David D - Joe's Lawn Care

Our grass was in a very poor state and we were about to have it re-turfed. Joes Lawn Care came along in March 2015 and for the fraction of the cost of re-turfing and in less than six months, they have transformed the grass area into a quality lawn.

Not only have they worked a miracle, but they are happy to spend the time discussing the problems to us in plain English, explaining what they are going to do and when they will be turning up to do it (and they do, on time).

A very professional, reliable service and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

3. What Is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, ‘the Data Protection Legislation’) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

The personal data that we use is set out in Part 5, below.

Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

1.1h) The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.

1.1i) Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 11.

It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep usinformed as long as we have that data.
