What this company keeps

This website collects nothing

These pages set no cookies and carry no analytics, no tag manager, no pixel, no advertising script, no chat widget, no embedded map and no social button. Nothing on this site profiles a visitor, and there is no banner asking for consent because there is nothing to consent to.

One external request is made: the two typefaces used here are served by Google Fonts, which means the browser asks fonts.googleapis.com for a stylesheet and fonts.gstatic.com for the font files. Those requests reach Google rather than this company, and they carry the ordinary technical information any web request carries. A visitor who would rather not make them can switch off remote fonts in the browser; the pages are designed to read correctly in a plain monospace substitute.

The pages themselves are static files held by the hosting provider. That provider keeps ordinary server access information for its own security and operational reasons; this company does not receive it, aggregate it, or ask for a report on it.

Email, and what an enquiry leaves behind

The only way to contact this company from these pages is to write to projects@mykin.digital. An email contains whatever its sender chose to put in it: a name, an address for the work, a telephone number, perhaps a drawing or a photograph of a wall. That message is held in the company mailbox and is used to answer the enquiry and, if the work goes ahead, to carry it out.

The lawful basis is the performance of a contract, or steps taken before entering one, and for the paperwork a job generates it is the company's legal obligation. An enquiry that does not turn into work is deleted within twelve months.

What a job leaves behind

An installation generates paperwork that has to survive the job, because the next person working on that installation needs it and because the company may have to show what was done.

Measured results and certification

The figures taken during testing and the certification issued with them, held with the site address. Kept for six years after the work, which is the ordinary limitation period for a contract, and longer where the installation is still being worked on.

Photographs of concealed runs

Pictures of cable routes taken before plasterboard, held against the site address so a later drill does not go into a cable. Kept for the life of the installation unless the client asks for them to be handed over and deleted.

Correspondence

Emails and messages about the work, kept alongside the job for the same six years.

Invoicing and accounts

Names, addresses and amounts, kept for the period tax law requires.

Nothing here is sold, rented, used for marketing or passed to anyone for their own purposes. Material is shared only where a job needs it — a building control body for notifiable work, the client's own contractor or engineer where the client has asked for that — or where the law requires it. The mailbox and the office software are run by service providers acting on this company's instructions.

Your rights, and how to use them

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act you can ask what is held about you and for a copy of it, ask for a correction, ask for deletion where nothing requires it to be kept, object to a particular use, or ask for the data to be handed to you in a portable form. Write to projects@mykin.digital and say which of those you want; a reply is given within the month the law allows, and there is no charge for a first request.

Where something is kept because a law or a safety obligation requires it, a deletion request will be refused in that respect, and the reason will be given in writing rather than left vague. If the answer is unsatisfactory, the Information Commissioner's Office is the supervisory authority for the United Kingdom and takes complaints directly.
