Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29.06.2026

Axis Marine ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit this website or get in touch with us, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. It is written to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who we are

Axis Marine is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. If you have any questions, you can contact us at:

• Company name: Axis Marine Ltd
• Company number: SC892546
• Registered address: 5 Fetteresso Terrace, Stonehaven, AB39 2DS
• Email: info@axismarine.co.uk

2. What information we collect

We collect personal data in the following ways:

• Enquiry and contact forms: when you submit a form on our site (for example, to request a quote, ask about equipment, or enquire about selling equipment), we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, and the content of your message.
• Website usage and tracking via HubSpot: we use HubSpot as our website and marketing platform. HubSpot automatically collects certain technical information when you browse our site, such as your IP address, browser type and device information, pages visited, and referral source, and may set cookies to recognise repeat visitors and measure how our site is used. Where you submit a form, HubSpot also records that submission and associates it with your browsing activity on our site so we can understand how you found us and respond to your enquiry appropriately.

We do not knowingly collect any special category data (such as health information or financial details) through this website.

3. How we use your information

We use the personal data we collect to:

• respond to enquiries and provide quotes or information about our equipment and services;
• manage and administer our relationship with you as a customer, supplier, or prospective customer;
• understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve it;
• send you marketing communications, where you have given us your consent to do so, or where we have a legitimate interest in contacting you and you have not opted out;
• comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Our legal basis for processing

Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, operate and improve our website, and contact existing business contacts about similar products or services.
• Consent — where you have opted in to receive marketing communications, or where non-essential cookies require consent.
• Contract — where processing is necessary to perform a contract with you, such as supplying equipment you have purchased.
• Legal obligation — where we are required to retain or disclose information by law.

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including those set by HubSpot, to operate correctly, remember your preferences, and gather analytics about how the site is used. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

6. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• HubSpot, Inc., our website and customer relationship management platform, who processes data on our behalf as a data processor in accordance with their own privacy and security commitments;
• other service providers who support our business operations (for example, email or hosting providers), under appropriate contractual safeguards;
• regulators, law enforcement, or other third parties where we are required to do so by law.

7. International transfers

Some of our service providers, including HubSpot, may process data outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent adequacy mechanism, to protect your personal data.

8. How long we keep your data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including responding to your enquiry, maintaining business records, and meeting legal or regulatory requirements. Enquiry and marketing data is generally retained for 12 months unless you ask us to delete it sooner or a longer retention period is required by law.

9. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• request access to the personal data we hold about you;
• request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data;
• request that we delete your data, in certain circumstances;
• request that we restrict or object to processing of your data;
• request that we transfer your data to another organisation (data portability);
• withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent;
• lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been mishandled.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 1.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
