As an organisation that processes business related data, Vincent Timber Limited has assessed all six grounds for lawful processing of personal data and has selected 'Legitimate Interests' as the most suitable lawful ground for the processing of data for the purposes of Vincent Timber Limited marketing and sales.

The personal data we collect is limited to first name, last name, email address, contact telephone numbers and social profiles.
