Like many businesses, we use website visitor tracking software and telephone call recording to see how this website and our company is performing. We use this data to try and better understand and monitor things such as:

  • The number of website visitors we get
  • Which search engine they are using
  • Whether they are clicking on our paid advertising links or free search result
  • Keeping a record of what was said and by whom

The above list is not exhaustive but gives you a few examples of why and how we use the statistics we gather. In short, we monitor activity throughout our website using a third-party company BambooNine.co.uk, who in turn, use Mediahawk.co.uk to improve our Digital Marketing using Cookies (see also point 4 below). We track which sources are effective at helping visitors find our website and make calls to us. We use IP addresses, geo-location data, caller telephone number, and voice recordings.

If you contact us using the contact form on our website, or via an email link on one of our website pages, none of the data you provide will be stored in our website's database. Email enquiries we receive via the website are stored on a UK based server. Our office staff retrieve these emails and may store them on (or delete them from) the server, or their office computers in order to carry out their normal day-to-day activities efficiently. When contacting us via email, we recommend that you only provide us with information that you consider necessary for us to give you an accurate response. In other words, please avoid sending us confidential or otherwise sensitive information in your email.
