Privacy notice

GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on 25th May 2018 and emphasises transparency, security and accountability by data controllers, while at the same time standardising and strengthening the right of European citizens to data privacy.

At Material Solutions, through the course of our day to day business and transactions, we will have collected information about you or your business and under GDPR we need to disclose how that information is held, processed and managed.

For business reasons, we hold the following information on our internal Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

• Name
• Address
• Contact phone numbers
• Email address
• Credit balance
• Eircode

The information is held on a secure password protected network at our office in Dublin. Information is held for day to day business reasons to enable contact between our office and yours and to ensure we can dispatch items to you like statements, invoices and also for sales related promotions and special offers. By now, you will have received a copy of our GDPR email asking for your permission to continue including you on our email promotions special offers.

Your rights to information
Only employees of our business have access to information. Other entities who would see this information are professional auditors who would access this information within the confines of our building in a secure environment.

You can at anytime, make a request to see the information we hold about your account. For easy access, why not receive a login code to our web site where you can view the same information that we have on our internal ERP system. This will appear under the ‘DASHBOARD’ tab when you login to our web site.
