Privacy Policy
Gas Regulator Warehouse is a specialist division of Express Weldcare Services Limited (company number 04211996). We are committed to ensuring that all personal data we hold is treated properly and in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data when you visit our website or place an order with us.
What information do we collect?
You may give us information about you by filling in forms on our website, purchasing products, registering an account, or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise. This may include:
- Your name, billing and delivery address, email address and phone number.

- Order and payment details needed to fulfil your order (payment card details are processed directly by our payment provider and are never stored on our servers).
- Details of your visits to our website, including traffic data, location data, browser type, the pages viewed and any search terms entered. We use this for our legitimate interests in administering and improving the website, for troubleshooting, testing, research and to keep our website safe and secure.
- Any feedback you give us about our products or services, which we may use to improve what we offer.
How do we use your information?
We, or our third-party service providers acting on our instructions, may use your personal data to:
- Process and fulfil your order, including arranging delivery and handling returns.
- Manage your account and your marketing preferences.
- Verify your identity and, where necessary, carry out security checks to help prevent fraud.

Third parties and our legal basis for processing
We may share your information with third parties who process it on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions — for example, our courier, payment provider and IT hosting suppliers.
Under the UK GDPR, the lawful bases we rely on to process your information are:
- Your consent — which you may withdraw at any time by contacting us using the details below.
- Performance of a contract with you, such as processing and delivering your order.
- Compliance with a legal obligation we are subject to.
- Our legitimate interests, such as keeping our website secure, preventing fraud, and improving our products and services, provided these do not override your own rights and interests.
How we store your information
Your information is stored securely and kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes it was collected for. We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent your personal information being accidentally lost, used, accessed, altered or disclosed without authorisation.
No transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its security during transmission, and any transmission is at your own risk. We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so.
