Your enquiry.

Forge Lifts Ltd (company number 13812571) is responsible for the information you provide through this website. Contact us at info@forgelifts.co.uk or 020 7097 8588 with any questions about your information.

Our form asks for your name, site postcode, a phone number or email address, and details of the work or fault. We use these to respond, assess your request and discuss or arrange services. Please avoid including sensitive personal information or access codes.

Where you ask us to take steps towards a contract with you, we use your information for those steps. For enquiries made on behalf of a business or building, we rely on our legitimate interest in handling enquiries and providing lift services. We also have a legitimate interest in protecting the website against misuse.

You choose whether to make an enquiry. Without the required contact and site details, we may not be able to respond or assess the request. Submitting this form does not subscribe you to a marketing list.

Who handles your enquiry?

The website sends your enquiry to our company email account, which uses Google Workspace. Our website hosting and email providers process information to deliver and protect these services. Our team uses the enquiry to respond to you.

If your request needs an independent provider, such as a LOLER examination company, we will discuss the introduction or arrangements with you. This form does not automatically forward enquiries to those companies.

This notice covers website enquiries. If you go on to arrange work, information needed to perform and record that work becomes part of the relevant customer and service records.

How long do we keep it?

For enquiries that do not lead to work, we delete the enquiry correspondence 12 months after the last contact, unless it is needed for an ongoing dispute or a legal obligation. Where work goes ahead, the associated service, contract and accounting records have different retention needs.

Our team manages deletion of enquiry emails. The website does not automatically delete messages from our email account.

Essential form cookies and security.

Pages with an enquiry form use a session cookie to help prevent unauthorised submissions and duplicate emails. It contains a random session identifier, not the text of your enquiry, and is intended to last for your browser session.

The form temporarily uses a hashed network address and submission times to limit repeated requests. Entries older than one hour are removed when the limit record is next processed. The form does not save enquiry messages to a separate website database.

The hosting service also processes technical request information to deliver and secure the website. The rebuilt website does not load advertising or analytics trackers. Links to external websites, including maps and reviews, are covered by those sites’ own privacy notices.

Your rights and questions.

Depending on the circumstances, you can ask to access or correct your personal information, request deletion or restricted processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, or request a portable copy where that right applies. These rights are subject to the applicable legal conditions.

Email info@forgelifts.co.uk to make a request or ask about our providers and handling of your data. You can also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
