Controller and data we use
Getbuilding is the controller for personal information submitted directly through this website. We may process contact details, correspondence, technical identifiers, browser and device information, IP-derived location at a broad level, cookie preferences, referral data and aggregated analytics.
Purposes and lawful bases
We use this information to operate the site, answer messages, secure the service, understand readership, measure affiliate referrals and improve editorial content. Depending on the context, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, contractual steps or a legal obligation.
Cookies, analytics and affiliate links
Cookies and similar technologies may remember preferences, measure traffic and record a referral when you visit a third-party merchant through an affiliate link. A merchant has its own privacy policy and may set its own technologies after you leave Getbuilding.
Sharing and international transfers
We may use carefully selected hosting, analytics, email and affiliate service providers. Some providers may process information outside the UK or EEA, with appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections where required.
Retention and your rights
We retain information only for as long as needed for the stated purpose, legal requirements or resolving disputes. You may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to certain processing. UK readers may complain to the ICO; EU readers may contact their local supervisory authority.
Children, security and updates
The site is not directed at children. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, but no internet transmission is entirely secure. We may update this policy when the service or legal requirements change. Contact contact@getbuilding.co.uk for privacy questions.
