Privacy Policy

Last updated: [Date placeholder]

This website is operated by Meridian Precision [legal entity name and registered address placeholder], referred to below as “we” or “us”. We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy.

1. What data we collect

We only collect data you choose to give us, plus limited technical data needed to serve the site:

• Enquiry data — the name, email address, optional phone number, enquiry type and message you submit through the contact form, together with your consent confirmation.
• Correspondence — the content of emails or calls if you contact us directly.
• Server log data — standard web-server records such as IP address, browser type, requested page and timestamp, generated automatically by our hosting provider.

This site does not run advertising networks, behavioural profiling or third-party analytics trackers by default. If you add such tools later, this policy must be updated to describe them.

2. Why we use it and on what legal basis

• To answer your enquiry and prepare a quotation — based on your consent and on steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract.
• To perform an agreed contract — where you become a customer or supplier.
• To keep the website secure and working — based on our legitimate interest in preventing abuse and diagnosing faults.
• To meet legal obligations — for example retaining commercial and accounting records.

3. Contact form specifics

The contact form validates your input in your browser. Message delivery depends on the sending mechanism connected by the site operator [describe your email or form provider here]. Do not submit sensitive personal data or confidential technical files through the form; use the email address on the contact page instead.

4. Who can access your data

Access is limited to staff who need it to answer your enquiry. We may share data with service providers acting on our instructions, such as our hosting provider, email provider and, where relevant, professional advisers. We do not sell personal data.

5. International transfers

If a provider processes data outside your country, we rely on the safeguards offered by that provider, such as standard contractual clauses. [List your providers and their locations.]

6. How long we keep data

• Unsuccessful enquiries: retained for up to 12 months, then deleted.
• Customer and project records: retained for the duration of the business relationship and any statutory retention period that follows.
• Server logs: retained for the period set by our hosting provider [insert period].

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, a portable copy, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.

To exercise a right, email privacy@example.com [Placeholder]. You also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.

8. Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection and access to enquiry data is restricted. No online transmission is completely secure, so please avoid sending confidential material through public channels.

9. Cookies

Cookie use is described separately in our Cookie Policy.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the website or our processes change. The revision date at the top always reflects the current version.
