What information do you collect about me?
From customers we collect names, contact details e.g. email, postal address, phone number and payment details to enable us to do what we are in business to do; design, manufacture and install roofs and floors from small domestic extensions to large commercial projects. From our employees we will ask for name, contact details, date of birth, bank account number, national insurance number, tax reference number and pension information to fulfil our legal obligations as an employer.
