Arkivon Group (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal data when you visit our website (arkivongroup.co.uk), contact us, or use our building and renovation services. It also explains your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact us using the details in Section 9.

1. Who We Are

  • Company name: Arkivon Group
  • Address: 136 High Rd, London NW10 2PJ, United Kingdom

  • ICO registration number: To be confirmed — most UK businesses processing personal data must register with the ICO (a small annual fee). Check your registration status, or register, at ico.org.uk.

We are the “data controller” for the personal data described in this policy, meaning we decide how and why your data is processed.


2. What Personal Data We Collect

5. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Remember your preferences
  • Understand how visitors use our site (e.g. via Google Analytics)
  • Measure the performance of advertising campaigns (e.g. via Google Ads, Meta Pixel, if used)

We may use cookies to analyse website traffic, understand how visitors use our site, and measure the performance of any advertising campaigns we run. This may include tools such as Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion tracking. We do not currently use cookies to sell or share your data with advertisers for their own purposes.

Before publishing, please confirm exactly which analytics/advertising tools are active on your site (check your Google Tag Manager, Elementor, or hosting dashboard) so this section names them precisely — accurate disclosure here is a legal requirement, not just good practice.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how our website functions. [If you use a cookie consent banner plugin, mention it here and link to its preference centre.]


6. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. As a general guide:

  • Enquiry/quote data: retained for up to 12 months if no project proceeds, then deleted or anonymised
  • Project and client data: retained for at least 6 years after project completion, in line with standard UK contractual, insurance and accounting record-keeping obligations
  • Marketing consent: until you withdraw consent

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”), in certain circumstances
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Data portability — receive your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 9. We will respond within one month, as required by law.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have not handled your data properly.


8. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
