Who We Are and How to Contact Us
This website is operated by TUC. For data-protection purposes, the controller is TUC Global Limited.
Privacy requests and privacy complaints may be submitted through the website's Contact page.
Information We Collect
The Contact page collects:
- Name
- Company, when supplied
- Country / Region, when supplied
- Message / Project Description
If you use the Project Advisor, we collect the information you choose to provide through it.
The website and its providers may process a small amount of technical information needed to host, operate, secure and protect the website and enquiry channels.
This website is intended for business and professional contacts and is not directed to children. TUC does not knowingly seek children's personal information through its business enquiry channels.
Do not submit patient information, medical records, treatment details or other sensitive health information through the Contact or Project Advisor enquiry channels.
How and Why We Use Information
We use information only as needed to:
- Receive, review and understand enquiries
- Reply by email
- Discuss products, projects and business opportunities
- Maintain necessary business correspondence
- Operate and protect the website
- Comply with applicable legal obligations where necessary
For ordinary B2B enquiries, the primary lawful basis is TUC's legitimate interest in receiving, reviewing and responding to enquiries and communicating with prospective and existing business contacts.
Where genuinely applicable, processing may also be necessary to take steps requested before entering into a contract. Processing may be necessary to comply with a legal obligation when handling a privacy request or meeting another statutory requirement.
Service Providers and International Transfers
TUC uses service providers where needed for website hosting and infrastructure, transactional email delivery, business email services, and necessary security and infrastructure. These providers process information for their relevant service role and under applicable contractual arrangements.
Resend is the selected transactional email provider. Website enquiry information may be processed through its service to deliver enquiries to TUC, including processing in the United States. TUC may use business email service providers to receive, store and respond to business correspondence.
Some providers may process information outside your country, including in the United States. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, TUC and its providers use applicable contractual or recognized transfer mechanisms.
How Long We Keep Information
- Ordinary enquiries that do not become an active business relationship are kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact.
- Correspondence for active business relationships may be kept longer where reasonably necessary for the ongoing relationship, contractual records, accounting or legal obligations, claims or disputes.
- Privacy requests and privacy complaints are kept for up to 3 years after closure.

- Access your personal information
