How EGM Foundry handles business contact data, website enquiries, technical data and cookies.

Last updated: 23 June 2026
Important: this policy is drafted for a B2B UK-facing website and should be reviewed against EGM Foundry’s final company details, hosting stack, analytics tools and email systems before publication.

1. Who we are

EGM Foundry Ltd (“EGM Foundry”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates this website and is the controller for personal data collected through it.

You can contact us at info@egmfoundry.com. Company registration details and registered office details should be inserted here once confirmed.

2. Personal data we collect

We collect limited business contact information when you contact us, request information or use the website. This may include:

  • name, business email address, organisation and role;
  • counterparty type, project focus, trade-flow information and message content submitted through the contact form;
  • technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, server logs and security logs;
  • email correspondence and relationship history where you choose to communicate with us.

3. How and why we use personal data

We use personal data for the following purposes and lawful bases:

  • Responding to enquiries: legitimate interests and, where relevant, steps before entering into a contract.
  • Business development and relationship management: legitimate interests in developing B2B relationships, subject to your rights and marketing rules.
  • Website operation, security and troubleshooting: legitimate interests in keeping the website secure and functional.
  • Legal and compliance purposes: legal obligations and legitimate interests in protecting our rights.

Where we use consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

4. Sharing, processors and international transfers

We may share personal data with hosting providers, email providers, IT support, professional advisers, compliance partners and other service providers where necessary. We require service providers to protect personal data and only use it for authorised purposes.

If personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will use appropriate safeguards where required, such as adequacy arrangements or approved contractual protections.

5. Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary. Typical retention periods are:

  • contact-form enquiries: up to 24 months unless a business relationship develops;
  • client, partner or transaction records: up to 6 years after the end of the relationship where needed for legal, accounting or evidence purposes;
  • server and security logs: usually up to 12 months unless needed for investigation or security purposes.

6. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to the use of your personal data, and to request portability where applicable. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

At launch, this website is intended to use only strictly necessary technologies required for website operation and security. If analytics, marketing pixels or non-essential cookies are added later, we should add a cookie banner/consent mechanism and update this policy.
