4. How we use your personal information

We may use personal information for purposes including:

  • responding to enquiries and requests;
  • preparing quotations and proposals;
  • providing and managing our services;
  • communicating with customers, prospective customers, contractors and other business contacts;

We will only use personal information for purposes that are lawful, fair and transparent.

5. Legal bases for processing

Where the UK GDPR applies, we will rely on one or more lawful bases for processing your personal information.

These may include:

Contract: where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. This may include responding to business enquiries, managing customer relationships, operating and improving our business and website, and maintaining business records.

Legal obligation: where processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Consent: where we have asked for and obtained your consent, for example where consent is required for certain non-essential cookies or marketing activities.

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

6. Enquiries and contact forms

If you contact us through our website, we will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, to provide a quotation or discuss our services.

Information submitted through a contact or quotation form may include your name, company name, telephone number, email address and details of your enquiry.

Please do not submit confidential information that is not necessary for us to deal with your enquiry.

7. Direct marketing

We may contact existing customers or business contacts about our services where this is permitted by applicable law.

Where the law requires consent for electronic direct marketing, we will obtain consent before sending marketing communications.

You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time by contacting us or using an unsubscribe facility where one is provided.

8. Sharing your personal information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary with:

  • employees and authorised personnel;
  • professional advisers;
  • IT, website hosting and technical service providers;
  • accountants and other professional service providers;
  • contractors, subcontractors and suppliers where necessary to provide services;
  • insurers and financial institutions where appropriate;
  • regulatory authorities, government bodies or law enforcement agencies where legally required;
  • legal advisers where necessary; and
  • other organisations where you have asked us to share information or where there is another lawful basis for doing so.

 

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that they process the information securely and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

9. International transfers

Where possible, we will keep personal information within the United Kingdom or countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.

If personal information is transferred outside the UK to a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection, we will use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards where required by law.

10. How long we keep your information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, contractual and reporting requirements.

The appropriate retention period will depend on the nature of the information and why we need it.

For example, information relating to a customer, quotation or project may need to be retained for longer than information relating to an unsuccessful general enquiry.

When information is no longer required, we will securely delete it or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our retention procedures.

11. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you have rights under UK data protection law, including the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances;
  • request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
  • object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests;
  • object to direct marketing;
  • request portability of certain personal information; and
  • withdraw consent where we rely on consent as our lawful basis.

 

These rights are subject to certain legal conditions and exemptions, so they may not apply in every situation.

If you wish to exercise a data protection right, please contact us using the contact details on our website.

We may need to request additional information to verify your identity before dealing with a request.

13. Complaints

If you have concerns about the way we use your personal information, we would encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue.

You also have the right to complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Further information about making a complaint is available from the ICO’s website.
