Contact: info@test4asbestos.uk.
What we collect and why
- Orders — name, delivery address and email address, used to fulfil your order,
send your kit and email your results (performance of our contract with you).
- Samples and results — the sample details you give us on your submission form are
passed, with your samples, to the UKAS-accredited laboratory that carries out the analysis,
and the results are returned to us to send to you.
- Payments — processed by our payment provider, Stripe, on its own secure payment
page. Stripe receives your name, email, delivery address and card details; we never see or
store your full card details. See stripe.com/gb/privacy.
- Delivery — your name and address are shared with Royal Mail to deliver your kit.
- Enquiries — anything you send us by email or through the contact form, used to
respond to you.
- Website — this site does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our hosting
provider (IONOS) keeps standard server logs, such as IP address and pages requested, for
security and to keep the site running. The site's typeface is loaded from Google Fonts,
so your browser's IP address is sent to Google when a page loads.
Your basket
Your shopping basket is stored only in your own browser (local storage) so it's still there
when you come back. It is not sent to us until you place an order.
Who we share data with
Only the organisations needed to fulfil your order — our payment provider, our delivery
carrier, the analysing laboratory, and our email and website hosting provider. We never sell
your data or use it for third-party marketing.
How long we keep data
Order and results records are kept for 6 years to meet legal and accounting obligations.
Enquiry emails are kept for 24 months.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, or object
to processing. Email info@test4asbestos.uk. You can also complain
to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
