Privacy notice

What happens to the details you send us, in plain English.

Who we are

shade.mt is operated by Checkyourtraders Ltd (company registration C96484), 35 Strait Street, Valletta VLT 1434, Malta. Checkyourtraders Ltd is the controller of the personal data described here.

What we collect

Only what you give us in the enquiry form: your name, email address and phone number, your locality, the details of your space (products of interest, approximate measurements, setting, timeline and message), any photos you upload, and your consent. We do not ask for your full address until we arrange a survey.

When you send an enquiry we record which website or app referred you (for example a search engine or AI assistant) and the page you arrived on, to understand how people find us.

Why we use it

To reply to your enquiry, arrange a site survey, prepare a quote and, if you go ahead, deliver the work. The legal basis is your request for a quote (steps taken at your request before entering into a contract) and your consent given on the form. We do not use your details for marketing, and we do not sell them.

Where it goes

Netlify, Inc. hosts this website and stores form submissions, then emails them to us. Netlify acts as our processor under its data processing terms. It is based in the United States; transfers are covered by the safeguards in those terms.
Our email, where the enquiry is delivered and answered.
To price your project we may share the measurements and photos of your space, without your contact details, with the manufacturer or installer we are quoting with.

Analytics, only if you agree

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits. It runs only after you press Accept on the bar at the foot of the page. Until then, and if you press Decline, no analytics cookie is set and Google is told you have not consented. If you accept, Google sets two cookies whose only job is to recognise a returning browser. Advertising features and cross-site signals are switched off, and there are no advertising cookies or tracking pixels. The lawful basis is your consent, which you can withdraw here: change your analytics choice. The fonts are served from this site rather than a third party, and our host keeps standard server logs for security and operation.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry details for as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry and any resulting project, and for any period the law requires afterwards, for example for accounting records. If nothing comes of an enquiry we delete it within 24 months.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to its use, or to withdraw your consent at any time. Write to us at the address above, or reply to any email we have sent you. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to Malta’s Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC).
