Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25 June 2026
This policy explains how MDS Contracting Ltd ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects personal data when you use mdscontracting.co.uk or contact us through it. We are the data controller. MDS Contracting Ltd is registered in England & Wales (company no. 11393192), based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
What we collect
- Enquiry details you give us. When you submit our preview/enquiry form or email us, we collect your name, email address, project or location, the details of what you would like modelled, and anything else you choose to include.
- Technical data. Our hosting and security provider records standard information such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, to keep the site secure and working.
- We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
How and why we use it
- To respond to your enquiry and prepare the free model preview or other information you request.
- To carry out and manage any work you go on to engage us for.
- To keep the website secure and to meet our legal and accounting obligations.
Our lawful bases under UK GDPR are your consent and our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and running our business, and, where relevant, taking steps to enter into a contract with you.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site and respond to you, under appropriate agreements:
- Web3Forms — processes our enquiry form and delivers submissions to our inbox.
- Cloudflare — hosts the website and provides content delivery and security.
- Our email provider, and professional advisers or authorities where we are legally required to share information.
Some providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, appropriate safeguards (such as UK/EU approved transfer mechanisms) apply.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry data only as long as needed to respond to you and for our legitimate business and legal records, after which it is securely deleted. If your enquiry does not lead to work, we delete it once it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, email info@mdscontracting.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
