We aim to collect only the personal information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

3. How we collect your information

We may collect personal information:

directly from you when you contact us by telephone, email or through our website;
when you or your organisation requests a quotation, places an order or enters into a business relationship with MKP;
through our ongoing communications with customers, prospective customers, suppliers and other business contacts;
when you subscribe to or interact with our marketing communications;
when you apply for a role with MKP;
automatically when you use our website, through cookies and similar technologies; and
from publicly available business sources or other legitimate sources where appropriate.

If we obtain your business contact information from another source rather than directly from you, we will handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law.

4. How we use your information and our lawful bases

UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information. The basis we rely on depends on why we are using your information.

Responding to enquiries

We use the information you provide to respond to enquiries, discuss potential projects, provide information about our capabilities and services and communicate with you about your requirements.

We generally rely on our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries and developing commercial relationships. Where your enquiry relates to entering into a contract with us personally, we may process your information because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Customers, suppliers and business relationships

We use personal information relating to customer, supplier and other business contacts to:

manage our commercial relationships;
prepare and manage quotations and orders;
communicate about projects, products and services;
provide customer and supplier support;
maintain appropriate business and financial records; and
manage our supply chain and business operations.

Depending on the circumstances, we rely on contract, legal obligation and/or our legitimate interests in operating our business and managing relationships with customers, suppliers and partners.

Marketing

We may use business contact information to communicate with existing and prospective customers about MKP, our manufacturing capabilities, services and other information we believe may be relevant to their organisation.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on legitimate interests or consent to process personal information for direct marketing.

We will comply with applicable electronic marketing rules and provide an appropriate way to opt out of marketing communications.

You can ask us to stop using your personal information for direct marketing at any time.

Recruitment

If you apply for a role with MKP, we may use the information you provide to:

assess your application;
communicate with you about your application;
evaluate your suitability for a role;
arrange and conduct interviews; and
carry out appropriate pre-employment checks where necessary and lawful.

Depending on the circumstances, we process this information to take steps before entering into an employment contract, to comply with legal obligations and for our legitimate interests in recruiting suitable employees.

If recruitment involves information requiring additional protection under data protection law, we will only process that information where we have an appropriate legal basis to do so.

Website analytics and performance

We use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our website, measure website performance and help us improve the user experience and effectiveness of our digital activity.

This may include the use of Google Analytics 4 through Google Tag Manager.

Where required, these technologies are used subject to your cookie and consent choices.

Advertising and conversion measurement

We use Google Ads and related technologies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, including whether visits to the MKP website result in relevant actions such as enquiries.

Some conversion activity is measured through Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, while certain Google Ads conversion measurement may operate directly on the website.

Where consent is required for these technologies, they will be used in accordance with your cookie choices.

For more information about the technologies used on our website and how you can manage your preferences, please see our Cookie Policy.

Legal, regulatory and security purposes

We may process personal information where necessary to:

comply with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting obligations;
establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
protect our business, systems and website;
prevent or investigate fraud, misuse or security incidents; and
maintain appropriate business records.

Our lawful basis will depend on the circumstances and may include legal obligation and/or legitimate interests.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes including essential website functionality, analytics, advertising measurement and certain third-party functionality.

Where required, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You can manage your preferences using the cookie settings available on our website.
For further information about the technologies we use, their purposes and how long they operate, please see our Cookie Policy.

6. Who we share personal information with

We do not sell your personal information.

Where necessary for the purposes described in this policy, we may share personal information with trusted third parties, including:

IT, website hosting and technical service providers;
email and communications providers;
analytics and advertising providers, including Google;
professional advisers such as accountants, auditors, insurers and legal advisers;
suppliers and service providers supporting our business operations;
recruitment service providers where applicable;
government, regulatory, law enforcement or other authorities where required by law; and
other organisations where necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we take appropriate steps to ensure that information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

7. International transfers

Some of the third-party technology and service providers we use, such as Google, may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where this involves an international transfer of personal information, we ensure that appropriate protections are in place as required by UK data protection law.

8. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, regulatory and reporting requirements.

The appropriate retention period depends on the type of information and why we hold it.
For example:

enquiry and prospective customer information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry and manage the potential business relationship;
customer, supplier, contractual and transaction records may be retained for longer where required for legal, tax, accounting, warranty or contractual purposes;
marketing information is retained while it remains relevant to our business relationship or until you opt out or object to its use for marketing; and
recruitment information is retained for an appropriate period following the recruitment process, taking into account legal requirements and our legitimate business needs.

We may retain limited information where necessary to record that you have opted out of marketing so that we can respect your preference in the future.

When personal information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it as appropriate.

9. How we protect your information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

Access to personal information is limited to employees, service providers and other parties who have a legitimate business need to access it.

While we take reasonable steps to protect personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law gives you rights in relation to your personal information. These may include the right to:

ask us for access to the personal information we hold about you;
ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances;
ask us to restrict how we use your information in certain circumstances;
object to certain uses of your personal information;
receive certain personal information in a portable format where applicable; and
withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.

You have an absolute right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

These rights do not apply in every circumstance, and exemptions may apply.
