Privacy Policy

Your information will be held by Beaconzone Ltd, company number 2693597 registered in England. We are registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office under registration reference Z9338410.

Beaconzone only sells business to business (B2B) hence most of the information we hold is business contact information. Nevertheless, we process a small amount of personal information, usually just your name, ip address and cookies and we therefore look after this personal information as per European GDPR legislation. 

European Data Protection law (GDPR) says that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a lawful reason to do so. The law says we must have one or more of these reasons:

To fulfil a contract we have with you, OR

When it is our legal duty, OR

• to grow our business and to develop and carry out marketing activities,
• to perform legally required administrative activities such as bookkeeping and accounting

The above uses enable us to fulfil contracts, satisfy our legitimate interests and perform our legal duty. Our legitimate interests are selling products and services and providing pre and post sales support.
