1. What personal data we collect.

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Company or institutional affiliation
  • Job title (if provided)
  • Information submitted via contact forms
  • Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage data

We do not collect sensitive personal data unless explicitly provided by you.

2. How we use personal data.

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • Responding to inquiries and providing requested information
  • Managing customer relationships
  • Providing customer support
  • Improving our website and user experience
  • Analyzing website performance and usage patterns

We do not sell personal data.

3. Legal basis for processing.

Our legal basis for processing personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) includes:

  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) where you voluntarily submit information
  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for website improvement and communication
  • Contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b)) where processing is required to provide requested services

4. Cookies and tracking technologies.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We sort them into three groups and ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookie. You can accept all, reject all, or choose which to allow, and you can change your choice at any time using the 'Cookie settings' link in the footer. We use Google Consent Mode, so until you consent, analytics and marketing cookies are not set.

Strictly necessary (always active):

  • Consent preferences — remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again.
  • Spam protection — Cloudflare Turnstile protects our forms from automated abuse.

Analytics (only with your consent):

  • Google Analytics 4 — measures how visitors find and use the site (pages viewed, time on page, scroll depth) so we can improve it.

Marketing (only with your consent):

  • Google Ads — measures which ads lead to enquiries and supports remarketing.
  • LinkedIn Insight Tag — measures LinkedIn ad performance and lets us show relevant LinkedIn ads to people who have visited the site.
  • OpenAI Ads Pixel — measures which OpenAI ads lead to clicks on our demo and contact links and to submitted enquiries. It runs only after you accept marketing cookies. We do not manually pass customer identifiers to OpenAI.

These providers may process data on our behalf or as independent controllers; see Google's, LinkedIn's and OpenAI's privacy policies for details. You can withdraw consent at any time via the 'Cookie settings' link in the footer; measurement stops immediately.

5. Analytics.

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools may collect information such as:

  • IP address
  • Device and browser type
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on pages
  • Referring URLs

Analytics data is used exclusively for statistical and improvement purposes.

Where applicable, analytics providers may process data on our behalf under data processing agreements.

6. Identifying companies that visit our website.

We use Lead Forensics, a service provided by Lead Forensics Ltd, Portsmouth, United Kingdom, to identify which companies visit our website. When you visit, your IP address and basic information about your visit are sent to Lead Forensics. This includes the pages you view, the page you came from, your browser type and your screen size. Lead Forensics matches the IP address against a database of business IP addresses. If it belongs to a business, we see the company name and the pages visited. We do not see who you are as a person. This service does not use cookies.

Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding which businesses are interested in our products (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). You can object to this processing at any time by writing to info@sbtinstruments.com.

Lead Forensics processes the data in the United Kingdom. The European Commission recognises the United Kingdom as providing an adequate level of data protection.

7. Data sharing and processors.

We may share personal data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us with:

  • Website hosting
  • Analytics
  • Email communications
  • IT infrastructure

All data processors are bound by data processing agreements and are required to process personal data securely and in accordance with GDPR.

We do not share personal data with third parties for marketing resale purposes.

8. International data transfers.

If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses
  • Adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission

9. Data retention.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:

  • Responding to inquiries
  • Maintaining business records
  • Complying with legal obligations

Data submitted through contact forms is retained only as long as relevant for the inquiry or business relationship.

10. Your rights under GDPR.

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency
