What is classed as personal data?
Personal data in a broad sense is any information that could be used to identify you (such as your name, date of birth, email address, ip address, etc). Often, a single piece of information isn’t enough to identify you but using multiple pieces of personal information could be used to identify you directly.
What personal data we collect and why
We try and limit any personal data we collect to a minimum and aim to only keep this information as long as we feel is necessary. There are some instances where we are legally obliged to keep your information for a determined period of time (for invoices as an example).
Examples of personal information we typically collect when we do work for you:
- Name
- Company or place of business (if applicable)
- Addresses (location for the work to be carried out or address for invoicing)
- Telephone number (if you request us to call you)
- Email addresses (if you request us to email you)
Examples of personal information we collect when you use our website:
- Name (via our contact form)
- Email address (via our contact form)
- Contact number (via our contact form)
- Any information you disclose in the form
