Website cookies: Scope of Works Ltd website uses cookies to improve the users experience. As required by legislation, this website uses a cookie control system, allowing the user to give explicit permission to allow or deny the use of/saving of cookies on their computer/mobile device. Cookies are small files saved to the user’s computer/mobile device that track, save and store information about the user’s interactions with our website; this information allows us to provide users with a tailored experience whilst visiting our website.
Types of data we collect: Sometimes we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of the contract we have with you. If you fail to provide that data when we request it, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example to provide you with design services) In this case, we may have to cancel the service with you but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
How is your information used? We may use your information:
• To provide you with information relating to our website, our services that you request from us.
• To meet our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us.
• To send you communications which you have requested.
• To administer this website.
Sharing your data: Your privacy is very important to us and we confirm that we will never release your personal details to any third party for their mailing or marketing purposes.
Third Parties and Service Providers working on our behalf: We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf. However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond Scope of Works Ltd unless we are required to release information to a third party by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.
Data security and access to your personal information: The accuracy of your information is important to us. If you change email address, or any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please email: office@scopeofworks.co.uk
How long do we keep your personal data for? We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. By law we have to keep basic information about our customers for tax purposes for six years after they cease to be a customer. The data we keep may include contact, identity, financial and transaction date. In some circumstances if you ask us to delete your data, we will do this subject to any legal obligation on us to retain it.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we many demonstrate that there are compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms e.g a requirement imposed on us by law.
Request restriction of processing or your personal data. In some cases, e.g. if there are questions over accuracy, lawfulness, the requirement to hold data or you have objected to our use of your data you may ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data.

Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. This privacy policy applies only to our website and what we do.

Changes to this privacy notice and your duty to inform us of changes: We keep this Policy under regular review. This Privacy Policy is version 1 and was last updated in 2024.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), the UK Advisory Authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
