Legitimate interests, to respond to enquiries, manage business relationships and keep this website running securely
Consent, for marketing, e-newsletters and non-essential cookies, which you can withdraw at any time

Contact, quote and call back forms

Details you submit through forms on this website are sent by email to our team so we can respond. A copy of the submission may also be stored on the website. We keep these for as long as needed to handle your enquiry or any resulting business relationship.

E-newsletters

If you receive our e-newsletters we collect readership information including who has opened an email and how many times, which links have been clicked and estimated location. If you choose to unsubscribe you will be removed from the mailing list immediately.

We will never sell your information.

Hosting and site infrastructure

This website runs on WordPress. Our hosting provider processes technical data (such as IP addresses and request logs) as part of running and securing the site.

Keeping your information secure

We store information securely and limit access to staff and suppliers who need it.

Retention

We keep enquiry, quote and account data for as long as needed to manage the business relationship, meet contractual, accounting and tax obligations, and handle any disputes, after which it is deleted or anonymised. If you decide not to use our services, we will delete your enquiry.
