Privacy Policy
At Indesign Bathrooms & Kitchens we recognise and appreciate the importance our customers place on privacy and the security of their personal information. Our goal is to protect your personal information in every way that we can when we interact with you, whether it's on the phone, in our showroom, or on the internet.
We think it is important for you to be informed of the policies, procedures, and security measures we have in place to safeguard your personal and confidential information.

We may utilise the services of third party providers to assist us in providing online services, such as website hosting. These third party providers are referred to within this policy as service providers.
