The Information You Give Us
Our enquiry form asks for your name, work email, company and website, and lets you add a phone number and a message. That is all we receive from it.
We also store a one-way hash of the IP address each enquiry came from. It cannot be reversed, and its only job is to stop a single source sending us dozens of messages a day.
We count visits to our pages without cookies and without storing anything on your device. To tell one visit from another we use a code made from your connection and browser that changes every day and cannot be reversed. Your IP address and browser details are never stored.
The site sets no advertising cookies. If you press Yes in our cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to see which pages are read; it sets its own cookies, whose names begin with _ga, and they last up to two years unless you clear them. Press No thanks and nothing from Google Analytics loads. You can change your answer at any time with Cookie settings at the foot of every page.
Its fonts are served by Google Fonts, which means your browser requests them from Google.
Why We Use It
Only to answer your enquiry and, where you want to go further, to prepare a proposal and deliver the work. Your details will not be sold, rented or added to a marketing list.
The lawful basis under UK GDPR is our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries, together with steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.
Who Processes It
Enquiries go to the members of our team who deal with new business. Our hosting, database and email are provided by third-party services that process the data on our behalf, under written terms and for no purpose of their own.
Where one of them handles data outside the UK, the transfer relies on safeguards approved under UK law.
Retention
We hold an enquiry while it is needed to answer it and to manage any engagement that follows. Enquiries that go no further are deleted once we no longer need them, or earlier if you ask.
Your Rights
You may ask for a copy of your data, for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to our use of it, by writing to hello@seocompanyreading.co.uk. We respond within one month.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
