- The business email provider used to receive and reply.
- Professional advisers or authorities where legally required.
Some providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, Benjobuilds relies on the safeguards and transfer mechanisms made available under the provider agreement and applicable UK data-protection law.
How long is it kept?
- Enquiries that do not become projects are normally deleted 12 months after the last meaningful contact.
- Records connected with paid work are normally retained for six years after the business relationship ends where needed for tax, accounting, contractual or legal purposes.
- Hosting and security logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s operational retention periods.
