What information we collect

We collect information you choose to give us, principally through the "Discuss Your Melt Process" technical enquiry form. This may include:

• Your name, company and work email address
• Your job title or role, and country or region (optional)
• The topics you would like to discuss and the message you provide

We do not ask for, and you should not include, confidential or commercially sensitive production information in an initial enquiry.

Why we process it

We use the information you submit to respond to your enquiry, understand your process context, and determine whether a further technical conversation would be useful. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, and/or your consent given at the point of submission.

How long we keep it

We retain enquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and maintain a record of the conversation, and in any event for no longer than 24 months from your last contact with us, unless we are required to keep it for longer to comply with a legal obligation.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your information. It may be shared among the DIGI-HSMC consortium partners named above where relevant to your enquiry, or with service providers who help us operate this website, acting under our instructions. We may disclose information where required by law.
