Privacy Notice

Last updated: 29 August 2026

About this notice

This demonstration privacy notice explains how Stowstead may handle personal information when someone browses the website, requests a quote, contacts a centre or reserves a storage unit. A template buyer should replace the company details, processors and legal wording with information appropriate to the real business before publishing.

Information we collect

We may collect a name, email address, telephone number, preferred facility, storage requirements, intended move-in date and the content of an enquiry. Technical information may include IP address, browser type, device information, referring page and website interaction data. Payment and identification information should only be collected through approved operational systems, not an ordinary contact form.

How information is used

Information may be used to answer enquiries, prepare quotes, check unit availability, administer reservations, support customers, maintain site security, improve services and meet legal or accounting obligations. Marketing messages should only be sent where there is a valid legal basis and a clear way to opt out.

Cookies and analytics

Essential cookies may support site operation and security. Optional analytics or marketing cookies should only be used in accordance with the applicable consent requirements. Visitors can usually control cookies through a consent tool and browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may affect site functions.

Legal bases

Depending on the activity, processing may be necessary to take steps before a contract, perform a contract, comply with a legal obligation, pursue a legitimate interest or act on consent. The correct basis must be confirmed for the live business.

Sharing and international transfers

Information may be shared with vetted service providers that support hosting, forms, communications, customer management, payments or analytics. It should not be sold. Where data is transferred internationally, the live operator should use a recognised safeguard and explain it here.

Retention, security and rights

Personal information should be kept only as long as needed for its stated purpose and any legal requirements. Reasonable organisational and technical measures should protect it from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Depending on applicable law, people may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or an objection to certain processing, and may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

Updates and contact

This notice may be updated when services or legal requirements change. Questions or rights requests may be sent to privacy@stowstead.co.uk or by post to the registered address supplied by the live business.
