Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 25/05/2020

We, at Spy Equipment UK (trading arm of Intellisphere Limited), treat the privacy of our visitors with the highest importance. This policy details the measures we take to preserve and safely guard your privacy when you visit or communicate with our site(s) or personnel. Specifically it covers a detailed explanation of how we may store or otherwise use personal information about you.  In particular, we want you to know that Spy Equipment UK Limited is not in the business of selling, renting or trading customers data – therefore we try our utmost hardest to ensure your data is safe and relevant measures are in place to ensure this is always the case.

Please note that we regularly review our Privacy Policy, so we advise you to check back on this Policy from time to time. At the top of this page is the date when this policy was last updated.

1) Introduction

  1. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of website users and also customers for whom we hold data on.
  2. We are committed to allowing users as much control as possible and educating them as much as possible when interacting with our website and/or services.
  3. In this policy “our”, “we” and “us” refers to Spy Equipment UK Limited Ltd

 

2) Discreet Billing and Packaging

When customers pay by debit or credit card there may be a concern that the billing reference on the bank or card statement would cause an issue. Here at Spy Equipment UK, we understand that many customers may want to purchase with discretion, so the Name appearing next to the transaction will be Intellisphere Ltd, thereby attracting less attention.

All our parcels are sent using plain packaging and there are no markings on the outside of the package that would indicate the nature of the type of product(s) within. We as a general rule do not put an invoice inside the package, just in case the package is opened in error by someone other than the specified recipient. All packages have the sender named as either Intellisphere or SE UK. By operating this policy we hope that customers can receive their orders without alerting unwanted attention.

Please Note: Any international orders shipped outside the EU will require inclusion of invoices together with the packed for Customs and Excise purposes.
