Information we collect

When you make an enquiry we collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, telephone number (if supplied), type of project and your message. PCC quote requests can include the property area, build stage, approvals, lender, inspection details and uploaded development drawings. Files are stored privately. Technical information may be processed to protect the website from abuse.

How we use it

We use enquiry details to respond to you, consider your requirements and maintain an appropriate record of our correspondence. Our lawful basis is usually legitimate interests in managing business enquiries or taking steps at your request before entering a contract.

Independent PCC referrals

Where relevant, Nicoll Design may discuss introducing you to an independent professional. The proposed referral will be discussed with you before your details are passed on. Any professional appointment is independent and that professional is responsible for its own privacy notice and decisions about inspections or certification.

Sharing and retention

Information may be processed by hosting or email service providers acting on our behalf. We do not sell enquiry information. Enquiries and uploaded drawings are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for quotation, correspondence and business administration. Contact the practice to ask about the applicable retention period for your enquiry.

Under applicable UK data protection law, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase or restrict your personal data, object to some processing or complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
