What information do we collect from you?

We will collect and store personal information such as your name, address, telephone number and email address.  We may also store information about the services that we have provided to you including, for example, when and where we provided those services as well as what and how you paid for the services.  

The processing of your personal information is necessary:

  • because you will have asked us to do something before entering into a contract for example, provide a quote;
  • for fulfilling our contractual obligations to you; and
  • for compliance with our legal obligation to maintain financial and accounting records.
Your Rights

You have the right to question any information we have about you that you think is wrong or incomplete.  Please contact us if you want to do this.  If you do, we will take reasonable steps to check its accuracy and correct it.

You have the right to object to our use of your personal information, or to ask us to delete, remove, or stop using your personal information if there is no need for us to keep it.  This is known as the ‘right to object’ and ‘right to erasure’, or the ‘right to be forgotten’.

There may be legal or other official reasons why we need to keep or use your data.  But please tell us if you think that we should not be using it.

Before providing personal information to you or another person on your behalf, we may ask for proof of your identity and sufficient information about your interactions with us that we can locate your personal information.

How long will we keep your information for, and why?

We will retain your personal information for seven years.  This is done in order to comply with our obligation to maintain financial and accounting records, in particular the requirement to keep a record of all money received by the company.  

Security

The security measures we take to protect your personal information include:

  • limiting access to our premises to only those that we think should be there; and
  • implementing access controls to your information.
