We may share information in specific situations described here and/or with the following categories of third parties.

Use of cookies and other tracking technologies

Our website utilises cookies and various tracking technologies to gather and retain anonymised information.

We deploy cookies and analogous tracking mechanisms, such as web beacons and pixels, for retrieving or preserving data and for analytical purposes. Detailed insights on our application of these technologies and instructions for opting out of specific cookies can be found in our Cookie Notice at http://www.enevo.co.uk/cookies.

Information Retenetion

We retain your personal information only for a reasonable duration necessary to fulfil the objectives specified in this privacy notice, except as mandated by law.

We commit to holding your personal information solely for the time required for the purposes outlined in this privacy notice, unless a more extended retention period is necessitated or allowed by law (e.g., for tax, accounting, or other legal reasons). The GDPR requires us to retain data for no longer than reasonably necessary. In the delivery of certain services (e.g. Building Control), this will be up to a period of 15 years in conjunction with current laws and contractual obligations as set out by our governing body, Construction Industry Council (CIC). Our Privacy Policy continues to apply to all former clients, and data will be confidentially shredded by a certified company after a period of 15 years in line with the CIC standards.

Should there be no continuing legitimate business justification to process your personal information, we will proceed to either delete or anonymise it. If deletion or anonymisation is not feasible (for instance, if your personal information is stored in backup archives), we will securely store and isolate your personal information from any further processing until deletion can be achieved.

How do we keep your information safe?

Our goal is to safeguard your personal information through organisational and technical security measures.

We have established suitable technical and organisational security safeguards aimed at protecting the security of personal information we handle. However, it is important to acknowledge that no method of electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be considered entirely secure. Consequently, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot assure or guarantee that our security measures will prevent all attempts by hackers, cybercriminals, or unauthorised parties to bypass these protections and unlawfully collect, access, steal, or alter your information.

We are committed to doing our utmost to secure your personal information, but the transmission of information to and from our Services is undertaken at your own risk. We advise accessing our Services only within a secure environment to minimise potential risks.

Do we collect information from minors?

We do not knowingly collect data from, nor do we market to, children under the age of 18.

We do not intentionally solicit data from or engage in marketing activities targeted at individuals under 18 years of age. By engaging with us or using our Services, you affirm that you are over 18 years old. Should we discover that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from individuals under 18, we will undertake necessary actions to swiftly remove the information from our records. If you are aware of any information we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at info@enevo.co.uk.

Controls for do-not-track features

Most web browsers, along with some mobile operating systems and applications, offer a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting that allows you to express your preference not to be tracked during your online activities. However, as of now, there is no universally accepted technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals. Therefore, we currently do not act in response to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically indicates your decision against online tracking.

Should an online tracking standard be established and required for us to adhere to in the future, we will update you on our practices by issuing a revised version of this privacy notice.
