Requesting quotes or information

If you’d like to request and receive quotes or information for the Product (“Quotes”), please complete and submit our webform.
Once we’ve received your request, we’ll connect you with one or more relevant Partners who will contact you in response to your request. In order to connect you with the Partner(s), we share the information that you provide to us via our webforms with those Partner(s). We’ll tell the Partners who you are, and your Product requirements, and they’ll then contact you directly with your requested Quotes. Our webforms will ask for your consent before your details are submitted. This statement sets out that Partners will contact you.
For certain Products, before connecting you with relevant Partners, we may call you to confirm your details or requirements.
You can choose which Partners to buy from, but there is no obligation to purchase from any of them.
Currently we work with several Partners including Leads 2 Trade Ltd.
Other than where we state in this Privacy Policy, we do not share your data with anyone else or use it for any other purpose, except on an aggregate and anonymous basis. This means that we also do not transfer it to any advertising network, or use it to build user profiles.

Contact details and product requirements
If you complete our webform in order to request Quotes or to book an appointment, it will ask you for your contact details, such as your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, and/or postal code.

You are not required to submit this information to us and, if you change your mind, you can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email.

Transferring Your Data
Depending on the countries in which you’re looking for Service Providers, we may transfer your data outside the UK. As of 1 January 2021, the UK is no longer a part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). This means that your data may be transferred outside of the UK to countries inside the EEA, or to another country outside of the EEA. For example, if you’re looking for Service Providers in the USA, we may need to transfer your data to the USA.Although the UK is no longer part of the EEA, we will still hold your data to the same level of protection as we did when we were part of the EEA. This means that for any transfer of your data outside of the UK, we will continue to take steps to ensure that it is protected to the same level of protection that applies to transfers of data outside of the EEA.Certain countries have a European Commission adequacy decision, which means they are considered to offer an adequate level of data protection and we will continue to only transfer data to those countries on this basis.Other countries do not have the same level of legal protection as countries in the EEA, or with an adequacy decision. If we do transfer your data in this way, we will take steps to ensure that it is protected to the same levels that apply in the EEA. This may include, for example, adopting the EU’s standard contractual clauses.
Storing Your Data
We have a data retention policy, which clearly sets out how long we keep data for, and for what reasons.We will keep your data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose/s for which it was collected in the first place, i.e. as set out in this Privacy Policy.For example:We will keep your request for Quotes for 6 months after you make the request to enable us to resolve any queries from Service Providers, should they arise.
If you haven’t opted out of receiving marketing from us, we will keep your details, and send you emails, until such time as you don’t engage with our emails for a period of 6 consecutive months.
Following the periods set out above, we will not use the data, save that we will hash/anonymise the same, and retain it for a further 3 years for compliance purposes.
