What we collect

AKH Roofing may collect your personal data when you instruct us to provide advice, subscribe to our newsletters, submit an online enquiry or engage in business dealings with us.

Personal data means information about you as an individual such as date of birth, gender, marital status and more detailed information that may include health questions. Any information we collect from you will only be used for the purposes of providing you with details on products and services you have asked for or discussed with us.

What we use your information for

When someone visits www.akhroofing.co.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

If you have consented to receive details of our services you can contact us at any time to have your details removed from lists or to update your information or to otherwise tell us how you would like to receive information about our services. To update your marketing preferences please email info@akhroofing.co.uk .

How long do we keep your information for?

We will only retain your data for as long as there is either a statutory requirement for us to do so or to be able to provide a service to you. This will usually require us to retain your personal data after any business relationship has ended for accounts and records purposes and to deal with any account support questions.

Sending us information over the internet

Your information is held on servers hosted by our Internet Services Provider. The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

How we use cookies

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
