5. Contact Enquiries
When you contact us through our website, we collect the details you enter in the form, including your name, email address and message. We use this information to respond to your enquiry and manage any follow-up correspondence. Submissions are sent to our email system and temporarily stored in our website’s database.
6. Website Analytics
We use Independent Analytics to understand how visitors use Professional Pickup, including which pages are read and how visitors reach the website. It operates without analytics cookies and stores statistics on our website’s server.
It processes IP addresses and browser information to estimate location and create a hashed visitor identifier, without storing the original IP address in its analytics database. The random value used to generate this identifier changes daily, limiting recognition of repeat visitors across days.

- Consent: Where you have explicitly consented to receiving marketing communications.

If your data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
10. Data Retention
We normally delete routine contact enquiries within 12 months of the last correspondence. This applies to emails and copies of submissions stored through our website’s contact form.
Where correspondence relates to a contract, transaction, complaint or legal matter, we may retain it for longer where necessary to meet our contractual or legal obligations, maintain accounting records, or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
