Why we value your privacy

We value your privacy as much as we do our own, so we’re committed to keeping your personal and business information safe. We’re uncomfortable with the information companies, governments, and other organisations keep on file, so we ask for only the bare minimum from our customers. We’ll never use your personal information for any reason other than why you gave it, and we’ll never give anyone access to it unless we’re forced to by law.

How we collect information

We ask for contact information including your name, email address, and phone number, on our website so that we can reply to your enquiry.

Our website doesn’t use cookies or scripts that were designed to track the websites you visit. We don’t use native social media ‘like’ or ‘sharing’ buttons which also build profiles of your internet activity. We use Google Analytics to measure traffic levels to our website, but your visit remains anonymous.

What information we hold

When you contact us by email or through our website, we collect your name, email address, and phone number, along with your enquiry.

Where we store your information

When you contact us through our website, we store your your information in WordPress, our Content Management System (CMS). Your contact information is also sent by email to hello@waterloocheltenham.co.uk via a secure third party called Postmark.

What we use your information for

We only use the contact information you provide on this website to respond to your enquiry. We do not use your contact information to promote our products and services to you.

The steps we take to keep your information private

Where we store your information in third-party services, we restrict access only to people who need it.
