It is Driftwood Communications’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. Accordingly, we have developed this privacy policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose and otherwise make use of personal information. We have outlined our privacy policy below.
- We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
- Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.
- We will collect and use personal information solely for fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other ancillary purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.
- Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
- We will protect personal information by using reasonable security safeguard against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
- We will make readily available to customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.
- We will only retain personal information for as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes.
Information submitted through this website
We use contact details and messages to respond to enquiries. We use subcontractor application details and uploaded documents to assess prospective subcontractors and arrange follow-up. Our website uses Vercel for hosting, Supabase for secure data and document storage, Microsoft 365 for notifications, and Cloudflare Turnstile to help prevent automated abuse. Authorized staff receive the information needed to handle your enquiry or application.
How long we keep website submissions
Saved, unfinished applications expire after 30 days. Abandoned uploads become eligible for removal after 24 hours. Closed contact enquiries are normally removed from the website database 12 months after closure. Declined subcontractor applications and their uploaded documents are normally removed 24 months after the decision. Accepted applications are retained until the necessary records have been transferred to our company records system, then the website copies are normally removed 24 months after transfer.
Active or unreviewed matters, unresolved notification failures, and records subject to a retention hold are kept until they have been reviewed and are eligible for removal. Deletions run on a daily schedule. Information needed for ongoing business, a dispute, or a legal obligation may be retained longer. Email copies, downloaded documents, backups, and records transferred to our company systems are managed separately from website cleanup.
Website analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand visits to our public website and how well its pages perform. We do not send contact or subcontractor application answers as analytics events. More information is available in Cloudflare’s description of Web Analytics.
