Our primary goals in collecting personally identifiable information are to assist us with providing the product and services for which purposes you have instructed us to provide for you, including, but not limited, to the Product or Service, to communicate with you, and to manage your registered account, if you have one.

Information Collected Upon Registration. If you wish us to carry out work at your private home or offices etc., we will need access to certain of your personal identifiable information. The personally identifiable information that we may collect in such instances may include email address, postal address and Post Code, telephone numbers, both landline and mobile, and other information that you decide to provide us with, such as entry codes, days when you are at home or not at home, names of people connected to you to whom you may have given permission to give us access, by telephone or in person, to your property for the purposes of carrying out our contracted work.

This information will be held securely by us on our computer systems, to allow us to communicate with you or your representatives, and to work effectively for you. It will only be held during the period for which we work for you, and once that relationship has ended, all of your records will be securely deleted.
