Who we are

This website is run by R E Thompson Ltd, a family run electrical contractor based at Unit 1 Apex Court, Sowerby, Thirsk, YO7 3TQ. You can contact us by phone on 01845 574001 or by email at info@rethompsonelectrical.co.uk.

What personal data we collect

This website does not collect or store personal information directly. There is no contact form — when you click an email link your own email programme opens and you choose what to send us, and when you call us we only hold the details you give us over the phone.

How we use your data

If you email or call us, we use the information you provide only to respond to your enquiry, to prepare a quotation and to manage any work you ask us to carry out. We do not sell your details, and we do not use them for marketing unless you explicitly agree to it.

Cookies

When you first visit the site we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. Nothing beyond the strictly necessary cookies is set until you choose to allow it. We group cookies into four categories:

  • Strictly necessary — required for the site to work, including the single cookie that remembers your cookie choice. These cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics & performance — anonymous information about which pages are visited. We do not currently run any analytics cookies on this site.
  • Marketing & advertising — used to measure or target advertising. We do not currently use any advertising cookies.
  • Functional / personalisation — remembers preferences so parts of the site can be tailored to you.

Your choice is stored for 12 months. You can change it at any time using , or by clearing the cookies in your browser.

Your rights

You have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to how we use it. Contact us using the details above and we will respond as quickly as we can. If you are unhappy with our response you can raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
