use contact data from your application to contact you and schedule a personal interview.

Personal information about unsuccessful candidates will be held after the recruitment exercise has been completed and may be reconsidered should an appropriate position become available.

The Cabling Company will follow the applicable law as to the erasure of such personal information. We may retain pseudonymised (de-personalised) statistical information about applicants to help inform our recruitment activities. Once a person has taken up employment with us, we will compile a file relating to their employment. At that stage, we will give more details about how we process and hold employee data.

Insight will not ask you to provide any sensitive personal information at the point of application. If you include any sensitive personal information within your application, we will process it as described above and in accordance with applicable laws.

You can exercise your data protection rights at any time. If you wish to update your employment, job history, and applicant data processed by Insight or withdraw your consent for participation in future recruitment, you may contact us as outlined in the Choice/Opt-Out/Rights section of this policy.

The Cabling Company will not give or sell any information regarding you or your order and the products you purchase to any outside organisation for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent, save for the limited circumstances outlined in this policy. The Cabling Company may release personal data (including personally identifiable information) when required by law if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, in response to a lawful request by public authorities, a court order or legal process served on Insight.

We may also disclose your information if we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of the business or assets. If The Cabling Company or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal data held may be one of the transferred assets.

Any third party who acquires assets from us may acquire all or part of our business. They may not be in the same line of business as we are. Similarly, your personal information may be passed on to a successor in interest in the event of a reconstruction, liquidation, or administration.

Social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on this website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

This website may contain links to third-party sites. If you click on those links this will take you outside The Cabling Company’s service. We cannot control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites. We encourage users to be aware when they leave this website, and to read the privacy statements of each website they visit. This Privacy Policy applies only to this Website.

We retain personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
