2D Nano Limited ("2D Nano", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data.

2D Nano Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 12794178, with its registered office at C/O Irwin Mitchell LLP, 28 Tudor Street, London, United Kingdom, EC4Y 0AY.

You can contact us about privacy or data protection matters at info@2dnano.uk.
1. Personal data we collect
Personal data means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. It does not include information that has been anonymised so that an individual can no longer be identified. We may collect the following categories of personal data.
Information you provide to us:
Contact information. When you contact us through our website, by email or through other means, we may collect information such as your name, email address, organisation, job title and other contact details you provide.
Newsletter and communications information. If you subscribe to receive news or updates from us, we collect your name, email address and information about your communication preferences.
Correspondence. If you contact us, we may retain the contents of your correspondence and information relating to your enquiry or request.
Information collected when you use our website:
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, approximate location derived from your IP address, and information about how you interact with the website.
Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar technologies. More information is provided in section 4 below.
Information obtained from other sources:
In some circumstances, we may receive professional or business contact information from publicly available sources, business partners or other organisations.
Where we obtain personal data from another source, we will handle it in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable data protection law.
We may also create aggregated or anonymised information from personal data. Where information has been effectively anonymised so that individuals can no longer be identified, it is not personal data.
2. How and why we use your personal data
We only use personal data where we have a lawful basis for doing so.
We may process your personal data for the following purposes:
Operating and securing our website. We process technical and usage information where necessary to provide and secure our website and, where appropriate, on the basis of our legitimate interests in maintaining a secure and effective website.
Responding to enquiries. We use your contact details and correspondence to respond to questions, requests and other communications. Depending on the circumstances, we do this on the basis of our legitimate interests in communicating with people who contact us, to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or where necessary to perform a contract with you.
Newsletters and marketing communications. Where required, we send newsletters, company updates and other electronic marketing communications on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us at info@2dnano.uk.
In circumstances where applicable law permits us to send business-to-business communications without consent, we may process relevant business contact information on the basis of our legitimate interests in promoting and developing our business. You can object to direct marketing at any time.
Understanding and improving our website. Where permitted by law, we may analyse how visitors use our website so that we can understand its performance and improve its content, functionality and user experience. Where the technologies we use require consent, we will obtain your consent before using them.
Business administration and development. We may process business contact information where reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests in managing supplier, partner, customer, investor and other professional relationships.
Legal and regulatory requirements. We may process personal data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation, establish or exercise legal rights, respond to lawful requests from authorities, or protect our rights and interests.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether those interests are proportionate and whether your rights and interests override them.
3. Marketing communications
If you have subscribed to our newsletter or other marketing communications, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting info@2dnano.uk.
Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.
Where we send electronic marketing communications, we do so in accordance with applicable data protection law and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended.
We may retain limited information about people who have unsubscribed in order to ensure that we respect their preferences and do not contact them again for marketing purposes.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar storage and access technologies. These can include cookies, pixels, scripts, tags and local storage.
Some technologies are necessary for our website to function correctly, for example for security, network management or remembering privacy preferences.
We may also use other technologies to understand how visitors use our website and improve its performance. Where consent is required by law, these technologies will not be used until you have given your consent.
You can manage or withdraw your preferences through the cookie controls available on our website. Where consent is required, withdrawing consent will be as easy as providing it.
You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking certain necessary technologies may affect how parts of the website function.
Further information about the specific cookies and similar technologies used on our website, their purposes, providers and duration should be available through our website's cookie settings or Cookie Notice.
5. Who we share personal data with
We may share personal data with organisations that provide services to us where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.
These may include:
website hosting and website service providers, including Squarespace;
email and communications service providers, including Mailchimp;
IT, cloud storage, analytics and security providers;
professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants and consultants;
companies within the 2D Nano group, where applicable; and
regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts or other authorities where required by law.
Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, we require them to process it only in accordance with our instructions and to provide appropriate protection for that data.
We may also disclose personal data in connection with a merger, investment, financing, restructuring, acquisition, sale of assets or other corporate transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.
6. International transfers
Some of our suppliers and service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred to a country that is not covered by UK adequacy regulations, we will use an appropriate transfer mechanism or safeguard where required by law. This may include the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or another legally recognised safeguard.
You can contact us at info@2dnano.uk if you would like further information about the safeguards used for international transfers of your personal data.
7. How long we keep personal data
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, regulatory, accounting and reporting requirements.
The appropriate retention period depends on factors including the nature of the information, why we collected it, whether we have an ongoing relationship with you, legal requirements and whether the information may be required to establish or defend legal claims.
For example, we generally retain:
newsletter subscription information until you unsubscribe or we determine that the information is no longer required;
records of marketing opt-outs for as long as necessary to ensure that we continue to respect your preference;
correspondence and enquiries for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and maintain appropriate business records; and
technical and website information for the period reasonably required for security, analytics and website administration.
When personal data is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it securely.
8. How we protect your personal data
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
No internet transmission or information storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore continually review our safeguards and take reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the information we process.
9. Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances and the way we process your personal data, you may have the right to:
access the personal data we hold about you;
correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances;
restrict how we process your personal data in certain circumstances;
object to processing based on legitimate interests;
object to direct marketing at any time;
receive certain personal data in a portable format and, where applicable, request its transfer to another organisation; and
withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exemptions or limitations under applicable law.
We may need to ask you for information to confirm your identity before responding to a request. We will respond within the time limits required by applicable data protection law.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@2dnano.uk.
10. Automated decision-making
We do not currently use your personal data to make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
If this changes, we will update this Privacy Notice and provide the information and safeguards required by applicable law.
11. Children's privacy
Our website and services are intended primarily for businesses and professional audiences and are not directed at children.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through our website. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us inappropriately, please contact us at info@2dnano.uk.
12. Third-party websites
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
Those third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy information before providing them with personal data. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
13. Data protection complaints
If you have concerns about how we have collected or used your personal data, you can make a data protection complaint by contacting us at info@2dnano.uk.
We will acknowledge receipt of a data protection complaint within 30 days. We will take appropriate steps to investigate the complaint, keep you informed where appropriate, and communicate the outcome without undue delay.
You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.
We would welcome the opportunity to address your concerns directly, but your right to contact the ICO is not affected by contacting us first.
14. Changes to this Privacy Notice
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes to our activities, services, technologies or legal obligations.
When we make changes, we will publish the updated notice on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. Where a change materially affects how we use your personal data, we will take reasonable steps to bring the change to your attention where required.
