Privacy notice
Version draft-2026-11-08.
Who we are
Hartmere Research Ltd, trading as Elvermont. Registered in England and Wales, company number 17529193. Registered office: 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. Data protection contact: jack@elvermont.co.uk.
What we collect and why
- Enquiries: the details you submit (company, name, business email, site and question) to reply and prepare a quote. Lawful basis: steps at your request before a contract / legitimate interests.
- Business contacts for outreach: company names and business contact routes that companies publish themselves (preferably role addresses such as info@ or sales@), with the source page and date. Lawful basis: legitimate interests in offering relevant B2B services, balanced in a documented assessment. We email only corporate subscribers under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and every email includes an opt-out.
- Customers: order, invoice and delivery records, kept as required for accounting.
What we do not do
No tracking cookies, analytics pixels or advertising tools. We do not buy contact lists or guess email addresses. We do not sell personal data.
Opting out
Reply "unsubscribe" to any email or use the opt-out page. We keep a minimal suppression record (the address only) so that we never contact you again, even if your details reappear in a public source.
Retention
Enquiries and prospect records: up to 24 months from last contact unless you become a customer. Customer records: 6 years for accounting. Suppression records: indefinitely, to honour opt-outs.
Your rights
Access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability under UK GDPR, and the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Processors
Service providers acting on our instructions: DigitalOcean (our server, located in the EU), Google (business email) and Cloudflare (website hosting and domain name service). Where a provider processes data outside the UK it does so under its data processing terms, which provide UK-recognised safeguards for international transfers.
