Privacy policy
Last updated: May 2026
Who we are
Devon Green Trades (devongreentrades.co.uk) is a local directory of green-trade businesses in Devon. For any privacy question, contact us at hello@devongreentrades.co.uk.
What we collect
- Business information you submit when adding or claiming a listing (name, address, contact details, certifications).
- Publicly available business data from the MCS installer register and similar public sources.
- Contact details you provide when you email us or subscribe to the newsletter.
- Basic, anonymised analytics about how the site is used.
How we use it
We use business data to operate the directory, to contact business owners about their listing, and to send relevant updates if they have opted in. We do not sell personal data.
Lawful basis
We process business listing data under legitimate interest (operating a public trade directory) and, for newsletters and marketing, under consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to object to processing. To remove or amend a business listing, email hello@devongreentrades.co.uk and we will action it promptly.
Payments
Paid listings are processed by Stripe. We never store your card details; these are handled securely by Stripe under their own privacy terms.
Newsletter
Our newsletter uses double opt-in. When you sign up we send a confirmation email, and you are only added to the list once you click the link inside it. If you never confirm, your details are deleted automatically after 7 days. Every newsletter includes a one-click unsubscribe.
Cookies and analytics
We use only the essential cookies needed to run the site. We also use Google Analytics to understand, in anonymised and aggregate form, what Devon homeowners search for - but this is off by default. It loads only after you choose Accept on our cookie banner. Choose Decline and no analytics cookies are ever set. We use no advertising trackers.
Your choice is stored in your browser (localStorage) for 12 months, after which we ask again. To change your mind sooner, clear this site's data in your browser and the banner will reappear.
