This privacy policy explains how J&D Sprayers and Makeovers (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects and uses personal information when you visit jdsprayers.co.uk, ask us for a quote or get in touch with us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

J&D Sprayers and Makeovers is the data controller for the personal information described in this policy.

When you fill in our contact or quote form, call us, message us on WhatsApp or social media, or email us, we collect the details you choose to share. This usually includes:

  • details of your project, and any photos you send us

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we and the services we use automatically collect some technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, how you arrived at our site and roughly where you are (town or region level). Some of this is collected using cookies and similar technologies, described below.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential and security cookies: needed for the website to work and to protect it from attacks (for example, by our security software, Wordfence).
  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): help us understand how many people visit the site and which pages they use. Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_*, which last up to 2 years.
  • Advertising cookies (Meta Pixel): help us measure the results of our Facebook and Instagram adverts and show relevant adverts to people who have visited our site. Meta may set cookies such as _fbp, which last up to 3 months.
  • Third-party content: embedded Google Maps, Google reviews and our enquiry form may set their own cookies when they load.

Your choice: when you first visit our website, a banner asks whether you accept analytics and advertising cookies. Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel only run if you click ‘Accept all’. If you click ‘Reject non-essential’, only essential cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time by clicking Cookie Settings at the bottom of any page.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, and control how Meta uses your information for adverts in your Facebook ad preferences.

Who we share your information with

We only share your information with trusted service providers that help us run our business, and only as much as they need:

  • LeadConnector (HighLevel): provides our enquiry and quote forms and stores the enquiries we receive.
  • Google: Google Analytics (website statistics), Google Maps (the map on our site) and Google Business Profile (our reviews).
  • Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram): Meta Pixel advert measurement, and messages you send us on those platforms.
  • WhatsApp: if you choose to message us there.
  • Our website hosting provider: stores our website and its security logs, on servers in the European Union.
  • Professional advisers, such as our accountant, and authorities such as HMRC, where required by law.

International transfers

Some of our service providers, including HighLevel, Google and Meta, may process your information outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on the protections required by UK law, such as the UK–US Data Bridge or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (standard contractual clauses).

How long we keep your information

  • Enquiries and quotes that don’t go ahead: up to 2 years, so we can help if you get back in touch.
  • Customer and job records, including invoices: 6 years after the end of the financial year, as required for tax purposes.
  • Google Analytics data: 14 months.
  • Website security logs: for a limited period, normally no longer than 90 days.

  • ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete
  • ask us to delete your information
  • ask us to limit how we use your information, or object to how we use it
  • ask us to transfer your information to you or another organisation
  • withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent

To use any of these rights, contact us using the details above. We will reply within one month. There is normally no charge.

How we protect your information

Our website uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, is protected by security software and firewall rules, and access to its administration area requires two-factor authentication. Only people who need your information to do their job can access it.

Our website contains links to other websites, such as our social media pages and Trusted Trader. We are not responsible for how those websites handle your information, so please read their privacy policies.
