Privacy & Cookie Policy

This policy explains how {{ legalName }} collects, uses and protects your personal data, and how we use cookies on this website. Last updated {{ updated }}.

Who we are

This website is operated by {{ legalName }} (“BlueArc”, “we”, “us”), the data controller responsible for your personal data.

Registered office: {{ regAddress }}.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, contact us at {{ email }} or by phone on {{ phone }}.

Information we collect

We only collect personal data that you choose to give us, or that is generated automatically when you use the site:

  • Enquiries. When you complete our contact form or email us, we collect your name, email address and the details of your message so we can respond.
  • Usage data. With your consent, we collect anonymised statistics about how visitors use the site — pages viewed, approximate location (country/city level), device and referral source — through Google Analytics.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We keep our use of them to a minimum. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them — until then, analytics is disabled by default using Google Consent Mode.

Category
Purpose

Strictly necessary

Always active

Remembers your cookie choice so we don’t ask again. Stored locally on your device; sets no tracking cookies and shares nothing with third parties.

Analytics

Optional — consent required

Google Analytics 4 (cookies _ga, _ga_…) helps us understand which pages are useful so we can improve the site. IP addresses are anonymised. Set only if you accept.

You can change your choice at any time using the control, or by clearing cookies and site data in your browser settings.

Legal basis for processing

Under the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent — for analytics cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests — to respond to your enquiry and to keep our website secure and functioning.

Sharing & international transfers

We use trusted service providers who process data on our behalf: Google (analytics) and our contact-form provider. These providers act as processors under contract. Where data is transferred outside the UK/EEA, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep your data

We keep enquiry correspondence only for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards for our records. Analytics data is retained in aggregate for a limited period in line with our Google Analytics settings.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, email {{ email }}.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) or the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).
