3. How and Why We Use Your Data
We collect your information for the sole purpose of matching you with qualified renewable energy installers who can provide you with quotes.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), our lawful basis for collecting your data and sharing it with third parties is your explicit consent. You grant this consent when you tick the confirmation box on our form.

- Your right to withdraw consent: You can remove your consent at any time. If you withdraw consent, we will stop passing your details to any further installers.
- Your right of access: You can ask us for copies of your personal data.
- Your right to erasure: You can ask us to change or delete your personal data.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
