Privacy

I collect the details you type into the enquiry form, and, if you agree to it, anonymous counts of which pages get visited. There are no advertising pixels, nothing is sold or shared, and nothing is set in your browser unless you say yes.

• Your name, so I know who I'm replying to.
• Your business name, so I can look at what you do before I ring you.
• Your email address, to reply to you.
• What you need and anything else you tell me, so the first call is useful.

All of it is optional in the sense that you don't have to use the form: you can email or ring me instead.

The site is hosted by Netlify, who run the form that passes your enquiry to me, so it passes through their systems on the way. I read it in my own email. Nobody else is involved and I don't pass it on.

The legal basis is your consent: you filled in a form asking me to get in touch. The purpose is to answer your enquiry and, if we work together, to run the job.

If we don't end up working together, I delete the enquiry within twelve months. If we do, I keep what I need for the work and for my accounts, which HMRC requires me to hold for six years.

You can ask me what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email hello@kestrelbuild.co.uk and I'll do it, normally the same week and within one month at the latest. It costs you nothing.

If you think I've handled your data badly you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk (opens in a new tab), though I'd rather you told me first so I can put it right.

I use Google Analytics to count visits, so I can see which pages are worth keeping and which are dead weight. It is the only thing on this site that sets cookies, and it does not load at all until you agree to it. Say no and nothing is requested from Google, ever — not a cookie, not a page view, not your IP address.

If you say yes, Google receives the page you looked at, roughly where in the world you are, and what kind of device you are on. I can see those as totals. I cannot see who you are, and I do not sell or share any of it. Google is the processor for that data and their own notice covers what they do with it.

Changed your mind? Clear this site's data in your browser settings and you will be asked again next time.

Separately, the site stores one small flag in your browser so the opening animation only plays once per visit. That is not a cookie, it never leaves your device, it tells me nothing about you, and it clears when you close the tab.

If this notice changes I'll update this page. It was last updated on 3 November 2026.
