3. What personal data we collect
On our Website we collect the following types of personal data:

  • We set basic cookies when you visit the Website (see Section 5).
  • If you choose to call us or email us having found our contact details via the Website, we process the personal data you provide to us in that communication (for example: your name, email address, telephone number, the content of your message).

We do not sell products via the Website and we do not collect other types of personal data (such as payment data, user accounts, etc.) through the Website.

4. How and why we use your personal data; lawful basis
We use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your email or telephone enquiry (you initiate this contact). Our lawful basis is your consent (i.e., you proactively contacting us) and/or the performance of steps at your request prior to any contract (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and (b)).
  • For cookies: where non‑essential cookies are used we rely on your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 requirements. For strictly necessary cookies we rely on the “technical storage/access” exemption under PECR.
  • We will only process your personal data for the purpose(s) for which it was collected (principle of purpose limitation) and will ensure it is relevant and limited to what is necessary (data minimisation).

5. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies on the Website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites. See further below for our cookie practices.

  • Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function. These may be set without your consent under PECR.
  • For non‑essential cookies (for example analytics, tracking) we will ask for your consent before placing them. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.
  • When cookies are used, we will clearly inform you what cookies we use, the purpose, how long they last, and you must have the right to withdraw consent as easily as you gave it.
  • You may control cookies through your browser settings or via the consent banner/tool we provide.

6. How long we keep your personal data
We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting or reporting obligations. When determining retention periods we use criteria such as the nature of the data, the purposes for which we process it, whether we can achieve those purposes in another way, and whether legal obligations apply. We will delete or anonymise data when no longer required.

 7. Sharing your personal data
We will not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data only as necessary for the purpose for which you provided it (for example: if you email us requesting further information, we may share your request with internal teams). We will ensure that any third party with whom we share data processes it in accordance with UK GDPR and implements appropriate security.

8. International transfers of personal data
At present we do not transfer your personal data outside the UK or the European Economic Area. If at any time we do, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place (for example UK GDPR standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions) in line with Article 46 UK GDPR.

9. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have several rights in relation to your personal data, including:

  • The right to be informed (this policy provides that).
  • The right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to rectification: you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances.
  • The right to restriction of processing.
  • The right to data portability (in applicable situations).
  • The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests (though our processing is not generally on that legal basis).
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time (for processing based on consent).
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in the UK: Information Commissioner’s Office).

If you wish to exercise any of these rights please contact us using the contact details in Section 2.

10. Security
We have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, consistent with the UK GDPR principle of integrity and confidentiality.

11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on the Website and update the “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
