Privacy Policy
How we handle personal information collected through businessfinders.co.uk.
Last updated: July 2026
Who we are
This site (businessfinders.co.uk) is operated by Business Finder Directories. If you need to contact us about anything on this page, email craig@ascotgraphics.co.uk or call 07771 538661.
What information we collect
We only collect personal information you actively give us. That means:
- When you submit an enquiry form – your name, email address, phone number (if provided), business name (if provided), the edition you’re interested in, and the content of your message.
- When you email or call us – any information you choose to share in that communication.
We do not use invasive tracking cookies, sell your data to third parties, or add you to marketing lists without your consent.
How we use it
We use the information you give us to:
- Respond to your enquiry
- Discuss advertising options if you’ve asked about them
- Follow up on any specific request you’ve made
That’s it. We don’t use your details for anything else without asking you first.
Website analytics
We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are visited and how people find the site. Our analytics tool doesn’t use cookies, doesn’t track you across other websites, and doesn’t collect personal information – it just counts anonymous page views.
How long we keep it
Enquiries and correspondence are kept for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the request and any follow-up – typically no longer than 24 months unless there’s an ongoing business relationship. After that we’ll delete the records.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. The only times we might share information are:
- Our email/hosting provider – who technically process emails and website requests on our behalf
- If required by law – for example, in response to a valid legal request
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- Ask what personal data we hold about you
- Request corrections to inaccurate data
- Request that we delete your data
- Object to how we’re using your data
- Complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk)
To exercise any of these, email us at craig@ascotgraphics.co.uk and we’ll respond as soon as possible.
