Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Lightning Protection Testing UK tests, installs and maintains lightning protection systems. Our head office is at 132 The Broadway, Darlington DL1 1EL. For anything in this policy, email info@lightningprotectiontestinguk.co.uk or call 01325 787271.

2. What we collect

When you use our quote form we collect what you type in: your name, email address, phone number, postcode, the service you need and your message. We do not ask for anything else, and you do not need to create an account.

If you email or phone us, we keep the details you give us so we can deal with your enquiry.

3. Why we use it

1. To reply to your enquiry and send you a quote.
2. To arrange and carry out the work if you book us, and to send reports, certificates and invoices.
3. To remind you when a test or inspection is due, if you are already a customer. You can ask us to stop at any time.

Our legal basis is taking steps at your request before a contract, carrying out a contract with you, and our legitimate interest in running the business. We never sell your details or pass them to anyone for marketing.

4. Who else sees it

Form messages are delivered to our inbox by an email delivery service acting on our behalf. Our website host and email provider store data for us under their own security terms. Apart from that, we share your details only where the law requires it.

5. How long we keep it

Enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted within 24 months. Records of work we carry out, including test reports and certificates, are kept for as long as the system needs them and to meet our legal and tax duties.

6. Your rights

You can ask to see the details we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete them, ask us to stop using them, or object to how we use them. Email us and we will reply within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your details, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
