INFORMATION WE COLLECT: WHAT WE COLLECT AND HOW AND WHERE WE STORE IT
We aim to ensure we don’t keep your information for longer than necessary, taking into account any legal obligations we have (e.g. to maintain records for tax or insurance purposes), and also the services which we offer.
We only collect information about you so that we can design a garden or border for you or provide you with consultancy services offered by us in relation to your garden. We believe it is legitimate for us to keep your records once the contract is formally completed, for example so that we can get in touch and review how your garden is developing, and to respond to any queries you may have in the future. You are entitled under the General Data Protection Regulations to access, correct, delete and limit processing of personal data. Please contact us with any queries using the contact details on the 'Contact' page of this website.
Correspondence and enquiries: when you get in touch with us to make a one-off enquiry, whether by phone, email or website, we will retain your information for as long as it takes to respond to, and resolve your enquiry, and for a further two years. Messages you send us electronically are stored on password-protected laptops, mobile phone or other electronic devices. We may also transfer this information to our paper records, which are held at our business address.
Plans and research: we keep all the online and paper-based information relating to the services you received from us, including Concept plans, Masterplans, Planting designs, Consultancy notes and any other information, for twelve years from completion of our contract with you. This information is kept either on password-protected electronic devices or at our business address where such records are held in paper form. If we have successive contracts with you, then all the information would be kept for twelve years following the close of the final contract.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We may provide information to third parties where required for operational purposes or as required by law or when you ask us to assist with details of contractors or suppliers. This includes passing relevant information to help fulfil any contracts we enter into with you; to assist in supplying you with information or services which you have requested we source for you; and to third parties such as our phone, IT, webhosting providers who may process information on our behalf.
Occasionally we may need to provide certain information to third parties such as our insurers, accountants, solicitors or to tax authorities or to others parties in circumstances required by law.
If we suspect that criminal activity has occurred, for example cyber-crime, or if appropriate authorities ask us to disclose information for similar reasons, we may need to share your information with them.

You have the right:
- to access your information and to receive information about its use
