The property address, postcode and access contact

Messages and other correspondence
Technical information about use of this website, subject to the final analytics and cookie setup

How we use information

We may use personal information to respond to enquiries, prepare quotations, arrange and deliver services, issue reports and invoices, maintain safety and compliance records, improve our service and meet legal or regulatory obligations.

Our lawful bases

Depending on the purpose, we may process information because it is necessary to take steps at your request or perform a contract, because we have a legal obligation, because we have a legitimate business interest that does not override your rights, or because you have given consent.

Who information may be shared with

Where necessary, information may be shared with trusted subcontractors or certification partners involved in delivering the requested service; professional advisers; website, email, form, accounting or IT providers; and public authorities where required by law. We do not sell personal data.

How long information is kept

[Retention periods to be confirmed — being checked with our accountant.] Information should only be kept for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, including legal, tax, insurance, certification and record-keeping obligations.

Cookies and analytics

This website does not set analytics or marketing cookies. The site stores one small preference in your browser (whether you have dismissed the introductory-offer message) so it is not shown repeatedly. This stays on your device and is not used to identify or track you.

The home and contact pages include an embedded Google Map. When the map loads, your browser requests content from Google, which may set its own cookies and receive technical information such as your IP address. Google’s use of this information is covered by the Google privacy policy.

[To be confirmed: whether analytics or advertising tools will be added at launch. If they are, this section and the site’s consent setup will be updated first.]

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to request access, correction or deletion of personal information; restrict or object to processing; request portability; withdraw consent; and complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Contact and complaints

Questions about this policy or use of personal information can be sent to greg@whiteelectrics.co.uk. You can also find information about your rights and make a complaint through the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Updates to this policy

Last updated: [date to be inserted at launch]. This policy may be updated when services, suppliers, legal requirements or the website setup change.
