We collect this information from a number of different sources; namely:
WEBSITE All enquiries submitted through our contact form are collected by a third party application (Contact Form 7) that allows us to keep a record of each enquiry should the email go astray. We also receive all enquiries as emails to a dedicated inbox.
If you don’t want your enquiry and its associated identifying data stored in this manner, please send your enquiry directly to us [mailto: info@mdc-scanner.de] or call us directly on +44 (0)118 944 8811.
FACE TO FACE (TRADE SHOWS, EVENTS AND MEETINGS) If you visited us at a trade show or event and allowed us to scan your event badge or provided us with a business card or we manually jotted down your contact information, your data will be added to our CRM database.

MARKETING AND NEWSLETTERS We send regular marketing emails and newsletters to help keep our customers abreast of changes within the industry and to market our services.

If you supplied your details at a trade show, event or meeting, the PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulation) regulation 22 facilitates a ‘soft opt-in’ that allows us to contact customers who have purchased from us or expressed interest in our services even if they haven’t explicitly opted in to marketing activity. In this instance we may send you a one-off email confirming how we got your information, a summary of the services we offer and provide the option to opt-in to future marketing. If however you decide not to opt-in, you will not be contacted again, regardless if you unsubscribed or not.
