We only use your personal information for marketing where you have positively opted in by giving unambiguous consent to do so or you have provided permission to other organisations to allow us to market to you, for example, via Facebook.
We rely on marketing to help improve our services and customer experiences and by using the information you provide us we are able to contact you with specific marketing messages based on your preferences.

Who we share your data with
We use a trusted supplier to invoice HEDGE ESTATE CONTRACTING clients. We do not share or sell your data to any other company for marketing purposes.
However, we utilise trusted suppliers in marketing solutions to administer services that you have agreed to receive, for example:
- mailing houses to despatch our promotions, magazine, letters and event advertising
- website hosting companies which we use to administer our website content
as and when required we will share accident and incident information with the Health and Safety Executive, our insurers and our solicitors.
We sometimes use trusted suppliers to help us with marketing:
- email service providers to send our emails and manage your marketing permissions
- mailing houses to send out marketing by post
- telemarketing agencies to contact you by phone or SMS
- an organisation which helps us keep your information accurate and up to date
- Some of our suppliers may operate outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This requires us to ensure they provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with UK data protection law, for example the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. By submitting your personal information to us you agree to this transfer, storing or processing at locations outside the EEA.
- Under some circumstances we may be required to disclose or share your information without your consent, for example if we are required by the police, the courts or for other legal reasons.
How we keep your personal information up to date
HEDGE ESTATE CONTRACTING has a legal obligation under data protection legislation to keep the personal information it collects accurate and up to date. Among other things, it helps us ensure that we do not contact you with inappropriate information and marketing messages.
We keep your information accurate by:
- giving you the opportunity at any time to contact us to correct or change your information.
- screening your name and postal address information against Royal Mail’s National Change of Address File: where you have given your permission to Royal Mail, we can either update our records with your new address or note you have moved so we don’t send anything to your old address.
- using information publicly available to us.
- If you contact a member of our team we may ask you to confirm certain details.
- when we receive undelivered mail or emails.
It’s important for both you and us that your personal information is correct. If you believe this not to be the case then please e-mail the amended details to hedge.estatecontracting@gmail.com and we will contact you to verify your identity.
