Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 September 2026
The Tools and Tech is responsible for the personal information processed through this website. This policy explains what may be collected, why it is used and the choices available to visitors.
Information we may collect
- Information submitted through the contact form, such as your name, email address, enquiry type and message.
- Basic technical and security logs, such as IP address, browser details, requested pages and timestamps, where required to operate and protect the website.
- Analytics and advertising information only where the relevant technology is enabled and, where required, consent has been obtained.
- Outbound-link and affiliate-click information, which may include the destination merchant and originating page.
Why we use information
Information is used to answer enquiries, operate and secure the website, understand which content is useful, correct problems, comply with legal obligations and administer clearly disclosed commercial relationships. We do not sell contact-form information.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
Essential technologies may be used to keep the website secure and functioning. Analytics, advertising or personalisation technologies will be controlled through the site consent mechanism where required. Read the Advertising & Cookie Notice for more information.
Affiliate and external websites
Some links take visitors to manufacturers, retailers, software services or other websites. Those organisations process information under their own privacy policies. An affiliate network or merchant may record a referral after an eligible link is used.
Retention and security
Contact enquiries are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage the relationship, resolve disputes or meet legal requirements. Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect information, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your UK data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your information, object to processing, or request portability. Consent can be withdrawn where consent is the lawful basis. Use the Contact page to make a request. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
International services
Technology suppliers, analytics providers, affiliate networks or merchants may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, the relevant provider is expected to use an appropriate legal transfer mechanism.
Children
This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian should contact us if they believe a child has supplied personal information.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, its suppliers or legal requirements change. The revision date at the top will be updated when material changes are made.
