What this site does
This website describes painting and decorating services and publishes phone, WhatsApp and email details so you can use those to ask for a quote or book work.
Information we use
We only handle information you choose to send when you call, message on WhatsApp, or email. That may include:
- Your name and phone number
- Your email address
- The address of the property if you give it so a visit can be arranged
- Notes about the painting, decorating or wallpaper work you want done
We do not buy mailing lists. We do not collect card details through this website.
Why we use it
We use that information to answer your enquiry, agree a time, carry out the work, and keep a simple record of the work. The legal bases under UK GDPR are:
- Steps toward a contract, or performing a contract, when you ask for the service
- Legitimate interests in running a small trade business and keeping records that help with the work
- A legal obligation if we must keep information for tax or similar rules
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information. It may pass through the services you already use to contact us:
- Your phone network, if you call
- WhatsApp (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited) if you message that number
- The email provider that carries your message
We may share information if the law requires it, or with an accountant or similar adviser who is bound to keep it confidential.
How long we keep it
Enquiry and work notes are kept for as long as needed to complete the work and for a reasonable period afterwards for records, then deleted or securely destroyed. Information we must keep for tax is held for the period the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to restrict how it is used, to object to certain uses, and to receive a copy in a portable form where that right applies. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
To use these rights, call, WhatsApp or email using the details above.
