Who are we?

Global Fabric Structure provides quality pre-engineered fabric structure solutions. GFS is wholly-owned subsidiary of the Alexander Pacific Group (APG). APG also owns Allsite Structure Rentals, Fabritecture and Precise Procurement Services Hong Kong, which are business units that provide related fabric structure products and services around the world.

At GFS, we are committed to acting in the best interests of our clients, employees and website visitors. We do not sell, trade or rent email lists, data or visitor information with companies and businesses outside the Alexander Pacific Group.

This Privacy Policy aims to provide information and clarity regarding when, how and why we collect your personal information, as well as how we use it, the limited conditions in which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.

Why do we collect your information?

The main reason we collect your information is to interact with you and offer you the best experience possible.

Once your project-related interactions with GFS are complete, your contact details remain on file to keep you updated on new projects, industry awards and product information relevant to GFS and the Alexander Pacific Group.

We only store information that you have voluntarily supplied to us, such as your full name, email address and phone number.

 

What information do we collect?

We only store information that is necessary to perform our day to day business and supply our clients with the best service possible.

Typically, we will collect your full name, email address, phone number (if provided), as well as the company your work for if your interaction with GFS is work related.

General user information is collected from all site visitors, such as session length, page load time, and occasionally geographic location (country) to give us an insight into how our website is performing and provide an overview of our visitors.

How do we collect your information?

Personal data, such as names, phone numbers and email addresses are only collected when you explicitly provide them to us. This is usually done through an enquiry form submission, direct email, phone call or by opting-in to our mailing list.

We will never share, buy or sell customer information.

If you decide not to provide your personal data to GFS, you will not be contacted regarding sales enquiries or for marketing purposes. You can learn more about amending, retracting or deleting your personal data from our servers below.

Alternatively, you may request restricted processing of your personal information. To discuss what options are available, please contact us directly at info@globalfabricstructures.com.

How do we use your information?

We may use your information to contact you directly either as a response to a voluntarily submitted enquiry by you, or in the form of marketing emails that are specific and relevant to GFS and our services.

Occasionally, we may need to share information such as your name, phone number or email address with our suppliers only if it is necessary to perform our business services or carry out an agreement we have with you. This will only be done if absolutely necessary, and we will obtain your consent prior.

Your trust is very important to us. We will never share, buy or sell your information and we take steps to ensure your data is safe and secure.

You have the right to access, rectify or erase your personal information

We are completely transparent with our data storage. At any time, you have the right to view, update or delete any of your personal information that we have stored. Simply send us an email at info@globalfabricstructures.com to request access to your data.

We will provide your information within 1 month of receiving your request free of charge, except in the case of unfounded, excessive or repetitive requests, in which case we reserve the right to charge a proportionate administration fee or refuse.

If any of your personal information that we have stored is incorrect or incomplete, you can make a request for us to correct it at any time. Just send us an email at info@globalfabricstructures.com providing us with the updated information.

You may also request that we delete your personal information at any time. Please keep in mind that deleting your information is permanent and cannot be undone. It is not the same as unsubscribing from our mailing list. This means that we will lose all historical records and any interactions you have had with our systems, including previous instructions regarding your personal data. If you would rather just not receive our marketing emails, you can click ‘Unsubscribe’ at the bottom of any marketing email or send us an email directly at info@globalfabricstructures.com from the email address you wish to be unsubscribed.

If, after deletion, you voluntarily decide to resubmit your personal information and join our database again, you will be entered into the system as a brand new record with no prior history.

To request erasure of your personal information, including any preferences or agreements you may have set up, please email info@globalfabricstructures.com using the email address linked to the personal data we hold for you (or provide another means of proof of identity).
