1. About this policy
Antrim Pork Supplies respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy & Cookies Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, contact us or make a trade enquiry, why we use that information, how long we keep it, who it may be shared with and the rights available to you under UK data protection law.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, Antrim Pork Supplies is the data controller for personal information processed through this website.

2. Information we may collect
When you contact Antrim Pork Supplies through our website, by email, telephone or another communication method, we may collect information including your name, business or organisation name, email address, telephone number, delivery or business address and any information you choose to include in your enquiry.
If you become a customer, we may also process information required to manage our commercial relationship, arrange deliveries, maintain customer records, issue invoices and meet our accounting and legal obligations.
When you visit our website, certain technical information may also be processed for website security, performance and anonymous website statistics. This may include information about pages visited, referring pages, browser and device type, approximate geographic information, IP-derived information and the date and time of requests.
We ask that you do not submit sensitive personal information through our general enquiry forms unless it is genuinely necessary.
3. How we use your information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide quotations, discuss products and supply requirements, manage customer and supplier relationships, process and fulfil orders, communicate about deliveries, maintain business and accounting records, protect the security of our website and improve our website and services.
Depending on the circumstances, our lawful basis will normally be taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, performing a contract with you, complying with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating and developing our business and responding to business enquiries.
Where the law requires consent, including for certain non-essential cookies, social-media functionality or electronic marketing, we will rely on your consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
4. Website enquiry forms
Our website may allow you to submit enquiries electronically.
Information submitted through a form may include your name, business name, telephone number, email address and the contents of your message. We use this information only for the purpose described on the form, such as responding to a trade or product enquiry.
Form information may be delivered to us by email and, depending on the form configuration, may also be temporarily stored securely within our WordPress website.
We aim to remove routine website form submissions from the website database after 90 days unless there is a legitimate reason to retain them for longer.
If an enquiry does not lead to an ongoing business relationship, related correspondence will normally be retained for no longer than 12 months after the last meaningful contact. Where you become a customer, information relevant to the business relationship may be retained for longer as described below.
5. Website analytics
We use WP Statistics to help us understand how visitors use the Antrim Pork Supplies website.
We configure our website analytics with privacy in mind. Website statistics may include information such as pages viewed, referring websites, browser or device information and general geographic information.
Where possible, analytics information is processed using anonymised or hashed information rather than storing a visitor’s full IP address. Our website analytics are intended to measure overall website usage rather than track people across unrelated websites.
Detailed analytics information is normally retained for no more than 180 days, after which it may be deleted or retained only in aggregated statistical form.
6. Website security
We use security systems to protect our website from unauthorised access, malicious traffic, spam and attempted attacks.
Security logs may record information such as IP addresses, attempted login activity, pages requested, timestamps and technical browser or request information where this is necessary to detect and investigate suspicious activity.
Security activity logs are kept only for the period reasonably necessary for security purposes and are normally retained for up to 12 days, except where information must be retained longer to investigate an identified security incident.
7. Facebook and social media content
Our website may display content from our Facebook or other social-media channels.
We take steps to prevent unnecessary third-party tracking before a visitor has made a choice about non-essential cookies and similar technologies.
If you choose to enable or interact with Facebook functionality, Facebook/Meta may receive technical information about your visit, such as your IP address, browser information or information about your interaction with the content. If you are logged into Facebook, Meta may associate that activity with your Facebook account.
Any personal information subsequently processed by Meta is handled in accordance with Meta’s own privacy policies.
You can use the rest of the Antrim Pork Supplies website without being required to interact with our social-media content.
8. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar storage or access technologies where necessary to operate the website securely and efficiently.
Strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent where they are required to provide a service you have requested, maintain website security or enable essential website functionality.
We will not intentionally activate non-essential analytics, social-media, advertising or similar technologies requiring consent until you have made an appropriate choice through our cookie controls.
When non-essential technologies are available, you will be able to accept or reject them and change your preferences later using the Cookie Settings link on our website.
The current names, providers, purposes and durations of cookies and similar technologies used by the website are available through our Cookie Settings panel.
You can also delete or block cookies through your web browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect some parts of the website.
9. Marketing communications
We will not add you to a general marketing mailing list merely because you have submitted a trade enquiry.
Where we send electronic marketing, we will only do so where we have an appropriate lawful basis and where the requirements of applicable electronic marketing law are met.
Where marketing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Marketing emails will also provide a straightforward way to unsubscribe.
10. Who we may share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
Where necessary, information may be processed by trusted service providers that help us operate our website and business, including our website hosting and security providers, email service providers, website support providers and other IT suppliers.
Information may also be disclosed to professional advisers such as accountants, insurers or legal advisers where necessary, or to public authorities, regulators or law-enforcement bodies where we are legally required to do so.
If you choose to enable third-party functionality such as Facebook content, information may also be processed by the relevant third-party service provider.
We only disclose the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
11. International data transfers
Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism or other safeguard recognised under UK data protection law is used where required.
12. How long we keep information
We do not keep identifiable personal information for longer than reasonably necessary.
Routine website enquiries that do not become ongoing business relationships are normally retained for up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact.
Website form entries stored within WordPress should normally be deleted after 90 days.
Security activity logs are normally retained for no more than 12 days.
Detailed website analytics are normally retained for up to 180 days.
Customer, supplier, invoice, transaction and related commercial records may be retained for up to six years after the relevant transaction or the end of the business relationship, or for a longer period where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
13. Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal information, ask us to correct inaccurate information, request deletion of information, restrict how information is used, object to certain processing, obtain certain information in a portable format and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Not every right applies in every situation, and legal or regulatory obligations may sometimes require us to retain particular information.

We may need to ask for sufficient information to confirm your identity before responding to a request.

15. Keeping your information secure
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
16. Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.
Once you follow a link to another website, that organisation is responsible for how it processes your personal information. We recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by any third-party website you visit.
17. Children’s privacy
The Antrim Pork Supplies website is intended for businesses, trade customers and general adult visitors. It is not designed to collect personal information from children.
If we become aware that personal information relating to a child has been submitted unnecessarily, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
