Data Protection

Under Data Protection legislation all individuals have the right to access their personal data and when processing data on your behalf we will comply with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2000. From 25 May 2018 we will also act in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and Data Protection Bill 2018. We keep all data in our secured systems. Personal Information will only be given to a third party where permission has been given or as required by the law as specified in the Regulations.

Customer reviews will only be used on the website or in other media with the express permission of the customer.

Information We Collect

We collect “non personal” and “personal information”. Non personal information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you. Personal information includes the details you use when contacting us via the website such as your name and email address. This is required for initial communications. We will only send you emails about our products and services (i.e. direct marketing) with your express consent. You have the option not to give consent and to withdraw consent at any time. You may withdraw your consent for us to contact you by contacting us at “Construction Aptitude”.

Third Party Disclosures

We don’t share, sell, or distribute your data to third parties, except as provided in this Privacy Notice. We may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers, subcontractors or third-party providers only as is necessary for the purposes of completing tasks or providing services on our behalf. However, when we use third party service providers, we only disclose the information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use for their own direct marketing purposes. We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings, and in order to establish, exercise or defend any action taken against us. When you are using our secure online payment pages, your payment is processed by a third party payment processor, who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.
