Privacy Policy
How we handle the personal information you give us through this website.
Last updated: 9 October 2026
Exc@v8 Group (“Exc@v8”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through excav8.co.uk, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.
Information we collect
Information you give us directly: your name, email address, phone number, company name and any message you send us, through our contact form or by email or phone.
Information collected automatically: only if you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to see how visitors use this site, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive and what kind of device they use. It doesn’t tell us who you are. You can change your choice at any time from “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page (see Cookies).
How we use it
We use this information to respond to your enquiry, provide the products and services you’ve asked about, and meet our own legal and accounting requirements. We will only use it for marketing purposes if you’ve given us explicit consent to do so.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell or rent your information. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us run this website and respond to enquiries (for example, our web hosting and form-handling provider). We do not take payments through this website, so no payment processor sees your information via this site.
How long we keep it
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for, including any legal, accounting or reporting requirement.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we process it, withdraw consent you’ve previously given, and ask for your information in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Cookies
When you first visit, a banner asks whether we may use analytics cookies. Nothing beyond the essentials is set until you choose.
Essential: we remember your cookie choice in your browser, so we don’t ask on every page. Services that run the site itself (for example, our hosting provider) may also set essential cookies. These can’t be switched off.
Analytics (only if you accept): Google Analytics sets the _ga and
_ga_ cookies, which last up to two years and let it count visits and
repeat visits. Google processes this information for us.
Changing your choice: use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page. If you withdraw your consent, we stop Google Analytics and remove its cookies from your browser.
We don’t use marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, this page will be updated first and you’ll be asked again.
