KCGD will NOT share your data with any other companies apart from where you have given explicit permission for us to do so for a specific purpose. This will be for us to e.g. arrange landscapers or other companies to submit quotes and tenders and not for marketing purposes.

Once this time period has expired, we will delete your data by erasing it from the master spreadsheet. The exception to this is if you have re-commissioned KCGD for further work within that time.
