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 Summit Designs 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 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

You can subscribe to Summit Designs email updates about new pieces, collection launches and special offers using the signup form on our Summit Designs pages. We send these emails only if you subscribe: buying from us, requesting a quote 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
  • Payment or 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

Payments for Summit Furniture and Summit Designs orders are made by bank transfer to the account details provided on the Proforma Invoice.

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.

9. Your Rights

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
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, including unsubscribing from marketing emails at any time

Requests may be made using the contact details below.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for business and adult customers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorisation.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, technology, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
