Who is responsible for your information

David Weston Construction is responsible for personal information collected through this website. You can contact us using the details shown on the Contact Us page.

What we collect

When you make an enquiry, we may collect:

• your name, email address and telephone number;
• your property address and postcode;
• the status of architectural drawings, engineering plans, planning permission or Building Regulations approval;
• documents, plans, drawings or photographs you choose to upload;
• the date and source of the enquiry; and
• limited technical information generated by the website or hosting service, such as IP address, browser information and server logs.

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in messages or files.

Why we use it

We use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries and discuss possible projects;
• prepare quotations and take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
• manage project communications and records if work proceeds;
• protect the website and our systems from spam, fraud or misuse; and
• meet legal, accounting, insurance or regulatory obligations where they apply.

The lawful basis we rely on will usually be taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, performing a contract, pursuing our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the business, or complying with a legal obligation.

Who we may share information with

We only share personal information where reasonably necessary. This may include providers used to host and operate the website, deliver email or store files, professional advisers, insurers and public authorities where disclosure is required by law. We do not sell customer personal information.

If a service provider processes personal information outside the UK, we use or require an appropriate safeguard where UK data protection law requires one.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected and for any relevant legal, accounting, insurance or dispute requirements. If an enquiry becomes a project, relevant contractual, project and financial records may need to be kept for longer.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal information and, in some cases, the right to data portability. To exercise a right or raise a data-protection concern, contact us using the details on the Contact Us page.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Information Commissioner’s Office (opens in a new tab)

Your right to object

Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object to that processing. We will consider the circumstances and stop the processing unless there are compelling legitimate grounds to continue or the information is needed for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Using this website

You may use this website to learn about our work and services and to contact us about a potential project. You must not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation, introduce malicious code or use it for unlawful purposes.

Enquiries are not contracts

Sending an enquiry, receiving an acknowledgement, discussing a project or receiving general information does not, by itself, create a building contract or require either party to proceed.

Any project that goes ahead will be subject to the scope, price, programme and contractual terms agreed separately in writing.

Website information

We take reasonable care over the information on this website, but it is general information only. It is not a substitute for project-specific architectural, structural, planning, building control, legal, financial or other professional advice. Suitability, scope, price, programme and any project-specific commitments are only established through the relevant written quotation or contract.

Files and information you send

You should only upload files and information that you are entitled to share with us and that are relevant to the enquiry. Do not upload unlawful, malicious or infringing material. If a file contains information about another person, you should have an appropriate reason or authority to share it.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, website content is owned by us, licensed to us or used with permission. Nothing on this website transfers any intellectual property rights to you. Content may not be copied, republished or commercially reused without the relevant rights holder’s permission, except where the law allows.

Availability and liability

We may update, suspend or change the website when reasonably necessary and cannot guarantee that every feature will always be available or error-free.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where the law does not allow it to be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Nothing in these website terms affects any statutory rights you have as a consumer.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss caused solely by circumstances beyond our reasonable control or by content on third-party websites that we do not control.

Governing law

These website terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, this does not take away any protection or right you have under mandatory consumer law, including any applicable right to bring proceedings in the courts available to you by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms when the website or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be published here. If you have questions about these terms, contact us using the details on the Contact Us page.
