Who we are

The Hanging Basket Specialist provides commercial hanging basket installation and maintenance for pubs, hotels, businesses and town councils across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. You can contact us at info@thehangingbasketspecialists.co.uk. We are responsible for the personal details you share with us through this website.

What we collect

When you use our enquiry or quote forms, we collect the details you choose to give us so we can respond to your request. This typically includes:
  • Your name and the name of your organisation or business
  • Your email address and, if you provide it, a phone number
  • The type of organisation (for example pub, hotel, council)
  • Details about your site — location, number of baskets, and what you’d like to achieve
  • For quote requests: property information, the services you’re interested in, and a preferred callback time
We only ask for what we need to reply to you and prepare a quote. You don’t have to fill in every field, and providing details is always your choice.

Why we use it

We use your details to understand what you need, reply to your enquiry, arrange a free site visit if you’d like one, and prepare a quote. This is based on our legitimate interest in responding to your request and running our business — we don’t rely on consent, so you don’t have to agree to anything to get in touch. We never use your details for advertising or sell them to anyone.

Who sees it

Your details are seen by us — the people who run The Hanging Basket Specialist — so we can respond to your enquiry. They’re also handled by the email provider that delivers your message to our inbox and sends your automatic confirmation and reply emails. We don’t share your details with any other third parties, and there are no advertising or analytics companies involved.

How we keep it

Your enquiry is stored securely in our admin system and in our email inbox, both of which are protected by sign-in and only accessible to us. Your details are sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection when you submit a form.

How long we keep it

We keep your enquiry details for as long as needed to respond to you and complete any work you book with us, and then for a reasonable period afterwards (typically up to 12 months) in case you have a follow-up question. If you ask us to delete your details earlier, we’ll do so as soon as we reasonably can.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use cookies or any tracking technology for visitors. We don’t run analytics, advertising tags, or remarketing pixels, and there is nothing stored in your browser when you visit or submit a form. Because of that, you won’t see a cookie banner and there’s nothing to accept or reject.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
  • Ask what personal details we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct anything that’s wrong
  • Ask us to delete your details
  • Object to how we use your details
  • Receive a copy of the details you gave us
To use any of these rights, just email us at info@thehangingbasketspecialists.co.uk and we’ll respond, usually within a week. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your details, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Contact

If you have any questions about this notice or your details, email info@thehangingbasketspecialists.co.uk or write to us at the address on our website.
