Disclosure of your Personal Information
We may pass your personal data to third parties who are service providers, debt recovery agents, Field Tracing Agents and subcontractors to us, for the purposes of recovering monies owed to our firm and all within our legitimate interests.
Requesting personal data we hold about you (subject to access requests)
You have the right to request access to your personal data the we hold. Such requests are known as ‘subject access requests’ (SARs).
Please provide all SARs in writing marked for the attention of —————— .
To help us provide the information you want and deal with your request more quickly, you should include enough relevant details to enable us to verify your identity and locate the relevant information. For example, you should tell us:
Your name and address
The address where work took lace
The date when work took place
Any invoice numbers relating to the work which took place
What type of information you want to know?
DPA 2018 requires that we comply with a SAR promptly and in any event within 1 month of receipt. There are, however, some circumstances in which the law allows us to refuse to provide access to personal data in response to a SAR (e.g. if you have previously made a similar request and there has been little or no change to the data sine we complied with the original request).
You can ask for someone else to request information on your behalf for example, a friend, relative or solicitor. We must have your authority to respond to a SAR made on your behalf. You can provide such authority by signing a letter which states that you authorise the person concerned to write to us for information about you, and/or receive our reply.
Where you are a data controller and we act for you as a data processor (e.g. service agent or installer), we will assist you with the SARs on the basis as is set out above.
Putting things right (the right to rectification)
You have the right to obtain the rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning you that we hold. You also have a right to have any incomplete personal data that we hold about you completed. Should you become aware that any personal data that we hold about you is inaccurate and/or incomplete, please inform us immediately so we can correct and/or complete it.
Withdrawal of Consent
Where you have consented to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Please inform us immediately if you wish to withdraw your consent.
Please note:
The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing
If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to continue to provide services to you.
Even if you withdraw consent, it may remain lawful for us to process your data on another legal basis (e.g. because we have a legal obligation to continue to process data).
Automated decision-making
We do not intend to use automated decision-making in relation to your personal data.
Complaints
If you have requested details of the information we hold about you and you are not happy with our response, or you think we have not complied with the GDPR or DPA 2018 in some other way, you can complain to us. Please send any complaints to
