Privacy Policy
Last updated 8 June 2026 · Version 1.0
Who we are. Stratael is a trading name of STECHNOLOGIES LTD ("Stratael", "we", "us"), a company registered in England & Wales under company number 16718386. We are the data controller for personal data processed through this website.
This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, how we use it, and the rights you have under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. What we collect
- Information you give us — when you submit a form (name, work email, fund or company, your stated intent and any message).
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, and anonymous usage data, only where you consent to non-essential cookies.
- Correspondence — records of communications when you contact us.
2. Why we use it (lawful bases)
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to enquiries and access requests | Legitimate interests / steps prior to a contract |
| Sending you communications you requested | Consent |
| Operating and securing the website | Legitimate interests |
| Meeting legal and regulatory obligations | Legal obligation |
3. Sharing
We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (for example our website host and form processor, Netlify; and our email provider), all bound by data-processing terms. We may disclose data where required by law.
4. International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum to ensure equivalent protection.
5. Retention
We keep enquiry data only as long as needed for the purpose collected and a reasonable follow-up period, then delete or anonymise it. Where we rely on consent, we retain until you withdraw it.
6. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port and object to processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. See our GDPR Rights Notice in the Legal Notice. To exercise any right, email privacy@stratael.com.
7. Complaints
You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though we ask that you contact us first so we can help.
