Privacy policy

Who is responsible

Semiconductor.co.uk is operated privately by the owner of the domain, who is the data controller for any information you submit. Contact for data protection matters is through the enquiry form on the acquisition page.

What is collected

Browsing this site requires no account and sets no advertising or tracking cookies. If you submit the enquiry form, the following is stored:

• Your name, organisation, job title (if given), email address and telephone number (if given)
• The message you write
• Basic campaign attribution — the page you first arrived on, the referring site, and any UTM parameters in the link you followed
• A one-way, non-reversible fingerprint derived from your IP address, used solely to limit automated abuse of the form. The IP address itself is not stored.

Why it is collected

Enquiry details are used only to respond to your enquiry and to conduct any resulting discussion. Campaign attribution is used to understand which outreach produces genuine enquiries. The lawful basis is legitimate interests: you have made contact about a commercial matter and expect a reply.

What is not done with it

• Your details are never sold, rented or shared for marketing.
• You will not be added to a mailing list or automated follow-up sequence.
• No profiling or automated decision-making is applied to your enquiry.

Storage and retention

Enquiries are stored in a managed, access-controlled database hosted within the site's backend infrastructure, and are not readable through the public website. Enquiries are kept for as long as needed to conclude the discussion and to keep a record of contact, and are deleted on request.

Cookies and analytics

No third-party advertising or analytics cookies are set. The site uses a small amount of browser session storage to remember which link brought you here, so that attribution can be attached to an enquiry you choose to send. That data stays in your browser unless you submit the form, and clears when you close the browser.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you may request access to the information held about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to its use. Requests are actioned promptly and free of charge. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
