2. What Data We Collect

We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us. When you submit the contact form on this website, we collect:

• Your name

We will not add you to a mailing list, send you marketing communications, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

4. Our Legal Basis

Under UK GDPR, we process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, to respond to an enquiry you have initiated. Providing your details via the contact form is entirely voluntary.

5. Third-Party Processors

Contact form submissions are processed by Formspree (formspree.io), which forwards them securely to our email inbox. Formspree acts as a data processor on our behalf. Their privacy policy is available at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

This website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may process connection metadata (such as IP addresses) as part of standard web hosting. Their privacy policy is available at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We do not share your personal data with any other third parties.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain contact form submissions for as long as is necessary to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up. If no business relationship is established, we will delete your information within 12 months of our last communication.

7. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — ask us to correct any inaccurate data
• Erasure — ask us to delete your data where there is no legitimate reason to retain it
• Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances
• Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@ruddaautomations.com. We will respond within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have not handled your data appropriately.
