This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit buildwithhubs.co.uk, or make a purchase from shop.buildwithhubs.co.uk or shop.buildwithhubs.com (the “Sites”).


Personal information that we collect

When you visit the Sites, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Sites, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Sites, and information about how you interact with the Sites. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

We use the personal information you provide to us through our Newsletter Form to keep in touch; sending you updates on interesting developments at Build With Hubs Ltd., and marketing too, eg. a special offer if we have one.

Personal information we gather through our other interaction with you, we will use to keep you informed as per what was agreed in the interaction with you, or to send you communications that could reasonably be expected to be relevant to you, given the initial interaction.
