Privacy Policy
Who we are
Energy And Solar Products ("we", "us", "our") operates the website energyandsolarproducts.co.uk. We are an independent editorial publisher of reviews and buyer's guides for home energy and solar products. We do not sell or install products and we do not operate a sales or quote service. You can contact us via our online contact form.
Personal data we collect
When you send us a message through our contact form we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The content of your message
We also collect standard, aggregated analytics about how the site is used (see "Cookies & analytics" below). We do not collect special-category data or data relating to children, and we do not ask for postcodes, phone numbers or payment details.
How we use your data
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Reply to your message, tip or correction | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) |
| Understand and improve the site (aggregated, anonymised analytics) | Legitimate interest |
We will never sell your data, and we do not pass the details you send us to any third party for their own marketing.
Links to other sites
Our guides link to manufacturers' pages, regulators and standards bodies so that you can check our sources. We don't use affiliate or sponsored links and we don't run ads. When you follow a link you leave our site, and the other site is responsible for any data it collects under its own privacy policy.
Cookies & analytics
Our site uses only essential cookies plus Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled, to understand which content is useful. We do not run advertising or tracking cookies of our own. You can disable non-essential cookies via your browser settings; the site will still work.
Data retention
- Contact-form messages: retained for up to 12 months after our last reply, then deleted.
- Anonymised analytics data: retained in aggregate form.

- Access the personal data we hold about you

To exercise any right, use our online contact form. We will respond within one calendar month.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures (TLS encryption, access controls) to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or alteration.
