Welcome to Skillman.uk
 
We operate the website www.skillman.uk (the “Site”). We are a local handyman service based in the UK. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
 
1. The Data We Collect
Because our website is designed to be simple, we only collect personal data that you actively and voluntarily provide to us when you contact us for a quote or service. This information may include:
    • Your name
    • Contact details (email address and phone number)
    • Your property or service address (where the handyman work is required)
    • Details about the repair or project you need help with

2. How and Why We Use Your Personal Data
Under the UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your data. We use your information purely to run our local business and serve you. This falls under the lawful basis of Performance of a Contract (to provide you with a quote or carry out work) and Legitimate Interests (to respond to your enquiries).
Specifically, we use it to:
    • Respond to your requests for quotes, messages, or questions.
    • Schedule and carry out your handyman services.
    • Send invoices and process payments for completed work.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website does not use cookies. We do not deploy tracking pixels, analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics), or behavioural advertising tracking tools on this Site. You can browse our website completely free of tracking.
 
4. Server Log Files (IONOS Hosting)
Our website is hosted by IONOS. When you visit our website, the server automatically collects basic, non-identifying technical data required to securely display the website. This log data may include your IP address, browser type, and the date/time of your visit. IONOS processes this data to maintain server security and stability, which is a legitimate business interest.
 
5. Sharing Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We will only share your information:
    • If required by UK law, regulation, or a legal process (such as HMRC tax auditing).
    • To protect the safety, property, or rights of our business and clients.

6. Data Retention & Security
We take reasonable security measures to keep your personal data safe from unauthorised access. We only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or HMRC reporting requirements.
 
7. Your Legal Rights
Under UK data protection laws, you have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:
 
    • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
    • Correction: Request that we correct any inaccurate information.
    • Erasure: Request that we delete your personal data (where we no longer have a legal reason to keep it).

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
