When you request a quote or contact us, we collect the details you provide, including your name, business name, email address, telephone number and collection site postcode. We also collect information about your paint waste, such as its type, quantity, packaging, container fill level, collection frequency and any additional notes.

If you upload photos or documents, we receive those files and their names. These may include images of paint tins, drums, IBCs or other waste, safety data sheets and supporting documents. Please only send information relevant to your enquiry and avoid including unnecessary personal or sensitive information about yourself or other people.

Our website hosting and service providers may process technical information, such as IP addresses, browser details and request or error logs, to deliver the website and maintain its security.

We use your information to respond to enquiries, assess the paint waste you describe, prepare quotations and discuss suitable collection, recycling or disposal arrangements. If you book a service, we use relevant details to coordinate collection, communicate with you and prepare associated waste documentation and financial records.

We also use information where necessary to keep our website and services secure, resolve problems, deal with complaints and meet our legal obligations.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, we rely on legitimate interests to respond to commercial enquiries, communicate with business contacts and administer our services, taking account of your rights and interests.

Where applicable, we process information to take steps at your request before entering into a contract with you, or to perform that contract. We rely on legal obligations for records and disclosures required by waste, tax or other applicable laws. Where processing requires consent, we will request it separately and you can withdraw it without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.

Relevant enquiry and collection details may be shared with collection partners, licensed recycling or disposal facilities and professional advisers where needed to assess or deliver the service. We may also disclose information to regulators or public authorities where required by law.

We use service providers for website hosting, email and internal workplace communications. Quote requests are routed to our team.

We do not sell your personal information. We aim to share only the information needed for the relevant purpose.

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, managing collections, resolving disputes and meeting legal record-keeping requirements. Retention depends on the type of record and the applicable obligation; waste documentation and financial records may need to be kept after a collection is completed.

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No website or email transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Please contact us if you have concerns about information you have sent.

Depending on the circumstances, you can request access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, erasure, restriction of processing or a portable copy of information. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent where we rely on it.

The website and its hosting services may use cookies or similar technologies needed to deliver the site and maintain security. We do not add advertising cookies through our enquiry forms. Non-essential cookies requiring consent should only be used after that consent has been obtained.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of a website work.

We may update this policy as our services or legal requirements change. The date shown on this page identifies the latest update. Please check this page when you want to understand how your information is handled.
