4. Leadinfo (Including Email Campaign Tracker)
We use the lead generation service Leadinfo B.V., Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to recognise business visitors to our website and to analyse interactions with our communications.
Website visitor recognition
Leadinfo recognises visits to our website based on IP addresses and publicly available information. This may include processing personal data such as IP addresses and online identifiers.
Our lawful basis for this processing is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR), specifically our interest in identifying and engaging with potential B2B customers. This interest is balanced against the rights and freedoms of website visitors.
Email Campaign Tracker
When you interact with our communications or features โ for example by submitting a form, opening our emails, clicking campaign-specific links, or engaging with our content โ we may process personal data to better understand and optimise our communications.
Data processed
When using Leadinfoโs Email Campaign Tracker, the following personal data may be processed:
- First name
- Last name
- Email address
- Interaction data (e.g. email opens and link clicks)
Recognition is signalled via campaign-specific mail tracking links. These signals are captured only when you interact with our emails or content.
Matching and enrichment
Captured interaction data is matched against known contacts in our Leadinfo environment:
- If a matching contact exists, the website session may be enriched with person-level data
- If no matching contact exists, the session remains anonymous
No personal data is inferred or enriched unless a match already exists within our own database.
Data scope and sharing
All recognition and matching:
- Occurs solely within our Leadinfo account and settings
- Is not shared with other Leadinfo customers
- Is not used outside our organisationโs environment
Leadinfo does not reuse or combine this data across customers.
Lawful basis
- Email communications and tracking: Consent
- Website session enrichment for known B2B contacts: Legitimate interest
You may withdraw your consent or object to this processing at any time.
Cookies and consent
Leadinfo places first-party cookies to support visitor recognition and campaign tracking. These cookies are only placed after you have given consent via our cookie banner.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to help protect our forms and services from spam, fraud, and automated abuse.
reCAPTCHA works by analysing user behaviour (for example, mouse movements, time spent on the page, IP address, browser information, and other device identifiers) to determine whether an interaction is carried out by a human or an automated system.
This processing is carried out for the purpose of ensuring the security and integrity of our website.
Lawful basis
Our lawful basis for using reCAPTCHA is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR), specifically to protect our website and users from malicious or automated activity.
