Use of cookies

A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your computer (or other electronic device) when you use our website. We use cookies on our website.

For example, we may monitor how many times you visit the website, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of a user’s internet service provider. This information helps us to build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies and the websites below tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, some of our website features may not function as a result.

For further information on cookies generally visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

How will we use the information about you?

We collect information about you so that we can:

  • identify you and manage any accounts you hold with us;
  • process your order;
  • maintain a record for your property, conduct research and carry out statistical and behavioural analysis;
  • carry out customer profiling and analyse your purchasing preferences;
  • if you agree, let you know about other products or services that may be of interest to you — see ‘Marketing’ section below;
  • detect and prevent fraud;
  • verify your identity and carry out anti-fraud checks,
  • provide you with payment options,
  • assess your application for a product, service or quote,

  • administer any finance agreements including updating you on and delivering our services,
  • monitor your use of our Websites and any response to advertising campaigns;

Where any works require specific permission or similar, we may share details of your property and any work with the relevant authority so that the necessary permissions can be granted.

Marketing

We would like to send you information by post, email, telephone, text message (SMS) or automated call about products and services, competitions and special offers which may be of interest to you.

Other businesses which we have selected carefully may also send you similar marketing messages, depending on what you agree with us.

If you have consented to receive such marketing from us, or other businesses, you can opt out at any time. See ‘What rights do you have?’ below for further information.

Keeping your data secure

We will use technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, for example:

  • access to your account is controlled by a password and user name that are unique to you;
  • we store your personal data on secure servers; and
  • payment details are encrypted using SSL technology (typically you will see a lock icon or green address bar (or both) in your browser when we use this technology).

While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred from you or to you via the internet. If you have any particular concerns about your information, please contact us (see ‘How can you contact us?’ below).
