What information we collect

• Enquiry forms: your name, phone number, email address, address, postcode, preferred contact method, the service you are interested in and any message you write.
• Reviews: your name, town, star rating and review. Your email address, if you give one, is never published.

• Spam protection: we record your IP address with form submissions and keep a block list of senders who send spam.

Why we use it and our lawful basis

We use enquiry details to reply to you and to provide the service you ask about (legitimate interests and steps before a contract). We use statistics and IP addresses to run, secure and improve the website (legitimate interests). Reviews are published with your consent.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. Enquiries are emailed to the business owner and, where applicable, to the customer email address set up for the site. We use hosting and email providers who process data on our behalf. If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may receive anonymised usage data (see our cookie policy).

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for as long as we need them to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards, and we delete statistics and logs after about a year.
