Privacy policy

Privacy policy for Builder Compare This policy applies to buildercompare.co.uk, a comparison site for builders, house extension specialists and loft conversion companies, put together to help homeowners shortlist tradespeople and read what previous customers thought of them. It explains what happens to your data when you browse the site and how to reach us: [email protected].

No forms, but some automatic data You won't be asked to hand over any personal details just to search the directory, and there is no registration process. That said, your browser automatically shares certain technical information with our servers on every visit - your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested - and this is kept in standard server logs, mainly so we can keep the site running smoothly and investigate any faults.

Advertising and cookies Cookies may be placed on this site to help us analyse how it's used and to show adverts. Some of the advertisers we work with, including Google, use cookies to display interest-based ads tailored to your browsing activity. You can control or switch off this kind of advertising through myadcenter.google.com, and your browser settings let you block or remove cookies at any time.

Source of our builder listings The builders, extension specialists and loft conversion firms featured here, along with their star ratings and reviews, are sourced from publicly available Google Maps entries, which we refresh periodically. Any listed company can ask us, by email, to correct its details or remove its listing entirely, and we will action such requests without unnecessary delay.

Rights you have over your data The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 give you rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection in relation to your personal data. These can all be exercised by writing to the email address above. If you think we've got something wrong and haven't put it right, you're also entitled to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection, at ico.org.uk.

Other websites This site contains links to the websites of listed builders and to Google Maps. We aren't responsible for how those third parties handle your data once you leave our site, so it's worth checking their own policies.
