When do we share personal data?

We have to share some of your personal data with certain third parties so that we can provide you with our products and services.  This includes the courier and haulage companies and suppliers we use to deliver our products or landscaping materials to you or your property.

We never share your data with other third party companies unless you have consented to say that it is ok to do so.

We are required to co-operate with regulators (like the Information Commissioner’s Office or HMRC) and law enforcement agencies (like the police or the Serious Fraud Office). Although it does not happen often, regulators and law enforcement agencies can require us to share information with them as part of an investigation; this may include your personal data. We would have to disclose your personal data where we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the regulator or crime enforcement agency’s demand.

We will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

As a guide:

  • we may keep certain categories of personal data after your account is closed in order to meet any legal or regulatory requirements, or to resolve a legal dispute
  • and, because of this, we may keep different types of personal data for different lengths of time (for instance, we may need to keep certain personal data relating to your purchases in order to comply with HMRC’s VAT reporting requirements)

Your rights
