Privacy Policy

Who we are

HGE Field Engineering (“we”, “us”) is a site engineering company based in Kent, United Kingdom. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through this website. If you have any questions, contact us at info@hgefieldengineering.co.uk.

What we collect and why

When you submit our contact form we collect your name, email address and message, plus your phone number, company name and service of interest if you choose to provide them. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry and discuss your project requirements.

We do not use this information for marketing, and we never sell or share it with third parties for their own purposes.

Job applications

If you apply for a role through our careers page, we collect your name, email address, CV and, if provided, your phone number and cover note. This information is used solely to assess your application for the role you applied for (and, with your agreement, similar future roles).

CVs are stored in a private, access-controlled area of our website database — they are not publicly accessible and can only be retrieved by our staff. Unsuccessful applications and their CVs are deleted once recruitment for the role concludes, unless you ask us to keep your details on file.

Legal basis

We process enquiry data on the basis of legitimate interest (responding to a business enquiry you initiated) under UK GDPR. Job application data is processed as steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.

Where your data is stored

Enquiries and applications are stored in our website database hosted by Supabase, which processes data on our behalf under its standard data-processing terms.

We retain enquiry records only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting business relationship, after which they are deleted.

Cookies

The public website does not set tracking or advertising cookies. A small number of strictly necessary cookies are used for the administration area login (staff only). Our social media page embeds a LinkedIn feed provided by Elfsight, which may set its own cookies when that page is viewed — see Elfsight's and LinkedIn's own privacy policies for details.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or request deletion of the personal data we hold about you, and the right to object to or restrict our processing of it. To exercise any of these rights, email info@hgefieldengineering.co.uk.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
