Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is the policy of Technical Methods Limited to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across this website.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the rights you hold over it. It applies to the website at technicalmethods.co.uk and to any enquiry you send us through it.

Technical Methods Limited is a company registered in England and Wales under company number 11010255, with its registered office at Eagle House, 163 City Road, London EC1V 1NR. For the purposes of UK data protection law, Technical Methods Limited is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

1. Our privacy commitment

We hold to a small set of principles in everything we do with personal data.

• We only ask for personal data when we genuinely need it to deal with your enquiry or to provide a service.
• We collect data by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent, and we tell you why we are collecting it and how it will be used.
• We do not share personal data with third parties except where we are required to do so by law.
• We only retain personal data for as long as is necessary to provide the service requested or to meet a legal obligation.
• We protect the personal data we hold using commercially reasonable measures to guard against loss, theft, and unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

2. What data we collect

This website is primarily informational. We do not collect personal data simply because you browse the site. We collect personal data only when you choose to give it to us.

When you complete and submit the enquiry form on our Contact page, we collect the information you enter, which may include:

• your full name;
• your organisation;
• your role;
• your email address;
• the type of opportunity you are contacting us about; and
• the content of any message you write to us.

We may also receive limited technical data, such as an Internet Protocol address, when you visit the site. This data is not used to identify you personally.

3. Lawful basis for processing

UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. When you submit an enquiry to us, we rely on the following bases.

• Consent. By submitting the enquiry form, you consent to us using your details to respond to you. You may withdraw this consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests. We have a legitimate interest in reading, assessing, and responding to enquiries about development opportunities and partnerships, and in keeping a record of our correspondence with you.

If we ever need to process your data for a purpose other than the one for which it was collected, we will tell you and, where required, ask for your consent first.

4. How we use your data

We use the personal data you provide only to:

• respond to your enquiry and correspond with you about it;
• assess a development opportunity, site, or partnership you have raised; and
• keep a record of our communication for our own administrative purposes.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making, and we do not send marketing communications without a separate, clear opt-in from you.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own purposes.

We may disclose personal data where the law requires it, for example in response to a valid request from a court, a regulator, or a law enforcement body. Where we use a service provider to host the website or process form submissions on our behalf, that provider acts only on our instructions and is bound to keep your data secure.

6. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Enquiry correspondence is retained for three months from the date of last contact, after which it is securely deleted. Where a longer retention is required to meet a specific legal or administrative obligation, the data is kept only for the period that obligation demands.

7. Data security

We take the security of personal data seriously. We apply commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold against loss, theft, and unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data sent to us online.

8. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have a number of rights over your personal data. You have the right to:

• be informed about how your data is used;
• access the personal data we hold about you;
• request that inaccurate or incomplete data is corrected;
• request that your data is erased, where there is no continuing reason for us to hold it;
• restrict or object to our processing of your data;
• request the transfer of your data to another organisation; and
• withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent to process your data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the section below. We will respond within the time limits set by law. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection, at ico.org.uk.
