What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Contact forms and trade enquiries

When you send us a message through our contact or trade enquiry forms, we collect the information you enter, such as your name, company name, email address, phone number, location and any details you choose to include in your message.

We use this information to respond to your enquiry, to provide quotations and to manage ongoing relationships with trade customers.

Comments

If comments are enabled on any part of this site and you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can read the Gravatar privacy policy at: https://automattic.com/privacy/

After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images if it is present.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not need to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to store your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will remain active for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply records the ID of the post you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those other websites directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data.

If you request a password reset for a user account, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

We may also use third-party services for spam detection, email delivery or website hosting. These providers only receive the information they need in order to supply their service.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

If you submit a contact or trade enquiry form, we may keep your message and contact details for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and maintain records of our communications.

For users who register on the website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments or submitted enquiries, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

To make a request, please contact us using the details on our Contact page.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Data submitted through forms may be processed by our hosting provider and email provider in order to deliver messages and maintain the security and performance of this website.
