By using the website or submitting information through any online form or communication channel associated with Landscapers Kenton, you acknowledge the practices described below.

Information We May Collect

Landscaping services often require basic details in order to provide quotes, schedule visits, and respond to customer requests. Information collected may include personal, project-related, and technical data depending on how you interact with the service.

Personal details such as your name, email address, phone number, and address when you request a service or ask for an estimate.
Project information including the type of work required, property size, preferred materials, garden style, or timing preferences.
Communication records from messages, calls, emails, or form submissions related to your enquiry.
Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, and general usage information if you browse the website.
Service history including previous work completed, maintenance schedules, and follow-up notes where relevant.

Not every visitor will provide all of this information. The details collected depend on the nature of the enquiry and the way the website or service is used.

How Information Is Used

Information is used to provide a better customer experience, improve service delivery, and manage communications efficiently. Landscaping work is often tailored to individual properties, so accurate information helps ensure that quotations and services are relevant.

Common uses may include:

Responding to enquiries and providing quotes for landscaping services.
Planning and delivering services such as garden maintenance, turfing, decking, fencing, planting, or hard landscaping.
Managing appointments and coordinating site visits or follow-up work.
Improving service quality through analysis of customer needs, feedback, and communication patterns.
Keeping records for administration, project tracking, and internal business operations.
Supporting legal and security obligations where needed, including fraud prevention and compliance requirements.

Information is only used for legitimate business purposes and to support the services requested by customers or website visitors.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Where applicable, personal data may be processed under a lawful basis recognized by data protection principles. These bases often include consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests, or compliance with legal obligations.

For example, if you ask for a landscaping quote, certain details are needed to prepare an accurate response. If you agree to receive updates or further communication, your information may be used for that purpose. In some cases, data may also be processed to protect the business, maintain records, or meet regulatory requirements.

The exact legal basis depends on the type of data and the purpose for which it is used.

Sharing Information

Landscapers Kenton does not sell personal information. However, information may be shared in limited situations when necessary to provide services or operate the business effectively.

Possible sharing scenarios include:

Service providers that help with administration, communication, website hosting, or business operations.
Subcontractors or specialists involved in delivering particular landscaping tasks, such as paving, electrical work, or structural elements, where coordination is required.
Professional advisers such as accountants, insurers, or legal advisers when appropriate.
Authorities or regulators if disclosure is required by law, court order, or lawful request.

When information is shared, reasonable steps are taken to ensure it is handled securely and only for the necessary purpose.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the service, and any legal or accounting requirements.

For example, enquiry records may be kept for a reasonable period in case a customer returns with a related request or to support administrative follow-up. Project records may be retained longer where there is an ongoing service relationship, warranty consideration, or legal necessity.

When information is no longer needed, it should be securely deleted, anonymized, or archived in line with internal retention practices.
