Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Heat Pumps Leicester collects when you use this website or send us an enquiry, how we use and share it, who we pass it to, and how you can stop contact at any time.

Who We Are

Heat Pumps Leicester (heatpumpsleicester.uk) connects homeowners in Leicester and Leicestershire with our network of vetted, MCS-certified partner installers for heat pumps, solar panels and battery storage. Installations are carried out by our partner installers, not by this website.

For UK GDPR purposes the data controller is Heat Pumps Leicester, the operator of heatpumpsleicester.uk. You can contact us about your personal data at hello@heatpumpsleicester.uk.

What We Collect

Information you give us

When you submit a form or contact us we collect what you choose to share, usually: your name, phone number, email address, postcode, the type of heating you have, the service you are interested in, and anything you write in the message box. We also record the date, time and page on which you gave your consent, and the version of the consent wording you agreed to.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting provider records basic technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and to keep the site running. We do not currently set analytics, advertising or call-tracking cookies. If we introduce them, we will ask for your consent through a cookie banner before they are set.

Automated and AI-Assisted Contact

Where you have consented, we or our partner installers may use automated dialling systems, AI voice assistants or AI-generated messages to follow up your enquiry. Any such call or message will identify who it is from, and you can ask to speak to a person, or ask for contact to stop, at any point. We do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you by automated means.

Who We Share Your Information With

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone other than the categories above.

International Transfers

Formspree and some other service providers store data in the United States. Where data leaves the UK we rely on the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, so that your data receives protection equivalent to UK law.

How Long We Keep Your Information

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; have it corrected; have it erased; restrict or object to how we use it; receive a copy in a portable format; and withdraw consent. You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing, which we will act on straight away.

To exercise any right, email hello@heatpumpsleicester.uk or use the Stop Contact page, which works without an email address. We respond within one month. We may need to confirm your identity first.

How to Stop Contact

We will remove you from our contact list and tell any partner installer we have shared your details with to do the same. Registering with the Telephone Preference Service also stops unsolicited live marketing calls from any UK business.

Security

We limit who can see enquiry records, use reputable providers and send data over encrypted connections. No system is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive financial or health information through the form.

Children

This site is for adults arranging work on their home. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, telephone 0303 123 1113, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
