Your personal data explained

Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. If we hold personal data about you then you are described in some cases as the data subject.

​

Our role in data management

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and will be shared only with third parties in order to provide you with the services you have requested to be carried out on your property, in registering warrantees and for compliance and accreditation purposes.

​
