We may also keep other information (passport, driving license) due to security measures if you visit our site and are required to enter our production facility. We will usually keep this information for a period of 12 months.

Should there be any change to your personal details in the future (i.e. change of name, email, etc.) you are asked to notify us promptly. This will ensure we maintain accurate personal details and that we are able to contact you or another designated person in case of an emergency. If it becomes our intention to use your information for any other reason, we shall advise you of those intentions before using the information for the additional purpose(s), as well as advising you of any other details within this statement which may be affected.

You may also ask for the right to ask for the processing of your personal data to be restricted or even erased. Whether or not you exercise the right to erasure, the company will erase your personal data in certain situations and particularly when the data is no longer required.

At any time, you may have the right to object to the processing of your personal data. If you exercise this right, then unless we have compelling reasons not to, we shall cease to process your data wherever data protection laws allow. If you request that certain data be erased, then this may result in you being refused entry to our manufacturing area until certain details are received. If we are asked for information from our customer base for security purposes, we will contact you and inform you of this request. Refusal to share the requested information may result in Electro Discharge Ltd having to remove you from certain manufacturing processes.

Electro Discharge Ltd is committed to combating acts of modern-day slavery from within both our business and its supply chain.

The company acknowledges responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within the company and with suppliers of goods and services to the company. Modern slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour are unacceptable in a modern 21st century society.

We have communicated our Modern-Day Slavery Policy to all our workforce, providing them with information on how to identify and report potential slavery within the workplace.

We apply reasonable due diligence to risk assess our supply chain and to use the following mechanisms to do this, and will continue to do the following:

• Risk assess our supply chain and contractors to identify any areas of high risk • Provide all findings to our employees and senior management • Any higher risk suppliers will be communicated with to determine what actions they are taking to eliminate the risk • Refusal to hold business with any suppliers who do not meet our standards and expectations

Slavery and Human Trafficking are serious crimes, and Electro Discharge Ltd are pleased to submit this statement outlining our commitment to the abolishment of these crimes.
