Privacy & Cookie Policy

How we handle your personal information and cookies on this website.

Last updated: 21 July 2026

This policy explains how STERLING Separation, Inc. (“STELSEP”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit stelsep.com (the “website”) or contact us through it. It also explains the cookies we use and how you can control them.

1. Who we are

The data controller responsible for your personal information is:

2. Information we collect

Information you give us. When you complete our contact form we collect the details you provide — your name, company, email address, telephone number, and the content of your enquiry. You choose what to include in your message.

Information collected automatically. If you consent to analytics cookies, we collect standard technical and usage data such as pages visited, approximate location (derived from your IP address), device and browser type, and how you navigate the site. This is collected through Google Analytics (see section 6). We do not collect this information unless you accept analytics cookies.

3. How we use your information

  • To respond to your enquiries and provide the products, quotes and support you request.
  • To communicate with you about your enquiry or an existing order or relationship.
  • If you have accepted analytics cookies, to understand how the website is used so we can improve it.
  • To comply with our legal obligations and to protect the security and integrity of our website.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Legal bases (for visitors in the UK/EU)

  • Consent — for analytics cookies. You can withdraw this at any time (see section 7).
  • Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries and to run and secure our website.
  • Legal obligation — where we are required to retain or disclose information by law.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. This website uses two categories:

Type Purpose Set only with consent?
Essential / preference Remembers your cookie choice so we don’t ask again. Stored locally in your browser; no tracking. No — required for the site to respect your choice.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4) Helps us understand how visitors use the site (e.g. _ga cookies). Yes — only after you click “Accept”.

When you first visit, analytics are disabled by default (using Google Consent Mode). No analytics cookies are set unless you accept them. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some preferences may then not be remembered.

6. Sharing your information

We share personal information only where necessary:

  • Google — where you consent to analytics, usage data is processed by Google LLC as our analytics provider. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
  • Service providers — hosting and email providers who process data on our behalf and only on our instructions.
  • Legal & regulatory — where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Some of these providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where that happens for UK/EU visitors, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Your choices and rights

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time:

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to receive a copy of the information you have given us. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at sales@sterlingsep.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).

8. Data retention

We keep enquiry information for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards to manage our business relationship and meet legal requirements, then delete or anonymise it. Analytics data is retained in line with our Google Analytics configuration.

9. Children’s privacy

This is a business-to-business website and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.

11. Contact us
