Your privacy.

Who we are

This website belongs to Trade Force Construction, run by Ethan. We are plasterers working across Central Scotland. On this page, "we" and "us" mean Trade Force Construction.

We decide how your information is used, so we are responsible for keeping it safe.

What our enquiry form collects

When you send us the form, we get:

• your first name
• your surname, if you choose to give it
• your phone number
• your email address, if you give it
• the type of job
• anything you tell us about the job

We also get the date and time you sent it, the page you sent it from, the page you were on before that, and any advert or campaign tag in the web address, for example from one of our Google adverts or our Google profile. We use that to see which pages and adverts bring in work. We also keep the internet address your device used, which helps us block spam.

Why we collect it

We use your details to:

• reply to your enquiry
• give you a quote
• arrange and carry out the work if you book us

We only use your details for your job. We do not sell them. We do not add you to a mailing list.

The law lets us use your details this way because you asked us to get in touch about a job. If you book work with us, we also need your details to do the job we agreed.

If you leave an email address, we send you one email to say we got your enquiry. Our website company sends it for us.

Checking you are a real person

Our form uses a tool called Turnstile, made by Cloudflare. It checks that a real person is sending the form and not a computer program. To do this it looks at things like your browser and your IP address. You can read how Cloudflare handles this at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

If the check does not work, we take you back to the form and fill it in again for you. Your browser holds a copy of what you typed so you do not lose it. This copy stays on your own device. We delete it as soon as the form is filled back in, and it is gone when you close the tab.

Photos and messages on WhatsApp

You can send us photos of the job on WhatsApp. WhatsApp is owned by Meta, and it carries your messages and photos to us. We only use them for your job.

How long we keep your details

• If you do not go ahead with a job, we delete your enquiry after 12 months.
• If we do work for you, we keep your details and job records for 6 years. Tax law says we must keep business records for this long.

After that we delete them.

Cookies and Google

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see how people use this website, so we can make it better. It uses a cookie. Cookies are small files that a website saves in your browser.

Google Analytics only gives us totals, such as how many people opened a page. We have switched off Google's advertising features and data sharing for it, and it is not linked to our adverts. If you would rather it did not run, turn off Google Analytics. Your choice is remembered in this browser. We also honour the Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control settings.

The first time you visit, we also ask if we can use Google's advert cookies. If you say yes, Google Ads can see which advert brought you here and whether it led to a call, a message or an enquiry.

If you say yes and then send us an enquiry, your email address and phone number are scrambled before they leave your browser. Google Ads uses them only to check whether one of our adverts led to your enquiry.

If you say no, or do not choose, the advert cookies stay off. Saying no also turns off Google Analytics. Google may still get basic facts that do not use cookies, such as that a page was opened.

We save your choice in your browser under the name tf_consent. This means we do not ask you again on every page. It stays on your device and is not sent to us.

To change your choice, clear the saved data for this website in your browser settings. We will then ask you again.

Visitor counting

We count how many people visit this website, which pages they open, how far down each page they read, how they found us and how many get in touch or start our quote form. We keep daily totals only. No cookie is set, no IP address is stored and nothing identifies you or follows you between visits. We use the totals to improve the website and share them with nobody except the company that looks after it for us.

If you came from one of our Google adverts, our Google profile or another link with a campaign tag, we also count which one it was. To do this, the links you tap on this website carry the tag in the web address. Nothing is saved on your device.

If you would rather not be counted, stop counting my visits. Your choice is remembered in this browser. We also honour the Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control settings.

Our website host

Like most websites, our host keeps short records of visits to keep the site safe and working. These include IP addresses. They are deleted after a short time.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the details we hold about you
• ask us to correct details that are wrong
• ask us to delete your details
• ask us to stop using your details, or to use them less
• ask us to send your details to you or someone else in a common format
• object to how we use your details

To do any of these, get in touch using the details below. We will reply within one month. It is free.

If you are unhappy
