Privacy & Cookie Policy

This Privacy & Cookie Policy applies to the website www.oilrecoveries.co.uk owned by Oil Recoveries Ltd. Please read this Privacy & Cookie Policy carefully before viewing this website further. Usage of the website is conditional upon you agreeing to be bound by this Privacy & Cookie Policy.

Your Personal Data is important to us

Oil Recoveries recognises the importance of your privacy and your right to control how your personal information is collected and used. This Privacy & Cookie Policy is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Collecting Personal Data about you

Oil Recoveries will not process personal data about you without a lawful basis. We will only collect personal data that you provide to us, that has lawfully been disclosed to us by relevant authorities, or that already exists in the public domain.

If you request a service or contact us through our website, we will collect only the personal data necessary to provide those services. This may include your name, company name, email address, phone number, address, records of enquiry and correspondence, and any other information reasonably required to fulfil your request.

We may also collect certain information automatically when you visit our website, including IP address, browser type, device information and website usage data.

Processing and sharing your Personal Data

Oil Recoveries will not process or share personal data except for the purposes of providing our services, responding to enquiries, improving our website, or where required by law.

We use trusted third‑party service providers to support our business operations, including:

• Google Analytics – to measure and analyse how visitors use our website
• Dealfront / Leadfeeder – to identify business visitors and analyse company-level website activity
• Mailchimp – to manage email communications

These providers process data on our behalf and are required to protect your information in accordance with data protection law. Some data may be processed outside the UK; where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are in place.

We may also share personal data with professional advisers or regulatory authorities where we are legally required to do so.

Retaining Personal Data about you

Personal data is held securely on our business systems and access is restricted to authorised personnel. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to deliver requested services and to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations.

Marketing and communications

We may contact you using the email address you provide, or an email address that is publicly available, to send relevant information about our services or updates to our Privacy Policy. Marketing emails are managed via Mailchimp.

If you do not wish to receive marketing communications, you may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly. Please allow up to seven days for your request to be processed.

Subject Access Request (SAR)

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, to object to processing, to restrict access, or to request deletion of your data where legally permitted.

To make a request, please contact us at:
Email: info@oilrecoveries.co.uk

We will respond to all valid requests within the timeframes required by law and will keep you informed of the progress and outcome of your request.

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

Security of your Personal Data

Oil Recoveries implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to external websites. These sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.

Future changes

We regularly review this Privacy & Cookie Policy to ensure ongoing legal compliance and to reflect operational changes. We reserve the right to update this policy at any time by posting a revised version on our website. The updated policy will apply from the date of publication.

Cookies on this website, what they are and how you consent

This website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Some cookies are essential for basic site functionality (such as WordPress core features, session functions, security and emoji support). These essential cookies do not require consent because they are necessary for the website to operate.

Other cookies we use – for example, analytics and marketing cookies – are optional and placed only after you give clear consent.

When you first visit the site, a cookie consent banner will appear. We will only set optional cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies) after you actively choose to accept them. Simply continuing to browse the site is not treated as valid consent under UK law.

What types of cookies we use

How to manage your cookies

You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer (or your browser settings). Withdrawing consent will prevent optional cookies from being placed in the future but will not remove cookies already stored – you can remove those via your browser settings.

Measuring our visitors

We use Google Analytics to measure visitor activity on our website. This service records pages viewed, how visitors arrive at the site, and general technical information about devices used. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

We also use Dealfront / Leadfeeder to analyse business visitor activity at a company level. This helps us understand interest in our services and improve our business communications.

Analytics information helps us understand how our website is used and how we can improve it.
