    This privacy policy explains how we collect, use and store personal information when you contact us, request a quote, make a booking, use our website, or interact with us through Facebook, Instagram, email or other contact methods.

    Email: llanelliguitartech@gmail.com
    Social media: @llanelliguitartech

    For the purposes of data protection law, Llanelli Guitar Tech is the controller of the personal information we collect and use.


    What information we collect

    We may collect the following information:

    • Your name 
    • Email address 
    • Phone number, if provided 
    • Social media username, if you contact us through Facebook or Instagram 
    • Photos or videos of your guitar or bass 
    • Details about your instrument and the work requested 
    • Booking and appointment details 
    • Quotes, invoices and payment records 
    • Messages or enquiries you send to us 
    • Website usage information, if analytics or cookies are used 

    We only collect information that is relevant to providing our services, responding to enquiries, managing bookings, preparing quotes, carrying out work and keeping business records.


    How we use your information

    We use your personal information to:

    • Respond to enquiries 
    • Discuss work needed on your instrument 
    • Prepare quotes 
    • Arrange pickup, drop-off or appointments 
    • Carry out setup, repair, cleaning or upgrade work 
    • Contact you about your booking or completed work 
    • Send invoices or payment information

    We will not sell your personal information.

     

    Lawful basis for using your information

    Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using your personal information. For a small business, common lawful bases include contract, legitimate interests, consent and legal obligation. The ICO advises businesses to decide and explain the lawful basis for each use of personal data. 

    We may use your information because:

    • It is necessary to provide a quote, booking or service you have requested 
    • We have a legitimate interest in running and managing our business 
    • We need to keep records for legal, tax or accounting reasons 
    • You have given consent, for example if you agree to receive marketing updates 

    Photos and social media content

    From time to time, Llanelli Guitar Tech may take photos or videos of instruments being worked on. These may include before-and-after examples, repair progress, setup work, cleaning results, fault finding, or final play tests.

    We may use these images or videos for social media, website content, marketing, educational posts, or examples of our work.

    Where possible, we will avoid including personal information that identifies the customer. We will not publish the customer’s name, contact details, address, or other identifying information without permission.

    If you do not want your instrument to appear in photos, videos, social media posts or marketing content, please let us know when booking.

    Some posts may include light-hearted, humorous or satirical comments about the condition of an instrument, such as dirty fretboards, rusty strings, unusual repairs, wiring issues, or general wear and tear. These comments are intended for entertainment and educational purposes only, and are not intended to embarrass, criticise or identify the owner.

    We will not knowingly publish content that identifies a customer in a negative or personal way. If you see a post featuring your instrument and would like it removed, please contact us at llanelliguitartech@gmail.com and we will review the request.


    Sharing your information

    We may share limited information with trusted service providers where necessary, such as:

    • Email providers 
    • Website hosting providers 
    • Booking or form services 
    • Accounting or invoicing software 
    • Payment providers 
    • Social media platforms, if you contact us through them 

    We only share information where needed to operate the business, provide services, process payments or meet legal obligations.


    How long we keep your information

    We keep personal information only for as long as necessary.

    Enquiry and booking messages may be kept while we are discussing or carrying out work. Invoice and payment records may be kept for accounting and tax purposes. Customer service records may be kept where needed to deal with future questions, warranty-style queries or repeat bookings.

    When information is no longer needed, we will delete it or securely dispose of it.


    How we protect your information

    We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including limiting access to customer messages, using password-protected accounts, keeping business records secure, and avoiding unnecessary collection of personal data.


     

    Your rights

    Under UK data protection law, you have rights over your personal information. These may include the right to:

    • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you 
    • Ask us to correct inaccurate information 
    • Ask us to delete information where appropriate 
    • Object to certain uses of your information 
    • Ask us to restrict how we use your information 
    • Withdraw consent where we rely on consent 

    The ICO says privacy notices should explain these rights and tell people how they can complain if they are concerned about how their information is used. 

    To make a request, contact:

    llanelliguitartech@gmail.com


    Marketing

    We will only send marketing messages where we are allowed to do so. You can ask us to stop sending marketing messages at any time by contacting us.


    Cookies and website analytics

    Our website may use cookies or analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the website.

    If we use analytics, booking forms, embedded social media content or advertising tools, these services may collect limited technical information such as your device type, browser, pages visited and general location.

    A separate cookie notice may be added to the website if required.


    Third-party links

    Our website may include links to Facebook, Instagram, payment providers, booking tools or other third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. You should check their privacy policies separately.


    Complaints

    If you have concerns about how we handle your personal information, please contact us first at:

    llanelliguitartech@gmail.com

    You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. The ICO provides guidance and tools for sole traders, start-ups and small businesses, including a privacy notice generator and GDPR checklist. 


    Changes to this policy

    We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this website.
