What we collect when you enquire, why we hold it, how long we keep it — including your car’s photographs.
Build note: boilerplate shaped to this business and grounded in UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and ICO guidance. It is not legal advice — have it checked before publication.
Foundry Wrap Co. Ltd is the data controller. Registered in England and Wales, company number 11284630, at Unit 3, Attercliffe Works, Effingham Road, Sheffield, S9 3QS. For anything about your data, email studio@foundrywrap.co.uk or ring 0114 496 0257.
Only what we need to quote for your vehicle and carry out the work.
We do not ask for card numbers by email and we do not want them. Payment is taken in person or through a link that goes directly to the provider.
| What for | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Replying to your enquiry and quoting | Steps taken at your request before a contract |
| Carrying out the work and contacting you about it | Performance of our contract with you |
| Job photographs kept as a record of vehicle condition | Our legitimate interests |
| Film references kept so a panel can be matched later | Our legitimate interests |
| Invoices, VAT and accounts | Compliance with a legal obligation |
| Using your car’s photographs in our portfolio | Your consent, withdrawable at any time |
| Marketing messages | Your consent, withdrawable at any time |
That second-to-last row matters more here than on most sites. A wrapped car is distinctive and often recognisable, so we ask before anything goes in the gallery or on social media, and we stop using it if you change your mind.
| Record | Kept for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiries that never became a job | 12 months | People come back a season later |
| Job records, film references and photographs | 6 years | The limitation period for contract claims under the Limitation Act 1980, and so a damaged panel can be matched years later |
| Invoices and accounting records | 6 years | HMRC requires tax and VAT records for six years |
| Portfolio photographs | Until you withdraw consent | Consent, withdrawn when you say so |
| Marketing list | Until you unsubscribe | Consent, withdrawn when you say so |
Under UK GDPR you can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, delete it where we have no legal reason to keep it, restrict what we do with it, send it to another provider, or stop marketing at any time. Email us and we will respond within one month at no charge.
One honest limit: where a record is kept because HMRC or the Limitation Act requires it, we cannot delete it early even if you ask. Portfolio photographs are different — those come down whenever you want.
Tell us first — it is usually something we can fix the same day. If you are not satisfied you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
