Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes how Thermohouse UK Ltd uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through thermohouse.co.uk, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Who we are
Our website address is : http://www.thermohouse.co.uk/. Thermohouse founder and Managing Director Michael Cronin has worked in the construction industry for more than two decades. From humble beginnings as quarry operator in 1994, the business grew and diversified. In 2001, MC Group was formed and is now one of Ireland’s leading building materials manufacturers and suppliers, with several locations across Munster.
In 2004, MC Group commenced a research and development programme with the aim of developing an innovative building method to deliver future proofed homes. Over next few years, the research team explored and assessed various building systems across the globe to develop a system which would meet three main requirements:
1) Energy efficient
2) Structurally robust
3) A complete building solution
From this research Thermohouse was born, and over the years we have developed a system which delivers on these 3 original promises.
What personal data we collect and why
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Thermohouse UK Ltd collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Thermohouse UK Ltd’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand Thermohouse UK Ltd’s visitors use its website.
Thermohouse UK Ltd also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. IP addresses are anonymised when used for functions such as analysis.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Thermohouse UK Ltd choose to interact with Thermohouse UK Ltd in ways that require Thermohouse UK Ltd to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Thermohouse UK Ltd gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who have an enquiry to provide an email address and phone number so that we may contact them.
In each case, Thermohouse UK Ltd collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Thermohouse UK Ltd. Thermohouse UK Ltd does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities, like purchasing products or making enquiries.
All of the information that is collected on Thermohouse UK Ltd will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.
