We may send you such information by post, email, and/or telephone if you agree we can or unless you have asked us not to do so (see below).

If at any time you do not want your information used for direct marketing purposes by a Kingspan company, please contact the relevant Kingspan company from which you have received marketing so that they can unsubscribe you from their marketing lists.

Please bear in mind that the countries to which your personal data is sent/accessed from may have a different standard of data protection than the country in which you are situated. However, we have put in place protections to ensure that your information is adequately protected.  If you wish to know more about the protection we have put in place to keep  your information safe, please contact our Data Controllers.

Where organisations outside of Kingspan provide you with a service on our behalf, or help us provide the service to you (e.g. sending you a piece of literature that you have requested from us or helping us respond to your request regarding the technical operation of the website), we may share your personal information with those organisations who will only use the information to provide the relevant service.

We may also share your personal information with a purchaser or potential purchaser of our business.
