Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

C.Taylor Brickwork & Building ("we", "us", "our") is a bricklaying and building contractor operating in Chorley, Preston and the surrounding areas. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data when you use our website or contact us, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. What data we collect

When you get in touch through our contact form, we collect:

• Your name
• Email address
• Phone number (if provided)
• Any details you include in your message, including the service you're enquiring about

We do not knowingly collect any special category data (e.g. health information, financial details) unless you choose to share it with us in your message, and we'd ask that you avoid including anything sensitive that isn't necessary for us to quote or carry out the work.

3. How we use your data

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your enquiry and provide quotes
• Arrange and carry out building work you've asked us to do
• Keep records for accounting, insurance and legal compliance purposes

Our lawful basis for processing this data is: legitimate interest (responding to enquiries and running our business), and contract (once you engage us for work). Where required, we'll ask for your consent separately.

4. How we store and share your data

Contact form submissions are processed via Formspree, a third-party form-handling service, which transmits your enquiry to our email inbox. Formspree may store submitted data on its own servers as part of providing that service — see Formspree's privacy policy for details.

Images on this site are served via ImageKit, a content delivery service, which does not receive any personal data you submit through the contact form.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We will only share your data with others where required by law, or with our own subcontractors/suppliers where necessary to carry out work you've instructed us to do.

5. How long we keep your data

Enquiry details are kept for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and, if the enquiry becomes a job, for the duration of that work plus a period afterwards to cover warranty, insurance and accounting requirements (typically up to 6 years, in line with standard UK record-keeping practice). Enquiries that don't proceed to a job are deleted after a reasonable period if no longer needed.

6. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Ask what personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Ask us to delete your data (where we're not required to keep it for legal reasons)
• Object to or restrict how we use your data
• Ask for your data in a portable format
• Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you think we've handled your data incorrectly

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at ctaylorbuilding@gmail.com. You can find out more about your rights and how to complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
