  • Marketing communications – service offering

We capture these individuals’ names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, information about their gardens, families, pets, likes and dislikes, etc., to enable us to offer them the most appropriate service and to tailor that service offering to their personal circumstances, needs and expectations.When we encounter a potential customer or prospect, we discuss our services with them and ask them if they are interested in having our help before recording or processing any personal information. This constitutes the first steps of entering into a contract.

The commencement of the formal contract occurs when the individual consents to having further contact from us, e.g. to book a consultancy meeting, and allows us to record their contact information.Customer data is not transferred to a third country outside of the EEA.

*In instances where the customer has changed their mind and decides not to purchase any of our services (including a consultancy meeting) and does not subscribe to our newsletter, we will hold their data for a maximum of 6 months from the date of our last communication, after which we will delete all of their personal data.We keep an audit trail of when and how we capture this data.
