This privacy policy explains how BREE Construction Ltd (“BREE”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you visit breeconstruction.co.uk, contact us, apply for a role, or work with us as a client, supplier or partner.

We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”).

For the purposes of UK data protection law, BREE Construction Ltd is the data controller of personal information collected through this website and our day-to-day business activities.

• Registered office. 4 Clearwater, Warrington WA5 3UZ.
• Email. enquiries@breeconstruction.co.uk
• Phone. +44 (0) 1925 000 000

We collect the following categories of personal information:

• Contact form submissions. Name, email, phone (if provided), message content and the routing tag you select (project, framework, press, careers).
• Career applications. Name, email, phone, CV, cover letter and any supporting materials submitted to careers@breeconstruction.co.uk or through partner platforms.
• Email correspondence. When you email us directly, we receive your name, email address and any information you choose to share.
• Technical data. When you visit the site, our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically logs IP address, browser type, referring URL and request timestamps for security and performance purposes.
• Cookies. See our Cookies Policy for the limited cookies we use.

We do not collect special-category data (health, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs and so on) through this website. If you provide such information voluntarily, for example in a job application, we treat it with the additional protections required by law.

We use the information we collect to:

• respond to enquiries you send through the contact form, by email or by phone;
• process and review job applications, and contact you about open roles;
• provide tendering, contracting and project-delivery services to clients and partners;
• communicate with suppliers, sub-contractors and other commercial counterparties;
• monitor and improve the website’s security, performance and content;
• comply with our legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.

We do not use your information for behavioural advertising. We do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.

Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases for processing your personal information:

• Legitimate interests. Responding to enquiries, managing client and supplier relationships, and protecting the security of our website and operations. We have considered our interests against your rights and freedoms and are satisfied the processing is proportionate.
• Contract. Where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, your employer or your supplier.
• Legal obligation. Where we are required to process information by law, including health-and-safety, tax, employment and construction-industry regulations.
• Consent. For any processing where you have given specific, informed consent (for example, opting in to a future newsletter).

We share personal information only with parties who need it to provide services to us, or where we are required to do so by law. These categories include:

• Service providers. Vercel (web hosting), our IT and email providers, and professional advisers (legal, accounting, insurance).
• Project counterparties. Clients, design teams, sub-contractors and consultants involved in delivering a specific project.
• Regulators and authorities. Where required by law (HMRC, HSE, Information Commissioner’s Office and comparable bodies).
• Successors in interest. In the event of a merger, acquisition or business reorganisation, with appropriate confidentiality protections in place.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Most personal information stays within the United Kingdom. Some service providers (including Vercel) operate from servers located in the United States and other countries with adequate protection or appropriate safeguards in place under UK GDPR. Where this is the case, we rely on UK Adequacy Regulations, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or equivalent transfer mechanisms.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected:

• Contact form enquiries. Up to 24 months from the last interaction.
• Career applications. Up to 12 months for unsuccessful applications; longer with your consent for talent-pool consideration.
• Project records. For the lifetime of the project plus 12 years, in line with construction-industry contractual limitation periods under the Limitation Act 1980.
• Financial records. At least 6 years (HMRC requirements).
• Website security logs. Up to 90 days.

Information no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. These include encrypted email, access controls, secure hosting, and ongoing review of our security practices.

No internet transmission can be guaranteed 100% secure, and you provide information at your own risk; however, we work continuously to maintain robust protection.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• Access. Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Rectification. Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure. Ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances (the “right to be forgotten”).
• Restriction. Ask us to limit how we use your information.
• Portability. Request a copy of your information in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection. Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent. Where we rely on consent, withdraw it at any time.
• Automated decisions. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

To exercise any of these rights, email enquiries@breeconstruction.co.uk. We will respond within one calendar month.
