Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use our website, why we collect it, and the rights you have over it.

Last updated: 25 June 2026

1. Who we are

This website is operated by DKRO Design & Construction (“DKRO”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a garden design, landscaping and construction business based in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. For the purposes of UK data protection law, DKRO is the “data controller” responsible for your personal data.

You can contact us about this policy or your personal data at:

  • Address: Hanney Rd, Abingdon, OX13 6AP, United Kingdom
  • Email: Info@dkro.co.uk
  • Phone: 07448 654754

2. The information we collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data.

Information you give us

When you complete our contact form, garden style quiz, price calculator, or message our chat assistant, you may provide:

  • Your name
  • Your phone number
  • Your email address (where provided)
  • Your postcode
  • Details of the services you are interested in, your project, timescales and any message you send us
  • The selections and estimate you generate using our price calculator
  • The content of any messages you send to our chat assistant

Information we collect automatically

When you visit the website, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

  • Your IP address and approximate location derived from it
  • Your browser type, device information and operating system
  • Pages you view, links you click, and how you interact with the site
  • Referral source (for example, whether you arrived via a search engine or an advert)
  • Cookies and similar identifiers (see section 5)

3. How we use your information and our lawful bases

Under UK GDPR we must have a lawful basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following:

What we doLawful basis
Respond to your enquiry, prepare a quotation and arrange a consultationSteps taken at your request prior to entering a contract; our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries
Provide and administer our services where you go on to engage usPerformance of a contract

Set analytics and advertising cookies, and share advertising data with Google and Meta (including via the Meta Conversions API)Our legitimate interests in measuring and improving our marketing
Keep records required by law (for example tax and accounting)Compliance with a legal obligation

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time (see sections 5 and 7). Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object (see section 7).

4. Who we share your information with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it in the following ways:

Service providers acting on our behalf

These providers process data for us under our instructions:

  • Resend — delivers enquiry notification emails to our team.
  • MongoDB — stores enquiry and lead records, and aggregate, non-identifying project view counts.
  • OpenAI — powers our website chat assistant. The messages you send, together with limited context about which pages you have viewed, are sent to OpenAI to generate replies; chat conversations (and any contact details you provide through chat) are stored. Please do not enter sensitive personal information into the chat.
  • Our website hosting provider — hosts the site and processes server logs.

Advertising and analytics partners

We use the following providers to measure and improve our advertising. They act as independent controllers for these purposes, under their own privacy policies:

  • Google — we use Google Tag Manager to manage our tags, and Google Ads (and, where configured, Google Analytics) to measure website usage and advertising. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Meta (Facebook & Instagram) — we use the Meta Conversions API to measure our advertising, through which we share certain hashed (pseudonymised) identifiers — such as your email, phone number, postcode and first name — together with your IP address and browser information, so that enquiries can be attributed to our adverts. A Meta Pixel may also run via our tag manager. See Meta's Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose data to professional advisers or authorities where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

5. Cookies and tracking technologies

Cookies are small files placed on your device. We use strictly necessary cookies to run the website, together with analytics and advertising cookies that help us understand how the site is used and measure our advertising.

These tags load through Google Tag Manager and may include Google Ads, Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel — they may set cookies such as _ga, _fbp and _fbc to measure website traffic and the performance of our advertising. You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.

You can also opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings and your Meta ad preferences. Declining these cookies will not stop you from using the website.

6. International transfers

Some of our service providers and partners (including Google, Meta and OpenAI) are based outside the UK, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations, the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

  • Be informed about how we use your data (this policy)
  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Ask us to erase your data in certain circumstances
  • Restrict or object to our processing in certain circumstances
  • Request portability of data you have provided to us
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent

To exercise any of these rights, email us at Info@dkro.co.uk. We will respond within one month. There is normally no charge.

8. How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above. In practice:

  • Enquiries that do not lead to a project (contact form, quiz, calculator and chat) — retained for up to 24 months, then deleted.
  • Customer and project records — retained for the duration of the project and for up to 6 years afterwards (the contract limitation period in England & Wales).
  • Accounting and tax records — retained for 6 years, as required by HMRC.
  • Website chat conversations — retained for a short period to provide and review the service.
  • Cookies — retained for each cookie's individual lifespan.

9. How we protect your data

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and restricted access to our systems. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take all reasonable steps to safeguard your information.

10. Children's privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Third-party links

Our website may link to third-party sites (for example, social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their own privacy policies.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.

13. Complaints

If you have a concern about how we handle your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. You also have the right to complain to the UK's supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
