Summit Furniture
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Summit Novatrust Limited, including its brands Summit Furniture and Summit Designs, collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information obtained through our website and customer interactions.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following information when you use our website, request a Proforma Invoice, place an order, request a custom quote, subscribe to our email updates, or contact us:
- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Delivery or installation address
- Project or site information
- Product selections and order details
- Payment confirmation information (such as bank transfer references)
- Any information you voluntarily provide through forms, email, WhatsApp, or other communication channels
We do not collect or store your internet banking password, card PIN, or other sensitive banking credentials.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Generate and send Proforma Invoices
- Process and manage orders
- Arrange delivery and installation
- Provide customer support
- Respond to inquiries and custom quote requests
- Communicate about production status, lead times, and order updates
- Send Summit Designs or Summit Furniture marketing emails, only if you have subscribed to them (see Marketing Emails below)
- Improve our products, services, and website experience
- Maintain internal business records and comply with applicable legal obligations
3. Marketing Emails
Summit Designs and Summit Furniture each keep their own email list. You can subscribe to either using the signup form on that brand's pages, the box at Summit Furniture checkout, or the button in an invitation we send you. We send these emails only if you subscribe: buying from us, requesting an invoice or accepting our checkout policies does not subscribe you, and nothing is ticked on your behalf.
When you subscribe we keep your email address, the date, where you subscribed, and the exact wording you agreed to, as a record of your consent. Your address is shared with our email service provider, Resend, which delivers the emails for us.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every marketing email, or by contacting us. Unsubscribing stops marketing emails only: we will still send you emails about any orders you place, such as receipts, invoices and delivery updates.
After you unsubscribe we keep a record that you did, and when, so that we do not email you again by mistake. If you later subscribe again, that is recorded too.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information.
Your information may be shared only where reasonably necessary with:
- Delivery and logistics partners
- Installation personnel or contractors working on your project
- Our payment provider, Squad (GTCO), which takes online payments on our behalf, and our accounting service providers
- Website hosting and technology service providers
- Our email service provider (Resend), which stores subscriber email addresses and delivers our emails on our behalf
- Government or regulatory authorities where disclosure is required by law
All such sharing is limited to information necessary for the relevant service.
5. Payment Information
Summit Designs orders are paid online at checkout. Summit Furniture orders are paid by bank transfer to the account details on the invoice, or online through a payment link.
Online payments are taken by our payment provider, Squad (GTCO). Card details are entered on Squad's secure payment form and are never seen or stored by us.
We may retain payment confirmation details, transaction references, and related accounting records for reconciliation, auditing, and customer support purposes.
6. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep the website functioning properly
- Remember user preferences
- Analyse website traffic and performance
- Improve user experience
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for:
- Order processing and fulfilment
- Customer support and warranty-related matters
- Accounting and tax record requirements
- Keeping a record of marketing consent and unsubscribes, for as long as it is needed to respect your choice
- Internal business and legal purposes
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
These measures may include secure website connections (HTTPS), restricted access to customer information, password protection, and the use of reputable hosting and email service providers.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of information where retention is no longer necessary
- Object to certain processing activities
