Privacy Policy

Beesleys Tools Ltd ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal data when you visit our website or contact us, and how we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who we are

Beesleys Tools Ltd is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 14236914. Our registered office is at 1 Beatrice Street, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN2 1BB, United Kingdom. For the purposes of UK data protection law, we are the data controller of any personal data you provide to us.

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

• Contact form submissions: your full name, company name, email address, and the contents of any message you send us through the contact form on our website.
• Direct correspondence: information you provide when you email us or otherwise communicate with us, including any attachments.
• Technical information: limited technical data such as your browser type and the date and time of your visit, where this is necessary for the secure operation of the website.

We do not knowingly collect any special category data through this website.

3. How we use your data

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to enquiries you submit through the contact form or by email.
• To provide information, services or quotations that you request.
• To maintain accurate business records of communications with clients and partners.
• To comply with our legal, regulatory and accounting obligations.
• To protect the security and integrity of our website and business systems.

4. Lawful bases for processing

We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR Article 6 to process your personal data:

• Consent: where you actively submit information to us via the contact form or by email, you consent to us using that information to reply to your enquiry.
• Legitimate interests: processing necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, maintaining, securing and developing our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Legal obligation: where we are required to retain or disclose information to comply with UK law.

5. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share personal data with trusted third parties only where necessary to operate our business, such as our email service provider, IT support providers, professional advisers (including accountants and lawyers), or where we are required to do so by law or by a competent regulatory authority. Any third party we use is required to safeguard your data in line with applicable UK data protection law.

6. International transfers

We aim to store and process personal data within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA) wherever possible. If any transfer of personal data outside the UK or EEA is required, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards (such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Contact form enquiries and related correspondence are typically retained for up to 24 months from the date of our last interaction with you, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with our legal, accounting or regulatory obligations. Data that is no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised.
