- company name and job title;
- information you provide in a project or technical enquiry;
- meeting-booking information;
- communications between you and GilMan Engineering AB; and
- technical information relating to your use of the website where you have consented to the relevant cookies.
Please avoid submitting confidential technical information, sensitive personal data or other information that is not necessary for your initial enquiry.
3. Why we process your personal data
We may process personal data in order to:
- receive, assess and respond to enquiries;
- communicate with prospective and existing customers, suppliers and business contacts;
- arrange engineering consultations and meetings;
- evaluate potential projects and prepare for possible contractual relationships;
- provide requested services and administer existing business relationships;
- maintain the security and functionality of the website; and
- understand how the website is used where you have consented to analytics or other optional cookies.
4. Legal bases
The legal basis depends on the purpose of the processing.
We may process personal data because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract.
We may also process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries, communicating with business contacts, managing our business relationships and protecting our website and services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Where processing requires your consent, including the use of non-essential cookies, we rely on your consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time.
We may also process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
5. HubSpot
We use HubSpot to support functions including enquiry forms, meeting scheduling, customer/contact management and, subject to your cookie choices, website analytics.
When you submit an enquiry through a HubSpot form or use a HubSpot meeting-booking function, the information you provide may be processed through HubSpot systems on our behalf.
Submitting a form does not require you to accept optional tracking cookies.
6. Cookies and website analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for website or consent-management functionality. Optional cookies are used only according to your consent choices.
Where you consent to analytics cookies, information about visits and interactions with the website may be collected to help us understand website usage.
You can accept, decline or manage optional cookie categories through the website's cookie-consent controls.
More information is available in our Cookie Policy.
7. Who may receive your personal data
Personal data may be processed by service providers acting on our behalf where necessary to operate our website and business systems.
These include providers of:
- website hosting and infrastructure;
- customer relationship management, forms and meeting scheduling;
- email and business communication; and
- other IT services necessary to operate our business.
We currently use services including Vercel for website hosting/infrastructure, HubSpot for the functions described above, and Microsoft 365 for business email and communication.
We do not sell your personal data.
8. International transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside Sweden or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we require an appropriate legal mechanism and safeguards in accordance with applicable data-protection law, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards where required.
9. How long we keep personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal requirements.
The retention period therefore depends on the nature of the relationship and information.
Enquiry information that develops into a customer or contractual relationship may be retained as part of the relevant business records.
Information that is no longer required will be deleted or anonymised in accordance with our applicable retention practices and legal obligations.
10. Your rights
Subject to the conditions in applicable data-protection law, you may have the right to:
- request access to your personal data;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of your personal data;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain personal data in a portable format; and
- withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
To exercise your rights, contact: info@gilman-engineering.com
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) if you believe your personal data has been processed contrary to applicable data-protection law.
11. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, processing activities or legal requirements change.
