• Internal record-keeping and to administer any dealings that you might have with us. 
• We may use the information to improve our products and services to you.

 THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA 
We collect this data from you on at least one of the following legal bases: 
• That you have provided your explicit consent for us to do so. 
• That we need to in order to fulfil our contractual obligations to you (which includes the provision of quotations or estimates as a result of a request from you). 
• That we have a legitimate interest in doing so for our own commercial marketing activities where our use of your data is proportionate, has a minimal impact on your privacy and is an activity that you might reasonably expect us to be engaged in. 

 HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION? 
We will only retain your personal information for the minimum time that is necessary. For some purposes such as our business accounting obligations, this length of time will be determined by legislation. 

 CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION 
You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: 
• Whenever you are asked to fill in a form on our website(s), look for the box or boxes that you can choose to tick to indicate that you agree or opt-in, so that the information can be used by us for direct marketing purposes. 
• Right to withdraw consent, data retention and the right to be forgotten – If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for direct-marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by contacting us. We will comply with your request within one month of receiving it. Please note, there may be certain circumstances such as a legal obligation we may have, that mean the right to be forgotten cannot be implemented but we will inform you of this should you contact us on this basis. 
• Right of data portability – You have the right to request a copy of the data that we hold about you in order that you can reuse it for your own purposes across different services. This right is only applicable if you have given us explicit consent to process your data or if we have used it for the performance of any contract(s) we may have (had) with you. If you wish to do this, please contact us. We will provide the information in a commonly used and machine-readable format free of charge. 
• Right of access to your data – You may request details of personal information which we hold about you. If you would like a copy of the information held on you please contact us.

• Right to object to processing of your data – You have a right to object to us using your data for marketing under the basis of ‘legitimate interests’ and if you wish to do so, please contact us. 

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. 

You may request details of personal information which we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998 and the GDPR 2018. This is free but in the case of manifestly unfounded or excessive/repetitive requests we reserve the right to charge a small administration fee of £10. If you would like a copy of the information held on you, please contact us.
