What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact forms

We currently use Ninja Forms (https://www.ninjaforms.com) hosted contact forms on our website. If you submit your details through our Ninja Forms contact form, your details and proof of form submission will be secured securely within the Ninja Forms system.

If you make a genuine product or sales enquiry through our contact form, your information may also be stored securely in Mailchimp (https://www.mailchimp.com) Email Marketing Software and Workflow Max (https://www.workflowmax.com) CRM Software for the purposes of keeping track of your information and contacting you if necessary with related product updates and marketing information.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

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

Analytics

Like millions of other website owners, we use Google Analytics on TLGEC.co.uk.

Google Analytics is a piece of software that grabs data about my visitors (you). It’s something like an advanced server log.

What does Google Analytics record?
  • What website you came from to get here.
  • How long you stay for.
  • What kind of computer you’re using.
  • And quite a bit more.
What do I do with your data?

The tracking information allows me to better understand the kind of people who come to my site and what content they’re reading. This allows us to make better decisions about design and writing.

Occasionally, we will compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting.

All of our activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.

You can opt out of Google’s advertising tracking cookie or use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software.

Who we share your data with

Wufoo, Mailchimp & Workflow Max as mentioned in Contact Forms section above.

How long we retain your data

If you make a product enquiry, or request to download our marketing information, your details will be securely stored for a maximum of 10 years or until you request for your details to be removed from our database.

What rights you have over your data

If you have made an enquiry with us, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
