Privacy policy
At Zaros Machinery we understand how important your privacy is. We therefore ask only for details that are essential to process and deliver your order, such as your name, address and contact details. Our courier will receive your address, and in some circumstances your phone number so that they can ensure your package arrives without delay – you can request that we do not share your phone number if you prefer. Please contact us before ordering if you would like to know more about this.
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from https://www.zarosmachinery.co.uk/ (the “Site”).
