Privacy Policy

NextWatt is committed to protecting your personal information as we assist businesses in embracing renewable energy innovations. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices for collecting, using, and securing your data, fully aligned with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Types of Data Collected
We gather information such as your full name, contact details, and company specifics when you reach out to us via our website or direct communication channels. This data is essential for tailoring our renewable energy consulting services to your operational requirements. Additionally, we may automatically record technical details, like your browser type or IP address, to enhance our digital offerings. Our collection process is designed to be straightforward and compliant with UK legal standards.

2. Purpose of Data Use
We leverage your information to craft strategic energy solutions, reply to your queries, and keep you informed about advancements in sustainable energy practices. This helps us align our recommendations with your goals for efficiency and environmental responsibility. Your data also supports our efforts to refine our website and consultancy tools for better user engagement. All usage is based on either your explicit consent or our legitimate interest in advancing renewable energy adoption.

3. Security Protocols
Your data is housed on fortified servers within the UK, protected by state-of-the-art encryption and access restrictions. We employ rigorous measures, such as regular security scans and staff training, to safeguard against unauthorized access or data breaches. Information is retained only as long as necessary to deliver our services or meet regulatory obligations. Our commitment to security ensures your trust in our handling of sensitive details.

4. Third-Party Collaboration
We may share your data with select partners, such as renewable technology providers, to execute the consulting solutions you’ve engaged us for. These collaborators are contractually obligated to uphold UK GDPR standards and protect your information. We do not share your details for promotional purposes unless you explicitly agree. Any collaboration is strictly limited to enhancing your experience with NextWatt.

5. Your Legal Rights
Under UK GDPR, you can request access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data at any point. You’re also entitled to obtain a copy of your stored information or object to its processing if you suspect misuse. Simply submit your request, and we’ll address it within the mandated 30-day timeframe. These rights ensure you retain authority over your data throughout our partnership.

6. Data Retention Guidelines
We keep your information for the duration required to fulfill our consulting commitments, generally up to 6 years after our engagement concludes, per UK law. Post-retention, data is either permanently deleted or anonymized to eliminate identification risks. You can request earlier removal unless legal requirements, such as tax compliance, dictate otherwise. This approach balances operational needs with your privacy preferences.

7. Global Data Handling
If your project necessitates transferring data outside the UK, we utilize UK GDPR-approved safeguards like standard contractual clauses to maintain its security. We thoroughly evaluate all international partners to ensure they meet equivalent protection levels. You’ll be informed in advance if such transfers are required for your renewable energy strategy. This ensures consistent safeguarding of your information globally.

8. Policy Modifications
We may adjust this Privacy Policy to accommodate changes in our services or UK regulations, with updates posted online and marked by the effective date. Major alterations will be shared via email or a website alert to keep you in the loop. We encourage periodic reviews to stay informed about our data practices.
