Who we are

Polybags are the UK's leading polythene packaging manufacturer. We were founded in 1961 and are an independently-run, customer-service-focused company. As well as the core industrial supply business, we produce garment covers, retail packaging and mailing bags and also supply major packaging merchants with their polythene products. We have been at the forefront of developing recycled and renewable-based packaging options including starch, degradable and metallocene high strength films, and have led the way in online trading backed up by an efficient stocking and distribution system.

What information do we collect?

When you use our service to make an enquiry or order a product, we will need to collect personal information about you. This is kept to the absolute minimum in order to correctly and efficiently process your enquiry or order.

We may collect and use the following kinds of personal information when you contact us, place an order, subscribe to a newsletter, use live chat, register or enter information on our website: Name, title, email address, delivery and invoice postal addresses, telephone number, mobile telephone number, the reason for your contact and any product, contact or marketing preferences.

This information will be collected primarily from you as information voluntarily provided to us, but we may also collect it where lawful to do so from publicly available sources, third party service providers, individuals whom you have indicated have agreed for you to provide their personal information, government or law enforcement agencies.

We will also collect information on how you interact with our website or social networking pages and may include your IP address, geographical region and other traffic and communication data. If you create an online account we will collect and store securely your username and password and we also use cookies to collect data - see the 'Cookies & website privacy' section below.

If you use your credit or debit card for payment we will need to share your data with a third party to enable this processing. We ensure that this is done securely and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. We do not store your payment card details. We would like to emphasise that we do *not* record the details that appear on your credit-card (e.g. credit card number, expiry date, CVV) on our systems. In fact we avoid coming into direct contact with this information altogether - instead this information is collected for processing only by trusted payment gateways such as Paypal, who authorise and process your payment for us. These organisations use state-of-the-art security to collect and protect your payment details so that we never even have to see them.

How do we use this information?
