From time to time, we may contact you to provide information about new products, services, promotions, or updates that we believe may be of interest to you. These communications may be sent by post, email, digital content or telephone, or delivered through visits from our company representatives.
We will only send marketing communications with your consent or where we are otherwise permitted to do so under data protection and electronic communications laws (for example, when you are an existing customer, and we are promoting similar products or services).
You can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by:
- Calling us on 01604 586 529
- Emailing us at contact@unora.co.uk

Your data will only be shared where necessary. We may share your data with:
- IT and website service providers;
- Delivery and logistics companies (e.g., DPD, ParcelForce or Royal Mail)
- Marketing support partners (e.g., marketing agencies acting under strict data protection terms)
- Regulatory, legal, or law enforcement bodies (where required by law)
We will not sell or share your personal information for marketing purposes.
Our websites may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
If we transfer your data outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations or Standard Contractual Clauses.

Where users are based in other jurisdictions, retention may also be subject to local legal requirements.
Your rights in relation to your data
The law on data protection gives you certain rights regarding the data we hold about you. These are:
- The right to be informed. This means that we must tell you how we use your data, and this is the purpose of this privacy policy
- The right of access. You have the right to access the data that we hold about you. To do so, you can make a subject access request
- The right to rectification. If any data that we hold about you is incomplete or inaccurate, you can require us to correct it
- The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). If you would like us to stop processing your data, you can request that we delete it from our systems, particularly if you believe there is no longer a valid reason for us to continue processing it and no legal requirement to retain it
- The right to restrict processing. For example, if you believe the data we hold is incorrect, we will stop processing it (while retaining it) until we have verified its accuracy
- The right to data portability. You may transfer the data that we hold about you for your own purposes, where technically possible
- The right to object. You have the right to object to how we use your data when it serves our legitimate interests
- The right to regulate any automated decision-making and profiling of personal data. You have a right not to be subject to automated decision-making in a way that adversely affects your legal rights
- The right to withdraw consent. If you have provided us with consent, you have the right to withdraw it. The process for doing so must be easily accessible. The data you provided before withdrawing your consent may still be used if we have a legitimate reason to do so.
- The right to complain. You have the right to complain to a Supervisory Authority (i.e. the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK) if you feel that we have not processed your data in line with data protection principles.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights explained above, please contact the Managing Director at contact@unora.co.uk
Automated decision making
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that has a legal or significant impact on you.
Making a complaint
If you have any concerns about how we handle your data, please reach out to the Managing Director first so we can address your issues together. If you feel that your concerns have not been adequately addressed, you may also contact the Supervisory Authority.
