Privacy Policy
Who we are
This privacy policy applies to the website at https://astltd.net, operated by Advanced Security Technologies (AST).
For any question about this policy or about how your personal data is handled, contact .
What personal data we collect, and why
Contact and enquiry forms
When you submit an enquiry through a form on this site, we collect the details you enter — typically your name, your email address, and your message. The form also records the page you submitted it from and the page that referred you there, so we can understand the context of your enquiry.
We use this information for one purpose: to read and respond to your enquiry, and to maintain a record of our correspondence with you. We do not use enquiry submissions for marketing, and we do not sell or rent them to anyone.
Cookies and consent
This site uses cookies, and asks for your consent before setting any that are not strictly necessary. You can review or withdraw your choices at any time through the cookie banner. A full, itemised list of the cookies in use — including their purpose and lifetime — is maintained in our Cookie Policy, which forms part of this privacy policy.
Server logs and security
Our hosting infrastructure keeps standard server logs, which may include your IP address, browser user-agent string, the pages you requested, and the time of the request. These logs exist to operate the site securely and reliably — diagnosing faults, and detecting and preventing abuse. They are not used to build a profile of you.
What we do not do
This site runs no advertising trackers, no analytics profiling, and no social media tracking pixels. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that has a legal effect on you.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content, such as videos or documents. Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited that other website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
This site also links to partner, integration, and group websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and this one does not apply to them.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only where it is necessary to run this site or to answer you:
- Our hosting provider, which stores the site and its data on our behalf
- Our email provider, which delivers the messages sent through our forms
- Professional advisers or authorities, where we are legally required to disclose information
How long we retain your data
We keep personal data only for as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for. Enquiries and the correspondence arising from them are retained for as long as needed to handle your request and to keep a reasonable business record of it; server logs are kept for a short operational period and then rotated. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted.
What rights you have over your data
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable form. You can exercise any of these rights by writing to .
Erasure does not extend to data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. If you are in the EU or the UK and you believe we have handled your data improperly, you also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
Where your data is sent
AST operates internationally, so your data may be processed outside the country where you live, including outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, we take steps to ensure your data continues to receive an equivalent standard of protection, through appropriate contractual safeguards with the providers involved.
How we protect your data
This site is served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections. Access to the systems holding enquiry data is restricted to the people who need it. As a security company, we also operate a published vulnerability disclosure process — see our Security and Vulnerability Disclosure page.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and revise the date at the top. Where a change materially affects how your personal data is handled, we will take reasonable steps to make it prominent.
