Section 7
Do we share your data?

As part of our service, it is necessary for us to submit applications to the IW Council and this involves passing on only your name(s) and address which relates to the application site.  This information is made public knowledge as part of the application process. Also, the council ask that we provide one form of contact information in order so that they can, if necessary, contact the applicant (our client) direct. In addition to this, to support our services, we may need to contact other service providers such as Structural Engineers to not only obtain a quote but to liaise on client’s behalf. We will obtain client’s approval first (either by way of our Terms of Service, phone or email) before passing on either their contact address, email or phone number. We will never use your information for marketing purposes, nor will we pass it on to third parties, without your express permission.
