Privacy policy
Last updated 23 October 2026
This policy explains how Dec Anderson, trading as D.A Building Services ("we"), uses the information you give us when you visit this website or contact us. We are the controller of that information.
Who we are
Dec Anderson, trading as D.A Building Services, Saltash, Cornwall PL12. Email dabservices@myyahoo.com, phone 07940 259799.
What we collect and why
- When you ask for a quote or contact us (by the quote questions, phone, text or email): your name, phone number, email address, the town or postcode of the job, the details and any photos you send. We use this to reply, give you a quote and, if you go ahead, do the work. Our lawful basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, and afterwards performing that contract.
- The quote questions on this website do not send or store anything themselves. They prepare a message in your own text or email app, and nothing is sent until you press send there.
- Records of work we do for you: kept for our accounts and legal obligations (lawful basis: legal obligation and contract).
Visit counting
To see which pages bring enquiries, this website counts each page viewed and records when a Text or Email button is tapped: which button, which page, the type of device and, when a visit starts, the website or link it came from (for example Google). It records nothing you type and nothing that identifies you: no name, no IP address, no cookie or ID. Sitework, who manage the website and search listings, process these counts for us. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in knowing which parts of the website bring work.
For the length of your visit your browser holds the arrival source in session storage, cleared when you close the tab, so a button tapped later can be matched to it.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information. We share it only with services that help us run the business, who act on our instructions: our website host Cloudflare, Sitework (who manage the website and process the visit counts), and our email provider Yahoo. Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, they use approved safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not become work: 12 months. Customer and job records: 6 years after the job, for tax purposes. Photos of finished work are only used publicly with your permission.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict how we use it, and ask for it in a portable format. Email dabservices@myyahoo.com. We reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, 0303 123 1113.
