CST Automation Ltd may disclose certain information to third parties such as couriers, HMRC and others involved in the delivery or legal oversight of the company's services. CST Automation Ltd will do so only where it is essential to complete your order or to comply with legal duties. In such cases, CST Automation Ltd will disclose only the information that is absolutely required (e.g. name and delivery address to couriers). CST Automation Ltd will not otherwise pass on your details to any third parties without your express consent.

Receiving special offers:
If you sign up to receive special offers (such as special seasonal offers, discount voucher and occasional free product giveaways) we will retain your contact details on a secure system and send you details via the channel(s) you choose. If we do not have your clear consent, we cannot send  you special offers. You can sign up to receive special offers using our Contact Preferences web page.

Conversely, if you have previously agreed to receive such invitations but you no longer wish to receive them, the same Contact Preferences form can be used to opt out of future invitations.
