We collect and use personal data for the following purposes:
3.1 Website visitors
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages visited, time and duration of your visit, and referring website. We collect this data using Google Analytics.
Lawful basis: Legitimate interests — understanding how our website is used allows us to improve it for visitors. Where you consent to analytics cookies, processing is based on your consent.
3.2 Enquiries and contact forms
If you contact us via our website contact form, email, or telephone, we collect your name, email address, telephone number, company name, and the details of your enquiry.
Lawful basis: Legitimate interests — responding to enquiries is a necessary part of conducting our business. Where an enquiry leads to a contract, we rely on taking steps prior to entering into a contract.
3.3 Recruitment and job applications
If you apply for a role with us (whether directly through our website, by email, or through a recruitment agency), we collect your name, address, email address, telephone number, curriculum vitae and employment history, qualifications and professional memberships, right to work documentation, and references.
Lawful basis: Taking steps prior to entering into an employment contract; legal obligation (right to work verification); legitimate interests in assessing suitability for roles.
Special category data: Where a role requires health-related information (for example, fitness for work or occupational health purposes), we will identify the specific lawful basis and obtain explicit consent or rely on a legal obligation at the relevant time.
3.4 Marketing communications
If you have subscribed to receive news or updates from us, or if you are an existing business contact and have not opted out, we may send you information about our services, projects, and industry news.
Lawful basis: Consent (where you have actively opted in); legitimate interests (where you are an existing business contact and the marketing relates to similar services — in accordance with PECR Regulation 6).
4. How Long We Keep Your Data
| Data type | Retention period |
| Website analytics data | 26 months (Google Analytics default setting) |
| Contact and enquiry records | 3 years from last contact |
| Unsuccessful job applications | 6 months from notification of outcome (unless you consent to longer retention for future roles) |

| Marketing preferences and communications | Until you opt out, then 3 years for suppression purposes |
We may retain data for longer periods where required by law or where there is a legitimate business reason (for example, pending or actual legal proceedings).

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with:
- Group companies: Other companies within the Axis CLC group where necessary to deliver services or manage our business operations.

6. International Transfers of Personal Data
Some of our service providers are located outside the United Kingdom, which means your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries that may not have the same level of data protection as the UK.
Where we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK GDPR and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025:
| Provider | Location | Transfer mechanism |
| Google LLC (Google Analytics) | United States | UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) / UK adequacy |
| ActiveCampaign LLC | United States | UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) |
You may request a copy of the relevant transfer safeguards by contacting us at data@axisclc.com.
7. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
Right of access (Subject Access Request): You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request. There is no charge for this service.
Right to rectification: You have the right to ask us to correct personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to erasure: You have the right to ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw your consent.
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.
Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to object: You have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where processing is necessary for legal claims.
Rights relating to automated decision-making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
How to exercise your rights: To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at data@axisclc.com or by post to our registered address. We may need to verify your identity before we can respond to your request.
