Privacy policy

What we collect when you open an account or place an order, why we hold it, and how to get it removed.

Last updated 1 September 2026. This is template wording prepared for a UK trade wholesaler and is not legal advice — have it reviewed before you rely on it.

Who we are

Wholesale Food Supplies Ltd (company number 14827301) of Unit 14, Kestrel Park, Tyburn Road, Birmingham B24 8HJ is the data controller for the information described here. For any data question, email hello@food-supplies.co.uk or call 0121 496 0123.

What we collect

Account details: trading name, delivery address, contact name, email address, phone number, business type and — where you give them — company and VAT numbers.

Order records: what you ordered, when, at what price, where it was delivered and who signed for it. We keep these for six years because HMRC requires it.

Payment details: handled by our payment processor. Card numbers never reach our servers and we do not store them.

Site usage: pages viewed and basket contents, held in your own browser's local storage so your basket survives a refresh. This never leaves your device unless you place the order.

Why we hold it

To open and run your trade account, price your orders correctly, deliver to the right address and invoice you accurately. The lawful basis for this is performance of a contract.

To meet tax, food-safety and traceability obligations. The lawful basis is legal obligation.

To tell you about products, price changes and service updates relevant to your account. The lawful basis is legitimate interest, and you can opt out of any of it at any time without affecting your account.

Who we share it with

Our payment processor, our delivery partners for zone-three consignments, our accountants, and our hosting and email providers. Each is bound by contract to process data only on our instructions.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with other suppliers or advertisers.

How long we keep it

Order and invoice records: six years from the end of the relevant financial year.

Account contact details: for as long as the account is open, then two years after the last order in case you return.

Marketing preferences: until you change them.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete anything we are not legally required to keep, object to marketing, or ask for your data in a portable format. Email us and we will respond within one month.

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a request, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
