Project brief builder

Details typed into the project brief builder stay in your browser. They are only copied to your device clipboard when you choose Copy project brief; the website does not upload or store them.

Information and purposes

Technical access and security logs may include IP address, requested page, browser information and time of request. Harvtec uses these records to operate, secure and diagnose the website. Information you send by telephone, Messenger or another route is used to understand the enquiry, respond, prepare requested work and maintain appropriate business records.

Lawful bases

Website security and diagnostic records are handled for Harvtec's legitimate interests in operating a safe and reliable service. Enquiry information is handled to take steps at your request before a contract, to perform an agreed contract, to meet legal obligations, or for legitimate business interests where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Sharing and external services

Information is shared only where needed with hosting and technology providers acting on Harvtec's instructions, professional advisers, or public authorities where legally required. If you choose Facebook, LinkedIn or another external service, that provider also handles information under its own privacy terms.

Retention

Technical logs and enquiry records are kept only for as long as reasonably needed for security, diagnosis, responding to the enquiry, delivering agreed work, meeting legal or insurance requirements, and resolving disputes. Records are then deleted or securely retained under the applicable business-record requirement.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to its use. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the basis used. Contact Harvtec using the details above to exercise a right.

Complaints and transfers

You may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk if a privacy concern is not resolved. Harvtec does not intentionally transfer website-builder data because it remains in your browser; external communication providers may process information outside the UK under their own safeguards and terms.
