If you are an existing customer, we will only contact you by electronic means with information about goods and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale to you.

We may also pass your information to other members or associates of the JCB group of companies and their dealers but we will not pass this information to any organisation outside of this group. You acknowledge and agree that your information may be transferred to our offices operating in countries outside the EEA. We will use our reasonable efforts to maintain the security of your information, but we cannot guarantee the privacy of personal information you transmit over the web or that may be collectable in transit by others, including contractors who provide services to us.

By using our site, you consent to our storage and use of your information for the purposes set out above.

Our site contains links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the other sites' privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.

When you visit our website we send you a cookie. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

Cookies may be used in the following ways:

To enable the personalisation features on our website (which give you the ability to recall recently viewed pages and see information which you have input on line).
To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our site and to help us improve the structure of our website. We cannot identify you personally in this way.

Two types of cookies may be used on this website, session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled.

We employ security measures to prevent unauthorised access to information that we collect online. However, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

If you have any questions or concerns about the privacy policy for JCB or its implementation, you may contact us at jo.lloyd-davies@jcb.com If at any time you decide that we should not longer hold any of your personal data, or wish to change the use to which any such data can be put, please let us know by emailing us at unsubscribe@jcb.com.
