How we handle your personal data.

Who we are

GWCONSULT LTD (GW Consult), registered in England and Wales with company number 16569764, is the controller of the personal data described here. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under registration number ZC052207. You can contact us about this notice through the contact form on this website.

What we collect

When you use the contact form we collect the details you give us: your name, email address, organisation and phone number if you provide them, the topic you choose and your message.

When you visit the website, our hosting provider processes your IP address and basic request information to deliver the pages, to protect the site from abuse, and to limit how many messages one connection can send. The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person, not a bot, is sending it.

Why we use it

We use your details to reply to your enquiry and, if you become a client, to provide our services. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Who else handles it

Cloudflare hosts this website, runs the Turnstile check and delivers form messages to our mailbox. Microsoft hosts our email. Both act as our processors under contract and may process data outside the UK under the safeguards UK law requires. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Cookies and analytics

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not identify individual visitors. The Turnstile check on the contact form may use technology that is strictly necessary to tell people and bots apart.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to 24 months after our last contact, unless they lead to work for you, in which case we keep them for as long as our contract and legal obligations require.

Your rights

You have the right to ask for a copy of your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to data portability. To use any of these rights, contact us through the form.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
