Privacy notice

This notice explains how Axis Leaf Ltd uses information you give us when you contact us about buying or selling scrap metal, including through our Facebook adverts and Messenger.

Who we are

Axis Leaf Ltd is the controller of your information. We are registered in England and Wales, company number 13212290. Contact us at info@axisleaf.com.

What we collect

• Your name and the profile details Messenger shares with us when you message our page.
• Your answers to our questions: the type of business, the grades and volumes you have, and your yard location.
• Anything else you send us, such as phone numbers, emails or photos of material.

Why we use it

We use this information to reply to you, give you a price and arrange any trade. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries. If we go on to trade, we also process it to perform our contract with you and meet our legal duties.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. Meta processes Messenger conversations under its own terms. We share details with hauliers, inspectors or advisers only when needed to complete a trade.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry details for up to 24 months after our last contact. We keep trade records for as long as tax and company law requires.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or object to us using it. Email info@axisleaf.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
