1. Introduction
This Privacy Notice is to let you know how we handle your personal data. This includes what you tell us about yourself and your choices about what information you want to receive from us. This Privacy Notice explains our approach, your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
Your personal data is any information relating to you from which you can be identified.
This notice sets out:
- How we will process any personal data that we collect from you and what it will be used for; the information that you are entitled to receive from us when we collect your personal data; and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in connection with the way we handle your personal data.
- Where you provide personal data about another person, this Privacy Notice will also apply to that data so please share it with that person. This Privacy Notice applies to any personal data which you may provide to us in person, over the telephone, by email, on our website and/or by post. This Privacy Notice also applies to any personal data which we may collect from third parties about you and/or which we may collect when you access our website and/or in the course of our relationship.
You can choose not to give personal data. We may need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract and/or relationship that we have with you. If you choose not to give us this personal data, it may delay or prevent us from meeting our obligations. It may also mean that we cannot perform services so we cancel a product or service you have with us.
Wherever we refer to “processing” of personal data in this Privacy Notice this includes any combination of the following activities: collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
This Privacy Notice only applies to personal data collected by or on behalf of TC Carpentry Contractors Ltd via the company’s email/ website or by any other means.

If you follow a link to any external website or alternatively reach our website from a third party website, please be aware that these websites will have their own privacy policies, separate from ours, and we therefore do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check their policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

4. Legal basis for processing your personal data
