A website maintenance contractor maintains page content for us and does not have access to personal data collected through the site. We share data with professional advisers and with authorities where the law requires it.

4. Where data is kept and how long

ForWare hosts the website on Google Cloud in Belgium. Contact form emails are held in Google Workspace, within the European Union. Where a provider processes personal data outside the EU or UK, we rely on an adequacy decision or the applicable standard contractual clauses. Contact form submissions are kept while we deal with your enquiry and for up to 12 months afterwards, then deleted. Server logs are kept for up to 90 days. Google Analytics data is kept for no longer than 14 months.

5. Cookies

The cookie banner shown when you first visit the website lists the cookies the site sets and what each is for, and lets you accept or decline any that are not strictly necessary. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them. You can change your choice at any time by reopening the cookie banner from the bottom of any page.

Remarketing Services

We use remarketing services. What Is Remarketing?
