Our Data Philosophy: Our Promises to You
Purpose Limitation
We only collect data for a specific, stated purpose—like replying to your message or improving our site. We don't collect data "just in case."
Data Minimization
We only ask for the information we truly need. We'll never ask for unnecessary personal data. Less data means less risk for everyone.
Security by Design
We build our systems with security in mind from day one. Our maintenance and development processes prioritize protecting your information.
The Full Policy in Detail
1. Who We Are
Garage2Global ("we", "us", "our") is a digital growth agency. This policy applies to our website, garage2global.org.uk, and all related marketing services.
2. The Information We Collect & Why
We are committed to a transparent content strategy, and that includes being transparent about data. Here’s a detailed look at what we collect:
- When you contact us: If you fill out our contact form, we collect your name, email, company, and any message you send. We use this to respond to your request and see if we're a good fit. This is a key part of our inbound marketing process.
- When you browse our site (Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand user behavior—like which pages are popular, how long people stay, and what content is most helpful. This data is aggregated and anonymized; we cannot personally identify you from it. This helps us refine our content strategy and improve our website's site loading performance.
3. How We Use Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for two main reasons:
- Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the site to function correctly.
- Analytics Cookies: These help us measure analytics traffic and see how our site is performing. We use this data to make our site better for everyone.
You have full control over cookies and can disable them in your browser settings. However, some parts of our site may not work as expected without them.
4. How We Use Your Data
Your data is used to improve our services and communicate with you. Specifically:
- To provide the marketing services you request.
- To improve our website's usability and site content.
- To communicate with you about your project or inquiry.
- We will never sell your personal data to third parties or use it for unrelated advertising.
5. Data Security
We take data security seriously. Our website uses SSL encryption (the padlock icon in your browser), and we follow industry best practices to protect our systems from unauthorized access, including guarding against potential site hacking and password stuffing vulnerabilities.
6. Your Data Rights (GDPR)
You have rights over your personal data. Here’s how you can exercise them:
The Right to Access
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
The Right to Rectification
If you believe any data we have is incorrect, you can ask us to update it.
