Privacy Notice

Last updated: 23 July 2026

How Bullet Services Ltd collects and uses personal data, and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

1. Who we are

Bullet Services Ltd, 78 York Street, London W1H 1DP, United Kingdom. Company number 12474323. We are the data controller for the personal data described here. Privacy contact: office@bulletservices.co.uk.

2. Who this notice covers

  • Website visitors — people browsing bulletservices.co.uk.
  • Leaseholders / occupants — people accepting or declining recommended window repairs.
  • Our workforce — employees, operatives and subcontractors who use the Bullet Services app.
  • Client / managing-agent contacts — people we deal with to deliver projects.

3. What we collect, why, and our lawful basis

Website visitors. Anonymous analytics events (a random visitor ID in the _bullet_vid cookie, pages viewed, referring site, browser type) and, if you use the contact form, your name, email and message. Lawful basis: legitimate interests — running and improving our website and responding to enquiries. You can opt out of analytics at any time (see Cookies).

Leaseholders (WRS). Your name, email, your accept/decline decision, the date you accepted, and the IP address you submitted from (which we keep as evidence of your acceptance). On acceptance, your name, email and the property address are shared with our invoicing provider to raise your invoice. Lawful basis: performance of / steps prior to a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) for invoicing and tax records. We keep the IP address as proof of acceptance on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Workforce (app users). Name, email, phone, profile photo, day/hourly rate, bank details (for payment), Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) status, work photos you upload, timesheets, and your location at the moment you check in or out of a site. We also store a push-notification token for your device. Lawful basis: performance of your contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) for payroll, tax and CIS records; legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) for operational management and verifying, via location, that check-ins happen at the correct site. We use location only at check-in/out, in the foreground, to confirm you are within range of the building — we do not track movement between those moments.

Client / agent contacts. Business contact details and project correspondence. Lawful basis: legitimate interests and contract.

We do not intentionally collect special-category data and we do not make solely-automated decisions producing legal effects. Our services are not directed at children under 18.

4. Cookies

We use one first-party analytics cookie, _bullet_vid, to count visits and understand how our site is used. It stores a random identifier (not your name), lasts up to 12 months, and its data is used only by us — never sold or shared for advertising. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (as amended in 2026), analytics cookies of this kind do not require your consent, but you have a free right to opt out. If you opt out, we store a small preference cookie (_bullet_optout) so we remember your choice. Essential cookies (your session and security tokens) are always required for the site to work.

5. Who we share personal data with

We use trusted providers who process data on our behalf under contract:

  • FreshBooks — invoicing and, where enabled, card payment (on FreshBooks' own hosted page).
  • A cloud storage provider — secure file and photo storage (EU region).
  • An email-delivery provider — sending transactional emails.
  • A push-notification provider — sending app notifications to your device.
  • Mapping and record-keeping tools — address look-up and internal expense records.
  • An error-monitoring provider — reliability and security of the service (EU region).

We can tell you the specific provider behind any of these categories on request.

Payments. Invoices are issued via FreshBooks. Where you pay by card, payment is processed on FreshBooks' secure hosted page by its payment partners (which may include Stripe). We never receive or store your card details.

We may also disclose data where required by law, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

6. International transfers

Our file storage and error-monitoring data are held in the EU/EEA, which the UK recognises as adequate. Some providers process personal data outside the UK — including FreshBooks (Canada) for invoicing, and our mapping, email and push-notification providers (which may process in the United States). These transfers are covered by UK adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards (the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, or the UK–US data bridge).

7. How long we keep it

  • Active accounts — while you use the service. On deletion, an account is deactivated immediately and permanently deleted after 30 days.
  • Project records and photos you contributed to are kept in anonymised form for our business records.
  • Invoices and financial records — about 6 years (HMRC/tax obligations).
  • WRS acceptance records — about 6 years (limitation period for contract claims).
  • Website analytics — up to 26 months.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Where we rely on legitimate interests you can object at any time. To exercise any right, email office@bulletservices.co.uk; we respond within one month. These rights are free to exercise.

9. Complaints

Please contact us first at office@bulletservices.co.uk — we acknowledge and respond within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113).
