CONTACT FORM:

- Purpose and Basis: Your inputted data is stored to facilitate personalized communication. This requires a valid e-mail address and name, aiding in the categorization and reply to your query. Additional data provision is optional. This processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art 6 para. 1 lit. f UK GDPR). For quote inquiries, data from the contact form will be processed for pre-contractual actions (Art 6 para. 1 lit. b UK GDPR).

USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS:

- Purpose and Basis: This site utilizes Google Analytics for analysing site usage. Google Analytics leverages "cookies" to analyse your use. Data generated is generally sent and stored on a US-based Google server. However, IP anonymization on this site means your IP address is truncated by Google within the European Economic Area. Only in rare scenarios is the full IP transferred and truncated in the US. Google will evaluate website usage on our behalf, compile activity reports, and offer additional internet and website usage services. The IP address forwarded by Google Analytics will not be amalgamated with other Google data. This data processing relies on user consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a UK GDPR).
- Recipients: Google acts as our data processor, and we've entered into a corresponding agreement with them.
- Retention Period* Data is purged when no longer essential for our documentation.
- International Data Transfer: Google processes data in the US. Although Google adheres to the EU-US Privacy Shield, we've also entered into standard contractual clauses with them for added protection. - Mandatory Provision: Granting access to your personal data is voluntary and based on your consent. If denied, it may result in diminished website functionality.

You can opt out by setting up your browser to reject cookies. Alternatively, you can prevent Google from processing cookie-generated data (including your IP) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
