1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected through our website (the “Site”) and communications submitted via our contact forms or sent directly to our published email addresses. This Site is intended for business users and professional contacts.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with the Site, we may collect the following categories of personal data:
- Information you provide: name, company, email address, phone number, and any information included in your message when submitting an enquiry.
- Information collected automatically: technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and approximate location derived from IP address (typically via standard server logs).
- Embedded services: if we embed third-party content (such as Google Maps), those providers may collect information about your device and activity when the embedded content loads.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to enquiries and provide requested information about our services.
- To manage and maintain business communications and client relationships.
- To operate, secure, and improve the Site (including troubleshooting and performance monitoring).
- To prevent fraud, spam, or misuse of our Site and systems.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights.
We do not sell personal data.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable under data protection laws, our legal basis for processing personal data includes legitimate interests (such as responding to business enquiries, operating and securing the Site), performance of a contract or steps prior to entering a contract, consent (where required), and compliance with legal obligations.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We do not run site analytics. The Site may use limited cookies that support essential functionality and security. Some embedded services (such as Google Maps) may also set cookies or use similar technologies in accordance with their own policies.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. You may delete existing cookies and configure your browser to block some or all cookies. If you block cookies, certain parts of the Site may not work as intended.
6. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party service providers to support the operation of the Site and communications, such as hosting providers and embedded map services. These providers may process personal data to provide their services. Their use of personal data is governed by their own privacy policies.
7. How We Share Your Information
We may share personal data:
- With employees and authorised representatives who need it to respond to your enquiry.
- With service providers who support our operations (e.g., hosting/IT support), under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
- Where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ADC and others.
8. International Transfers
ADC operates in multiple jurisdictions. Your personal data may be processed in countries other than where you are located, including where our offices and service providers operate. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place when personal data is transferred internationally.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to enquiries, maintaining business records, and complying with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations. When data is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it in accordance with our retention practices.
10. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no website or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, which can include requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, or objecting to certain processing. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
