Data Practices

Leicester Toolhouse Hire operates in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We only collect the minimum personal information required to process tool-hire requests, deliveries and returns.

Information We Collect

When you fill out a form, call or email us, we may record your name, phone number, email address and delivery notes. For business clients, a company name and invoice address may also appear on the booking record.

Why We Use It

Your details are used solely to handle hire agreements, confirm timing, or send safety updates related to hired tools. Occasionally, we may send a brief note about seasonal opening hours or new kit categories — only if you have chosen to receive such messages.

Storage and Retention

All booking data is stored on encrypted systems within the UK. Paper delivery notes are kept in a locked cabinet and destroyed within 12 months. Email correspondence remains archived for up to 24 months for auditing.

Your Rights

You have the right to request a copy of your data, ask for correction of inaccuracies, or request deletion where lawful. To act on these rights, contact [email protected] or write to 18 Granby Street, Leicester LE1 1DE. We respond within 30 days.

Data Sharing

We do not sell or trade personal data. Limited sharing may occur with trusted logistics partners who deliver or collect equipment. They receive only what is necessary for completing your booking.

Security Measures

Our systems use password management, encrypted cloud storage and regular audits. Access is limited to authorised staff who are trained in data-handling practices.

Cookies and Analytics

Basic cookies measure anonymous site visits and keep forms responsive. Full details appear on the Cookie Choices page. No advertising trackers or behavioural profiling scripts are installed.

Contact and Complaints

If you believe your data has been mishandled, please write to us first. You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
