Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Dastute Technologies Limited handles information submitted through this website.

Information We Collect

We may collect name, company details, email, phone number, and message content submitted via contact forms or direct communication.

We may also collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, typically via standard web server logs and analytics tools.

How We Use Information

We use submitted information to:

• Respond to enquiries and provide requested services.
• Improve the quality, security, and performance of our services and website.
• Communicate about updates, service changes, and events where legally permitted.

We do not sell personal data.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for business, operational, and legal purposes. Retention periods may differ based on regulatory requirements and the nature of the engagement.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in line with internal policies.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your data, subject to legal or contractual obligations.
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing.

To exercise your rights, contact contact@dastute.co.uk.

Cookies & Analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use this website. These tools typically collect pseudonymised or anonymised data such as page views, browser type, device type, and time spent on pages.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some features of the site may not function correctly without them.

Third-Party Services

Some data may be processed by trusted third-party providers, such as:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Email and communication platforms.
• Analytics and performance monitoring services.

These providers are engaged under appropriate data processing agreements and are not permitted to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

Security Measures

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including:

• Encryption for data in transit and, where appropriate, at rest.
• Access controls and authentication mechanisms limiting who can access data.
• Logging and monitoring of access to systems that store personal information.
• Regular review and improvement of security controls.

While no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, Dastute is committed to maintaining security practices that align with recognised standards and compliance expectations.

International Transfers

Because Dastute operates in multiple regions, data may be processed in or transferred between countries where we or our service providers maintain operations.

Where required, appropriate safeguards are applied, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms, to protect your data during cross-border transfers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Continued use of the website after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

UK Data Protection Law

Dastute Technologies Limited is registered in England and Wales (Company No. 17019407) and is subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. These laws govern how we collect, use, store, and share personal data about individuals in the United Kingdom.

The UK GDPR is the retained version of the EU GDPR as it applies in the UK following the end of the Brexit transition period. It is enforced by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which is the UK's independent data protection regulator.

Our lawful bases for processing personal data include:

• Legitimate interests — responding to business enquiries and improving our services.
• Contract performance — processing data necessary to deliver agreed services to clients.
• Legal obligation — where processing is required by applicable law or regulation.
• Consent — where we explicitly request your consent before processing (e.g., marketing communications).

Under UK GDPR, UK-based individuals have the right to: access their personal data; rectify inaccurate data; request erasure; restrict or object to processing; and data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@dastute.co.uk. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
