GDPR doesn’t change what we use your personal data for, but it does makes it easier for you to find out how we use and protect your information and for you to be assured it’s only used for what you intended.
Your personal data is at the heart of us to providing our services to you; it includes managing the development of quotations and invoicing where needed. Our local data protection procedure (available to you on request) has assessed that the lawful basis for managing and storing your data is as a legitimate interest.

For us to use your data in this way, we need to gain your consent as a lawful basis. We will seek this consent via enquiry form and email exchanges, the record of this consent will be stored and you have the right to withdraw your consent upon request.
