Privacy notice

Who we are

Scott Housing Consultancy Ltd, company number 17328705, is the data controller for personal information collected through this website. For privacy questions or requests, email simon.scott@shcscotthconsult.co.uk .

Information we collect

If you contact us using the enquiry form, we collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, organisation, role, work email address, telephone number (if supplied), preferred contact method and details of your enquiry. Please do not submit confidential project documents or special category personal data through the public form.

Our hosting provider may also process limited technical information, such as IP address, browser information, requested pages and timestamps, in normal server and security logs.

Why we use it and our lawful basis

We use enquiry information to respond to you, understand the support you are seeking, take steps at your request before entering into a contract where relevant, and maintain appropriate records of prospective and current business relationships.

Depending on the circumstances, our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in responding to genuine business enquiries and developing business relationships, and/or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract. We do not use the website enquiry form to obtain consent for unrelated marketing.

Who we share information with

We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support the operation of the website, email and business systems, acting on our behalf. We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

How long we keep it

Enquiry information that does not lead to an engagement is normally retained for no longer than 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless there is a clear business or legal reason to keep it longer. If an engagement proceeds, relevant records may be retained for longer where required for contractual, professional, tax, insurance or legal purposes.

International transfers

Where a service provider processes personal information outside the UK, we will use an appropriate transfer mechanism or other safeguard where required by UK data protection law.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your personal information, restrict or object to its use, or request data portability. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. To exercise a privacy right, contact simon.scott@shcscotthconsult.co.uk .
