We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data under the following lawful bases (UK GDPR):

  • Consent: when you submit a contact form or subscribe to communications
  • Legitimate interest: to respond to enquiries and improve our services
  • Contract: to deliver services you have purchased

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months unless you request earlier deletion.

6. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@drakos-systems.co.uk.

7. Cookies and Analytics

We use essential server logs for security and performance monitoring. These are necessary for the site to run safely and do not require consent.

We also use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, pages viewed, time on site and a truncated IP address. This data helps us measure traffic and improve our content and services.

Google Analytics is a non-essential analytics tool, so we only load it if you give consent. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject analytics cookies, and analytics cookies are not set unless you accept. We use Google Consent Mode, which keeps analytics storage disabled by default until you choose to accept. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies and site data in your browser, which will make the consent banner appear again.

The legal basis for analytics cookies is your consent. We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies. Analytics data is processed by Google as our processor and may be transferred outside the UK under Google's safeguards. For more detail, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google's browser opt-out add-on.

8. Third-Party Services

We use selected third-party services (such as email hosting and Google Analytics) to deliver and improve our services. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data in accordance with UK GDPR.

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews. Services are delivered using selected supplier platforms that hold ISO 27001 certification where applicable.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

11. Contact & Complaints

If you have questions about this policy or wish to make a complaint, contact us at contact@drakos-systems.co.uk.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
