WHAT INFORMATION WE WILL COLLECT & HOW WE KEEP IT SECURE
We will collect your personal data via website forms where information is freely given and by direct interaction. This information includes your name, address and contact details for the purpose of providing architectural services i.e. on a contractual basis. We need to know your personal data to enable us to provide our architectural services; either in the capacity of offering a quote or our services upon acceptance of our quote. We will not ask for more information than is necessary to let us complete our services. Occasionally we will require bank information to enable us to issue refunds as and if required. We do not store or retain this information.

We also collect personal information as part of the registration process for our monthly e-newsletter. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses. We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing info@2020architects.co.uk

We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

We will only hold your information for the duration of the project and for an appropriate time afterwards. We will not hold it for longer than is necessary.

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
We may need to share personal information with other organisations, particularly relevant councils for Planning and Building Control Applications, Mechanical Engineers, Structural Engineers, SAP Consultants and Builders.
