Privacy & Cookies:

OSL Consulting Engineers Ltd is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information.

There are two ways in which we collect information from you when you visit our website, information you provide to us, and cookies on our website.

Information you provide:

We will collect any information you provide to us when you use our contact form. The provision of your personal information via our contact forms is not a statutory or contractual requirement; however, please note that contact fields will need to be complete because we need this information to comply with, or respond to your request. Other information or personal information you share with us when completing our contact form is in your sole discretion. If you contact us, we will keep a record of that correspondence.

  • to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset which we are (or are contemplating) selling; and

Your rights in connection with personal information

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact the Company Administrator in writing.
