5. Website forms and service providers
Our website enquiry form uses FormSubmit to process form submissions
and deliver them to our business email address. Information entered
into that form is therefore transmitted through FormSubmit before it
reaches us.
Our website and related services may also be supported by website
hosting, email, security, file-storage and accounting providers.
These providers may process limited personal information when
providing services to us.
We only use service providers where reasonably necessary to operate
the website and business. Providers are expected to handle personal
information securely and for the relevant service purposes.
6. Sharing personal information
We may share relevant information with organisations or individuals
where reasonably necessary, including:
- Website, email and form-processing providers
- Accountants, bookkeepers and professional advisers
-
Subcontractors or suppliers involved in delivering agreed work
-
Insurers, legal advisers or authorities where necessary
-
Government departments or regulators where required by law
We will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
Where information is shared to deliver engineering work, only
information reasonably necessary for that purpose will be provided.
7. International processing
Some website, email, hosting or form-processing providers may process
information outside the United Kingdom.
Where this happens, we will rely on the provider’s appropriate
safeguards or another legally recognised mechanism for protecting
personal information.
8. How long we retain information
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably
necessary for the reason it was collected and to meet applicable
legal, accounting, insurance and contractual requirements.
Our usual approach is:
-
General enquiries that do not become customer work may be retained
for up to 24 months.
-
Customer, quotation, contract, service and invoice records may be
retained for up to six years after the relevant transaction or
business relationship ends.
-
Information may be retained longer where required for an ongoing
dispute, insurance matter, legal claim or statutory obligation.
Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or
anonymised where reasonably practical.
9. How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect
personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse,
alteration or disclosure.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can
be guaranteed as completely secure. Please avoid sending passwords,
payment-card details or other unnecessary sensitive information
through the website enquiry form.
