Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data sent from our server and stored on your computer’s hard drive.

Some of the cookies we use are essential for parts of the Website to operate and are already set. These are strictly necessary for the delivery of information requested by you and without them the Website cannot operate as intended. As an example, we may use cookies to store information in an estimate request form as you complete it. We also use cookies and other such devices to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our Website and to help us improve the structure of our Website (we cannot identify you personally in this way). We use cookies and other such devices to allow us to understand who has seen which pages on the Website, to determine how frequently particular such pages are visited, to determine the most popular areas of the Website and generally in order to monitor usage of the Website.

We may also use cookies and other such devices:

Security and data retention

We employ standard security measures to protect your personal information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. We will retain your personal information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires.

Accessing and updating your information

In accordance with applicable laws, you have certain rights in relation to data that we hold about you, i.e:

(a) to ask for access to it;

(b) to ask for errors in it to be corrected;

(c) to ask for it to be erased;

(d) if not erased, then to ask us to restrict its processing;

(e) to object to its processing for specific purposes; or

(f) to ask for a copy to take to another provider.

Some rights may be restricted where legal and professional obligations require this. Where we process any data based on consent that you have given in the past, then you are always allowed to withdraw your consent at any time (though the processing that took place before such withdrawal will still be legal). The main ways to do this are by contacting us via the contact details below

Assuming no legal restrictions apply, access to personal information will be granted to a correctly identified person on any weekday during office hours on the basis that a reasonable fee is paid for retrieval of the information and provided that reasonable notice is given and we will respond in a reasonable time-frame. Where such payment is not made access will be denied until the payment is made.

We are always willing to help resolve any issues or doubts you may have in relation to the processing of your data. If you believe that your rights have not been respected at any time then you may also have a right to complain to the relevant Supervisory or Data Protection Authority in your country to ask them for a resolution.

Changes to our privacy policy

Any changes to our privacy policy in the future will be posted to the Website and, where appropriate, through e-mail notification.
