How We Handle Your Information
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains, in plain terms, what information this website gathers, why we gather it and the choices you have. It should be read alongside our Terms of Use, which set out the wider rules for using the site.
What we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. The information we may hold falls into two groups:
- Details you give us, such as your name and email address when you send a message or sign up for updates.
- Details gathered automatically, such as the type of device and browser you use, the pages you visit, how long you stay and the general region you are browsing from.
We do not ask for payment details, and we never knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
How we use it
We use your information to reply to enquiries, send updates you have asked for, understand which pages are most helpful and fix problems on the site. We will not use your details for any purpose you would not reasonably expect.
Cookies
Cookies are small files saved by your browser. Some keep the site working properly, while others help us count visits and see which content is popular. You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, although a few features may not work as smoothly afterwards.
Sharing with others
We do not sell your personal information. We only share it with trusted service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting and analytics partners, and only as far as they need to do their job. We may also share information if the law requires it.
Keeping it safe
We take sensible steps to protect your data, including secure connections, restricted access and regular reviews of the services we rely on. No online system is completely risk-free, but we work hard to keep your details secure and hold them only for as long as they are needed.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you can ask to:
- see the information we hold about you;
- correct anything that is wrong or out of date;
- have your details deleted;
- object to or limit how we use them;
- stop receiving emails, using the unsubscribe link or by writing to us.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Updates to this policy
We may revise this page from time to time to reflect new legal requirements or changes to how the site works. Any update will appear here, so please check back now and then.
Get in touch
If you have a question or want to use any of your rights, email us at info@axehire.co.uk or use our contact page. We aim to respond within 30 days.
