How we use your details

Plain English. Last updated 8 October 2026.

Who we are

This website is run by Local Enquiry (also trading as Local Leads). We are responsible for the personal information described here. Contact us through our contact page, which has our WhatsApp link. You can ask us at any time for the name of the person responsible and we will tell you.

What we collect and why

Local Enquiry is for tradespeople. If you message us on WhatsApp or use the sign-up form on a trade page, we collect the details you give us: your name, business name, phone number, email address, the areas and work you cover, certifications and insurance information, and how you want to be notified. We use them to set you up and to send you leads. We do not run advertising trackers.

WhatsApp messages are also handled by WhatsApp, under its own privacy terms.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, by contacting us through the contact page. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Website statistics

We count visits to this site, for statistics only, using our own counting tool. It sets no cookies and does not store your IP address. For each page view it records the page, the site you came from, any campaign label in the link you used, your country (approximate) and whether the visitor looks like a person or a robot. To count unique visitors it uses an identifier. We do not share this data with anyone except our hosting provider, which stores it on our behalf. We respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. If you click 'Don't count my visits' in the footer, we remember your choice in this browser with one small local-storage flag called na_ignore; our counter stores nothing else in your browser. You can object at any time using the link in the footer, or contact us through our contact page. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving our site.
