- Quote request forms: When a visitor requests a quote through a business's preview site, we collect name, phone number, email address, and job details. This information is passed to the relevant business owner.
- Analytics: We may use basic analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how our sites are used. This may involve collecting anonymised IP addresses, browser type, and page visit data.
- Business directory data: We may collect publicly available business information (name, address, phone number, Google reviews) from public sources such as Google Maps to create preview websites. No sensitive personal data is collected in this process.
