KSD Design is a drawing and design services business. We must process personal data in the form of general contact information in order to provide these services and in doing so, we act as a data controller.

You may give your personal details to us directly, such as via email or over the telephone or via our website contact form. We must have a legal basis for processing your personal data. For the purposes of providing our design and drawing services and related activities, we will only use your personal data in accordance with the terms of the following statement:

This website uses cookies and log files to track user information. Cookies are small amounts of data that are transferred to your web browser by a web server and are stored on your computer’s hard drive. We use cookies to track which page variant a visitor has seen, to track if a visitor has clicked on a page variant, to monitor traffic patterns and to gauge popularity of service options. We will use this information to deliver relevant content and services to you. This also allows us to make sure that visitors see the website they expect to see if they return to the same web URL.
 

We believe that we have a legitimate interest in processing your data for the purposes of providing our services and related activities to you as our client. We believe that this helps us provide you with a more efficient and professional service and that it is in everybody’s interest for us to do so.
To ensure that we can provide you and your organisation with the best possible service we store details of the organisation and its contacts as well as notes of conversations, emails, meetings and previous projects. We believe that this falls within our legitimate interest in providing our design and drawing services to you.
 

We will collect data that will help us ensure that the relationship between our organisations runs as smoothly as possible. This will normally be restricted to name, business address, telephone number and email address of individual contacts.
 

We collect personal data from you in three ways:

To help us provide the best service to you, we receive data as follows:
You contact us by phone or email.
We contact you by phone or email, either during the normal course of business.

We may use your data for a number of purposes:

Our primary function is to provide you with design and drawing services and related activities. To enable us to provide these services we will process your data in the following ways:
Storing your data so we can contact you in relation to our activities
Recording notes of conversations and meetings.

Occasionally we may need to use your data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
 

We may share your data with a variety of other parties during the course of conducting our business, in a number of ways and for a number of reasons.
They are as follows:

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is safe and protected from misuse, loss or unauthorised access.
 

We always aim to build a good rapport with our clients and invariably undertake repeat business over many years so retaining your contact details for a reasonable time is in everyone’s interest but we will not retain your data longer than we need it. In certain cases we are required to hold your data to comply with tax, legal or regulatory issues. Subject to this, we will delete your data if we haven’t had any relevant contact from you for a eight year period.
For the purposes of this policy, relevant contact means:
