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 Leadinfoโ€™s 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 organisationโ€™s 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.

Retention

Personal data collected via Leadinfo is retained for no longer than [e.g. 12 months], unless a longer period is required for legitimate business purposes.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyse how visitors use our website and to improve user experience.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as:

  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on the site
  • Device and browser information

This information is anonymised where possible and is only collected after you have provided consent via our cookie banner.

International transfers

Google may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as:

  • The UKโ€“US Data Bridge, or
  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved under UK GDPR

 

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.

Google processes this information on our behalf as a data processor under its applicable data processing terms.

Further information about how reCAPTCHA works can be found in Googleโ€™s reCAPTCHA documentation.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

  • Essential cookies are required for the website to function
  • Analytics and marketing cookies (including Google Analytics and Leadinfo) are only used with your consent

You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time via our cookie banner or browser settings.

For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.

 

7. Competitions and Promotions

When you enter a competition or promotion, we will use your personal data solely for the administration of that competition unless you have explicitly consented to further use.

Personal data will not be shared with unaffiliated third parties without your consent, unless required by law.

 

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

We may share data with:

  • IT and website service providers
  • Analytics and lead generation providers (e.g. Google, Leadinfo)
  • Professional advisers (legal, accounting)

All third parties are required to protect personal data in accordance with UK GDPR.
