Information we collect

We collect personal data necessary to respond to enquiries, prepare quotations, carry out site surveys, and deliver greenhouse design, installation and maintenance services. This includes names, business and postal addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, project details, and billing information where contracts or purchases occur. For site visits we may record site access information and health and safety contacts. When you use our website, we automatically collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited through server logs and cookies. Where you consent, analytics cookies record anonymised usage patterns to help us improve the site. For recruitment or supplier interactions we collect CVs, references and company registration details as required by the recruitment process or procurement checks. We limit collection to what is relevant and proportionate for the purposes described. Sensitive categories of data (for example health data) are only collected where strictly necessary for a specific service (for instance to implement site health and safety measures) and with your explicit consent or other lawful basis. All collection follows UK data protection principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency and minimisation.

How we use personal data

Personal data is used to provide our services, manage contracts and support customer relationships. We process contact details to respond to enquiries and schedule site visits, process orders and deliver products, and to issue invoices and warranties. Project and site data are used to produce bespoke designs, structural calculations and installation plans. Technical and usage data help us maintain and improve our website and digital services. Where required by law we retain transactional and contractual records for accounting and regulatory compliance. We may communicate service-related information such as scheduling, maintenance reminders and safety notices by email or phone. We do not sell personal data. Where we rely on consent (for example marketing communications or optional cookies) you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing necessary for contract performance. For certain services we may share data with trusted third parties such as certified installers, couriers, payment processors and professional advisors; those parties act either as processors on our instructions or as separate controllers with contracts or lawful bases in place. Any transfer of data outside the UK is subject to appropriate safeguards or adequacy mechanisms in line with data protection requirements.

Cookies, analytics and online tools

We use cookies to provide core site functionality and to support optional analytics. Essential cookies enable navigation, form submissions and security features. Analytic cookies (active only with consent) collect anonymised data about site usage such as page visits, referrers and interaction times; this helps us improve content, load times and accessibility. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising. The cookie banner you see on pages allows you to accept or reject analytics cookies; your choice is stored locally and respected until you change it. Third-party tools used for analytics are chosen for data protection compliance; where those tools transfer data, we rely on their contractual and technical safeguards. You may disable cookies via your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality. Detailed lists of cookies and their durations are available on request by contacting [email protected]. For newsletter or marketing sign-ups we only send communications to subscribers who have opted in and provide simple unsubscribe options in every message.

Data retention and security

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described, to meet legal or regulatory obligations, or to maintain our contractual relationships. Typical retention periods vary by category: enquiry records are normally retained for up to 3 years, contract and warranty documentation for up to 7 years to satisfy accounting and legal requirements, and application materials for recruitment up to 6 months unless otherwise agreed. We implement technical and organisational measures to safeguard data, including secure storage, access controls, encryption for sensitive records, regular backups and vendor due diligence. Access to personal data within our organisation is limited to staff who require it to perform their roles. Where we engage third-party processors such as payment providers or cloud storage, we use written agreements to ensure they meet security and confidentiality obligations. We perform periodic reviews of our security posture and update measures to address changing risks.

Your rights and exercising them

Under UK data protection law you have rights including the right to access personal data we hold about you, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to request erasure where processing is no longer necessary, the right to restrict or object to processing in certain circumstances, and the right to data portability for data you have provided. Where processing is based on consent you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal. To exercise your rights please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or write to Data Protection, Greenhouse Grove Ltd, 12 High Street, Cambridge CB2 1TN. We will respond to requests promptly and within statutory timescales, normally within one calendar month. If you are not satisfied with our response you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). We will also work with you to resolve concerns and provide guidance on any steps we take in response to requests or complaints.
