If processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place prior to the withdrawal.
- Quotations, Deposits, and Online Payments
This website may facilitate payments related to agreed-upon construction projects and equipment rental arrangements.
Amounts displayed on the website represent only project deposits and do not constitute the total contract price.
When a client requests a quotation or makes a payment, we may process relevant contact information, project numbers, invoicing details, and transaction records to verify payments and manage the associated contractual arrangements.
The specific deposit amount, the agreed-upon total project price, installment schedules, and any outstanding balances will be detailed in the relevant quotations, invoices, or written agreements.
Payment records may be used to reconcile invoices, confirm payment status, process refunds, and address inquiries regarding transactions. We retain such records in accordance with applicable legal requirements and our internal record-keeping policies.

Contractors or service providers involved in agreed-upon projects (limited to information necessary for them to perform their designated tasks)
Government authorities, courts, or regulatory bodies, as required by law or where there is another lawful basis for such disclosure
Where service providers process personal information on our behalf, we take appropriate measures to establish the contractual and organizational arrangements required by applicable data protection laws.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.

If online payments are processed via Stripe, such transactions will be handled in accordance with Stripe’s applicable payment processing arrangements and its privacy policy.

The specific responsibilities of each party depend on the processing activities involved. For more information regarding Stripe’s data processing practices, please refer to the Stripe Privacy Policy.
- International Data Transfers
Some service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA).
When conducting international data transfers, we comply with the requirements set forth in applicable data protection regulations. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve reliance on an “adequacy decision,” approved transfer mechanisms, or other appropriate safeguards as required by law.
For further information regarding the applicable safeguards, please contact us using the details provided in this policy.
- Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. In determining retention periods, we take into account contractual requirements, applicable legal obligations, accounting requirements, and the need to establish or defend legal claims.
Project quotes, contracts, invoices, and payment records may be retained until the expiration of statutory accounting and tax retention periods. Certain records may be kept for longer if required by legal obligations or in the event of an ongoing dispute.
When personal information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with our records management policies and applicable legal requirements.
