- Respond to enquiries

- Prepare proposals, scopes, or referrals where appropriate

Personal data submitted through the website is not used for unrelated purposes without a proper lawful basis.
Lawful bases for processing
Depending on the context, YIELD Industries may rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:
- Legitimate interests where it is necessary to manage enquiries, assess fit, operate the website, or run the business in a proportionate way
- Contract where processing is necessary to take steps requested before entering into a contract or to perform a contract
- Consent where consent is specifically requested for a particular use
- Legal obligation where records must be kept or information disclosed to comply with the law
Sharing personal data and service providers
Personal data may be processed by service providers used to operate the website and communications.
This may include website hosting, form handling, email delivery, and related technical infrastructure.
At the time of writing, the site may use third-party providers such as website hosting and form-processing services.
Where those providers process data on behalf of YIELD Industries, they are used only as reasonably necessary to run the site and handle enquiries.
Personal data is not sold. It is not shared for third-party marketing. It may be disclosed where required by law,
to protect legal rights, or where necessary to progress a project with the individual’s knowledge.
How long information is kept
Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected,
including to manage enquiries, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes if needed.
Where no ongoing project or business relationship follows from an enquiry, submitted information is typically kept only for a limited period,
unless there is a legitimate reason to retain it longer.

This website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for site delivery, security, or embedded functionality.
If additional cookies or tracking technologies are added later, including analytics, marketing, advertising, or embedded booking systems,
this policy and any related cookie controls should be updated accordingly.
Where cookies are not strictly necessary, appropriate consent should be obtained before they are used.
Security
Reasonable steps are taken to protect information handled through the website. However, no website, platform,
