Who do we share your personal data with?
What are we going to do with your personal information?
All of our information is sourced direct from our customers or employees. The personal information we store is used to ensure we are able to complete the desired work for you and personalise the service that you receive as well as contact you if required regarding the work being completed. Some of the information is a legal requirement such as work notifications and therefore is stored for as long as is legally required. For employees the information stored is to ensure we are able to contact your NOK if for example something were to happen to you and to ensure compliance with HMRC and NEST pension requirements. In addition we need certain information to ensure we have adequate insurance cover to provide a safe and effective service to our customers. We will not share your information with any third parties unless we are legally required to do so or unless we have your permission to do so.
Keeping or storing your information:
If you are a customer we will keep a copy of your personal details safely and securely via password protected software or via a locked cabinet until either you request it to be removed from our database or for six years after the last completed work carried out. By holding your information for this retention period we are able to comply with professional regulation practice such as OFTEC, ensure our records are up to date and also have the information available if any complaints are received with regards to works completed. We do not transfer or store any of your information outside of the European Economic Area.
You’re Rights:
We will not charge you for a copy of the information that we hold but we may ask for proof of identity before we disclose any personal information. Once a request has been made for access to the information we store or collect, we will send you the information within 30 days either electronically or in a hard copy as discussed with the individual requesting access. We will also endeavour to transfer your information if you require to another company if you decide to leave AJS Plumbing & Heating Solutions Limited as a customer if you wish. If you request for your information to be deleted we will complete this by deleting from our software/hardware or by burning or shredding for paper information. If we feel your request for information is excessive or unfounded we may refuse to share the information with you, however you have the right to complain.
