Privacy Policy
When you use Checkatrade you may need to
provide us with personal information about yourself or perhaps other people.
When you provide such information, you consent to the use by us of such
information in accordance with the following privacy policy. If you send us
information about another person, you confirm that you do so in good faith and
with full accuracy to the best of your knowledge.
Your Information
Unless we specifically notify you otherwise or you have elected otherwise, any
information you provide to Checkatrade will only be used within
Checkatrade and for the delivery of Checkatrade’s services to you
and/or your nominated acquaintances. Checkatrade will use the information
for administration purposes and for the provision to you of any information
and services that you have requested. We will only disclose your personal
information without notice to you when we believe such disclosure to be
required by law or regulation, or to be necessary to protect or defend the
rights or property of Checkatrade or the safety of the public.
We will only keep a record of your information for as long as is necessary for
the purposes it was provided: for example, we will only hold your personal
information on our systems for as long as you use the service that you have
requested. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held
securely.
