When ARC Design is used on other sites than our own, and the user clicks “request a quote”, we process name, email, address and design choices, and pass to the owner of the website ARC Design is embedded in. We will not hold this information beyond a period of 1 to 2 months. The owner of the website ARC Design is embedded in must respect your privacy, must not pass your data to third parties, or store it beyond a period of “legitimate interest”. They may however use it for their own marketing purposes.
