Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website (nickelaluminiumbronze.co.uk and related domains) is owned and operated by Copper Alloys Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Copper Alloys Ltd. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website.

For privacy questions, contact us via copperalloys.net/contact.

2. What data we collect

This site is primarily informational. We do not require you to create an account. The data processed on this site includes:

• Technical data automatically sent by your browser (IP address, user-agent, referrer, pages visited, timestamps).
• Analytics data - only if you accept analytics cookies (see §4).
• Cookie preferences stored locally in your browser.

3. Legal bases (UK GDPR)

• Legitimate interests - operating, securing and improving the website.
• Consent - for non-essential cookies and analytics. You can withdraw consent at any time (see §7).
• Legal obligation - where we must retain records to comply with law.

4. Cookies and analytics

Strictly necessary

A small amount of data (your cookie choice) is stored in your browser's localStorage so we don't ask you again on every page. No consent is required for this.

Google Analytics 4 (optional)

If you click “Accept all”, we load Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-B5KKZF4VLQ), provided by Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC. It sets cookies (typically _ga and _ga_*) and collects: pages viewed, session duration, approximate location (city/country), device and browser type, and a truncated IP address. We enable IP anonymisation. Data may be transferred to the United States under Google's Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

See Google's Privacy Policy.

Lovable Analytics & hosting

This website is built and hosted on the Lovable platform (Lovable AB). Lovable's infrastructure processes standard server-log data (IP address, user-agent, request path) to serve pages, prevent abuse and provide the site owner with aggregate traffic analytics. This processing is necessary to operate the site and relies on our legitimate interests. See Lovable's Privacy Policy.

Third-party embeds

Pages may link to copperalloys.net and other external resources. When you follow those links, the destination site's own privacy policy applies. We do not embed social media trackers, advertising pixels or session-recording tools on this site.

5. Fonts & CDN

We load web fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser fetches fonts, Google receives your IP address as part of that request. This is necessary to render the site correctly and is covered by our legitimate interests.

6. Data retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months and then automatically deleted. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and diagnostics.

7. Your rights & how to withdraw consent

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• request correction or deletion;
• object to or restrict processing;
• data portability;
• complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

To withdraw analytics consent, clear this site's localStorage in your browser (Developer Tools → Application → Local Storage → delete nab-cookie-consent-v1), then reload - the banner will reappear and you can choose again. You can also install a browser extension such as Google's Analytics Opt-out.

8. Security

Copper Alloys Ltd holds Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 9001 certifications. All traffic to this site is served over HTTPS.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect any changes. Material changes will be highlighted on the site.
