7. Our legal right for processing
We rely on one or more of the following legal rights under the DPR:
· Contract – where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you or your organisation.
· Legal obligation – where processing is necessary for us to comply with the law.
· Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include operating and improving our business, maintaining website and information security, managing relationships, preventing fraud, and promoting our services responsibly.
· Consent – where we ask for and rely on your consent, for example for certain marketing or cookie-related activities.
Where we process special category personal data, we will only do so where the law allows us and an additional condition under data protection law applies.
8. Marketing
Where permitted by law, we may send you information about our services, events, updates or other information that may be of interest to you. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email, updating your preferences where available, or by contacting us using the details in this notice.
9. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, such as analytics tools, tags and other storage or access technologies, to operate the site, enhance user experience, understand how visitors use the site, and support security and performance.
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
· Strictly necessary technologies – required for the operation, security and core functionality of the website.
· Analytics technologies – used to help us understand how our website is used and how it can be improved.
· Preference technologies – used to remember settings or choices where applicable.
· Marketing technologies – used only where applicable and where the relevant legal requirements are met.
Where consent is required, we will request your consent before placing non-essential technologies on your device and will provide you with a clear way to manage your choices. For more information, including the current cookies we use and how to manage your preferences, please see our Cookie Notice or the cookie settings tool available on our website.
10. Automated processing, analytics and AI-enabled tools
We may use automated tools, including website analytics, cyber security monitoring, spam filtering and other technology-assisted processes, to help us operate our website, protect our systems and improve our services. We do not currently make decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing. Where we use technology-assisted tools, appropriate human oversight remains in place.
11. Who we share personal data with
We may share personal data where necessary and in compliance with the DPR with the following categories of recipients:
· companies within the Galliford Try Group;

· website, analytics, communications and marketing service providers;
· professional advisers, auditors, insurers and bankers;

· other third parties where you have asked us to do so or where you have otherwise given your consent.
Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, we require them to act only on our instructions, keep the data secure and comply with the DPR.
12. International transfers
Some of our suppliers or service providers may process personal data outside the UK. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by law. These safeguards may include the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, an adequacy regulation, or another lawful transfer mechanism. We may also carry out transfer risk assessments and implement supplementary security measures where appropriate.
13. How we protect personal data
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures include access controls, authentication measures, encryption where appropriate, logging and monitoring, security testing, supplier due diligence and staff confidentiality and awareness measures.
14. How long we keep personal data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, health and safety, reporting or contractual requirements and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing. By way of example:
· general enquiries and correspondence are typically retained for up to 12 months after closure unless a longer period is required;
· marketing preferences are retained until you unsubscribe or, where applicable, for a reasonable period after our last meaningful interaction with you;
· customer, supplier and contractual records are typically retained for the duration of the relationship and for up to 6 years afterwards, unless a longer retention period is required by law or for legal claims;
· website technical logs and security records are retained for a period appropriate to security, investigation and audit needs; and
· cookie retention periods are set out in our Cookie Notice or cookie settings tool.
Where retention periods cannot be stated precisely, we determine them by considering the nature and sensitivity of the data, the purpose for which it is used, legal and regulatory requirements, and any limitation periods or dispute risks that apply.
15. Your rights
Under the DPR, you may have the right to:
· be informed about how your personal data is used;
· request access to the personal data we hold about you;
· request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;

· withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent; and
· challenge or request human review of any solely automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects, if applicable.
These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every case. If an exemption applies or we are unable to comply with your request, we will explain why, subject to any legal restrictions.
16. How to exercise your rights
You can exercise your rights by contacting the DPO using the contact details above. You can make a request in writing or by email. We may ask for information to confirm your identity where this is necessary to protect personal data and verify that we are dealing with the correct person.
We will usually respond within one month, although this may be extended where the law allows.
17. Complaints
If you have any concerns about how we use your personal data, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection. More information is available at https://ico.org.uk/.
