What we collect and why
The enquiry form collects your name, company, email, optional telephone number, enquiry type and message. Where supplied, it also records the polymer, material form, quantity and postcode. We save your privacy acknowledgement, an enquiry reference and the submission date and time in UTC.
We use this information to assess and respond to your request, maintain enquiry records and protect the service. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in handling business enquiries and operating a secure website. Required fields enable us to understand and respond to your enquiry; please avoid including sensitive personal information.
Storage and service providers
Enquiries are stored in a secure database for North Vale’s enquiry handling and are not published. A successful submission displays a reference.
Hosting and database providers process information to operate the service. Their infrastructure may involve processing outside the UK. You can request details of the applicable processing and transfer arrangements by writing to us.
To limit repeated submissions, the form stores a temporary hashed network identifier, or hashed email fallback, with an attempt count and expiry. Expired entries are cleaned up as further requests are processed.
Retention and cookies
We keep enquiries only as needed to handle the request, maintain relevant business records or meet legal requirements. Retention depends on whether discussions remain active, whether a transaction follows and any applicable record-keeping duties.
This website includes no analytics or advertising tags, and no newsletter signup. Hosting services may use essential security cookies.
Staff portal and waste movement records
The staff portal records business contacts, site details, vehicle registrations, driver and operator names, weighings, waste descriptions, supporting documents and an audit history. These records support operations, waste duty of care and the environmental permit's record-keeping requirements.
Access is restricted to authorised accounts and assigned staff roles. The portal uses North Vale email-and-password sign-in. Hosting, application records and document storage use OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare services. Movement records and their amendments are retained for at least six years under the supplied permit; additional legal or regulatory retention may apply. Do not upload personal identity documents or unrelated personal information.
Staff account records include the sign-in email, name, role and password verification records. Password verification uses salted, one-way hashes. An essential session cookie keeps an authorised staff member signed in; session and security records support expiry, sign-out and protection against repeated sign-in attempts. Security events, including password changes and access changes, are recorded in the audit history.
For questions about these records or to exercise applicable data rights, contact Ellete Waste Ltd at the address above.
Your rights
You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal information where applicable. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact us at the postal address above.
You can raise a concern with us or complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
