Our lawful bases for using your information

UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending upon the circumstances, we may rely upon:

Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary for the legitimate operation of our business, including responding to business enquiries, communicating with existing and prospective customers and suppliers, maintaining business relationships and protecting our website, systems and business.

When relying on legitimate interests, we consider whether our interests are balanced against your rights, interests and reasonable expectations.

Contract – where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to perform a contract with you.

Consent – where you have specifically consented to us using your information for a particular purpose. Where we rely upon consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

Legal obligation – where processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal, regulatory, taxation or accounting requirement.

Contact forms and enquiries

Information submitted through our website contact form will be used to deal with your enquiry and provide relevant information about our products and services.

Information from an enquiry may subsequently form part of our business records where it results in a quotation, customer relationship or other legitimate business activity.

We do not use information submitted through our website contact form for unrelated unsolicited marketing.

Cookies and website technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies where necessary for the operation, functionality and security of the website.

If we introduce additional cookies, analytics or tracking technologies, we will update our information about their use and, where required by law, obtain appropriate consent before those technologies are used.

Further information about any cookies used by our website may be provided in our Cookie Policy or cookie settings where applicable.

Website hosting and service providers

Our website is built using WordPress and is hosted by a third-party hosting provider.

We may use trusted third-party organisations to provide services such as:

• website hosting and maintenance;
• IT and cybersecurity support;
• email and communications;
• data storage and backup; and
• other services necessary to operate our business.

These organisations may process limited personal information on our behalf where this is necessary to provide their services.

Where a supplier processes personal information on our behalf, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

Sharing your information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

We may share information where reasonably necessary with:

• service providers acting on our behalf;
• professional advisers, such as accountants, auditors or legal advisers;
• organisations involved in fulfilling a contract or customer requirement; or
• government, regulatory, law-enforcement or other authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

We require appropriate protection for personal information when it is shared with third parties.

International transfers

Some organisations providing technology, hosting, communications or other services to us may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with UK data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.

How we protect your information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

These measures include appropriate access controls, system security, software maintenance, backups and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being processed.

Access to personal information is restricted to employees, contractors and service providers who require it for legitimate business purposes.

How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet any legal, contractual, accounting or regulatory requirements.

As a general guide:

• routine website enquiries that do not result in an ongoing business relationship will normally be retained for no longer than 24 Months after the last meaningful contact;
• quotations, customer and supplier information may be retained for the duration of the business relationship and for an appropriate period afterwards; and
• financial, contractual and transaction records will be retained for the period required by applicable legal, taxation and accounting requirements.

Where no specific retention period applies, we consider the purpose for which the information was collected, whether it remains necessary and any legal or contractual requirements.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

Your data protection rights

Depending upon the circumstances and the lawful basis on which we process your information, UK data protection law may give you the right to:

• request access to personal information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances;
• request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• object to certain uses of your personal information;
• request the transfer of certain information to you or another organisation where the right to data portability applies; and
• withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based upon consent.

These rights do not apply in every circumstance and may be subject to exemptions under applicable law.

If you wish to exercise a data protection right, please contact our privacy contact using the details given in this Privacy Notice.

Where we process your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing in certain circumstances.

You also have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
