Installation Photographs & Remote Access

Installation Photographs

During the delivery of our services, we may take photographs of installed equipment, cabling, or completed works for documentation, quality assurance, fault diagnosis, training, and warranty purposes.

These photographs are processed under our legitimate interests in operating and supporting our business, in accordance with UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f). Where photographs may incidentally include personal data, reasonable steps are taken to minimise visibility and protect such data. Images are retained only for as long as necessary.

Remote access is never enabled without the customer’s knowledge and can be withdrawn at any time.

Further details relating to installation activities and technical access are set out in our Terms & Conditions.
