In order to operate our business, we do need to collect some personal data. We only ever collect what is necessary and we do not store the data for any longer than we need to.

​

What type of data do we store?

If you choose to place an order with us, we’ll hold some or all of the following types of information in relation to your order.

· Your name.

· Your company/employer’s name.

· Your email address.

· Your telephone number, which may include direct dial or mobile numbers.

· Your business/work address.

· Your IP address.

· Website cookies.

 

Legal Basis

We rely upon a number of different legal bases for processing personal information – these include processing personal information where it is in our legitimate interests to do so and where this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract. Where we rely on our legitimate interests, this means that we use personal information to run our business and to provide the services we have been asked to provide. We only collect information that has been supplied voluntarily; you do not have to provide us with personal information. However, if you do not provide us with information we need by law or require to do work, we may not be able to offer certain products and services.

​

Your Rights

You have several important rights in relation to your data:

· The right to be informed – We’ll always try to be as transparent as possible about how your data is being stored and processed by us.

· The right to access – If you’d like to know what information we store about you, you can exercise your right to access, often known as a “subject access request”. We usually prefer to get these in writing and sometimes we may need to ask for additional proof of identity. We will respond to all access requests within one calendar month but if we do need to ask you for ID, that one month period won’t start until we’ve received it.

· The right to rectification – If you believe that we hold some incorrect information about you, then you have the right to request that we amend your personal information across all of our systems. We’ll try and complete any such requests as quickly as possible but you should allow us up to one calendar month.

· The right to erasure – You can ask us at any time to remove your personal data from our systems. In some cases, for example if required to do so by HMRC, we might need to keep a few records even after you’ve asked us to delete your information. We’ll let you know about this when you request removal, as well as telling you how long we’ll be keeping the data for.

· The right to restrict processing – You can ask us not to use your data in particular ways. This is different than the right to erasure because it lets you specify that you’re happy for us continue using your data in other ways.

· The right to data portability – You can ask us to export your personal information in a commonly-understood file format, such as CSV. This is particularly useful if you wanted to give the data to someone else to process. The same one-month period and need for identification applies to these requests as it does to a subject access request.

· The right to object – You can raise an objection at any time to the way in which we’re using your data. For example, you might want to remain a trade customer but opt out of receiving marketing communications. You have the right to do so without it affecting your legal status with us.

​

Who has access to your data?

We only allow our staff access to customer data when it’s absolutely necessary for them to do their jobs.

In regards to electronic communication, our email services are provided by Microsoft 365 which provides a very secure email platform. Some Microsoft employees may have access to our email system. This is only to provide technical support and they don’t perform any processing or collection on emails coming through our system.

If you visit our websites, then your activities on the site are anonymised and sent to Google Analytics with a tracking cookie. This data lets us know how well our websites are working and which parts still need improvement. If you’d prefer not to take part in this anonymous usage tracking, then you should set your browser to “do not track” mode.

​

What do we do with your data?

Apart from using your data to process and despatch orders, we’ll also use it to keep in touch about our latest developments and services. We often run reports on our sales orders so that we can spot purchasing trends. Identifying trends helps us ensure that our prices and product range are competitive. You can opt out of any specific types of data processing if you wish to.

When visiting our websites, cookies will be created and stored on your computer. These cookies provide important functionality like allowing you to log in and access trade prices.

​

Where do we store your data?

Your personal data may be stored in physical files located on our premises in Reading. Any files that contain personally identifiable information are stored securely, under lock and key. Access to those files is only available to staff members who require it to complete their assigned duties. Physical files are only kept as long as necessary by law and are then destroyed.

Electronic storage of your personal data is mostly situated on our in-house servers which is firewalled and encrypted and that access to the systems is highly restricted.

Since we run a few websites, we may also have some of your personal information stored off-site in a data centre.

​

Data Breaches

A data breach will be deemed to have occurred whenever an unauthorised party gains access to ours records or systems. Should a breach occur, a thorough investigation will take place. We will assess the severity of the breach. Where the breach may have allowed the unauthorised third party to gain access to personal information relating to our customers, we will notify affected customers and explain what data may have been accessed and what steps they may need to take (e.g. resetting passwords).

SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Information - Branded Matches

Safety matches will not ignite, in normal circumstances, unless they are rubbed on the specially prepared striking surface provided on the box.

Matches do not ignite when heated unless the temperature exceeds 180°C. The main hazards associated with matches is the readily combustible nature with misuse.


First aid measures
Unless large quantities of matches are ingested (>10 matches per kilogram of body weight) there is little risk to health following ingestion. If more than this quantity is ingested seek medical attention.

 

Burns resulting from mishandling should be treated as normal burns. Place injured part under running cold water for 10 minutes. Do not break blisters or remove loose skin.  Do not apply ointments or lotions. Dress area with clean, non- fluffy, sterile material.  If in doubt seek medical attention.
 

Firefighting measures
Water is the most effective extinguishant for match fires.  Match fires produce much smoke containing small quantities of acidic gases such as phosphorus oxides.  In large conflagrations involving matches, breathing apparatus should be used.

 

Accidental release measures
If significant quantities of matches are released by breakage of packaging; remove all potential ignition sources, salvage any undamaged product and wet the remaining product before clearing up.

 

Handling and storage
In storage, matches give off no toxic or flammable gases. Matches do not spontaneously catch fire. Matches should be stored in a cool dry place, away from potential sources of ignition and other highly flammable materials.
It should be noted that any ignition of matches in intact closed boxes, displays and cases invariably self extinguishes because there is insufficient oxygen in the closed packaging. Only when the case or packaging bursts open is there any danger of sustained combustion taking place.

 

Physical and chemical properties
Appearance : boxes containing wooden sticks carrying an ignition tip.
Odour : Low, woody smell
Flammability : Matches are flammable and may ignite when temperature exceeds 180°C
Solubility : Approximately 10 mg of each match is soluble in water.

 

Stability and reactivity
Stability: The product is stable under all ambient conditions and long shelf-live ( > 5 years ).
Conditions to avoid: Avoid sources of heat , radiation , sparks.
The product is sensitive to excessive moisture

 

Toxicological information
Most of the components of matches are inert non hazardous materials. The hazardous materials are potassium chlorate and red amorphous phosphorus.
The lowest lethal dose in humans for potassium chlorate is quoted as LDLo = 429 mg/kg body weight (Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, published by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, US). NB. Each match head contains approximately 10 mg of potassium chlorate.
Red amorphous phosphorus is widely regarded as being non toxic. Hoechst, a leading supplier of this material quote LD50 oral - rat = 15000 mg/kg body weight.

 

Ecological information
Our safety matches contain no toxic heavy metals and they do not emit sulphur dioxide when burned.
The matches have very limited impact on the environment as made from mostly natural raw materials.
Potassium chlorate is a herbicide but on combustion this is converted into the ecologically harmless compound potassium chloride. Used matches and boxes biodegrade rapidly in the environment.


Transport information
Matches represent a minimal hazard during transport.
The UN number for safety matches is 1944 and the classification is 4.1 Flammable solid.

 

Regulatory information
Matches are classified as articles and do not require labelling for supply. Articles are not required to have Safety data sheets in accordance with the Directive 91/155/EEC and this information is provided as a convenience to our customers.
