Privacy policy

Last updated 3 October 2026

How we handle information when you visit our website or enquire about a hut.

Who is responsible for your information

Proper Huts is responsible for the personal information described in this notice. For a privacy question, a request about your information or a complaint, use the enquiry form on our home page and mark your message “Privacy”.

​

Information we collect

When you enquire, we collect your name, email address and the information you choose to include about your project. If a project progresses, we may also need your telephone number, site or delivery address, drawings, specifications and correspondence. Please only provide information relevant to your enquiry.

Wix, our website provider, may also process technical information such as your IP address, browser, device and website activity to operate and protect the website.

​

How and why we use it

We use project information to respond to enquiries, prepare proposals and carry out an agreed design or build. Where you ask us to take steps towards a purchase, or we deliver an agreed service, our lawful basis is taking steps before entering a contract or performing that contract.
For general correspondence and website security, we rely on legitimate interests in responding to requests and running a secure business. Where records must be kept to meet tax, accounting or other legal requirements, our lawful basis is legal obligation.
Providing enquiry information is voluntary, but we need a way to contact you and enough project detail to respond. Submitting an enquiry does not sign you up to marketing emails.

​

Who receives your information

Our website and its enquiry form are provided by Wix, which processes visitor and form information on our behalf. Information may also be handled by the communication and business service providers needed to manage your enquiry or project. Where necessary for an agreed build, relevant details may be shared with suppliers or contractors. We may disclose information where required by law.
Wix operates internationally, so information may be processed outside the UK. Wix describes its transfer protections, including adequacy decisions and approved contractual safeguards, in its privacy information. You can contact us to request further information about the safeguards relevant to your data.

​

How long we keep it

We keep information for as long as it is needed for the enquiry or project, any relevant warranty or dispute and applicable record keeping obligations. The period depends on the type of record, whether a project proceeds and any legal requirement. Information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed.

​

Cookies and website technology

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Wix uses cookies and similar technology for website functions such as security and session management. Other cookies may support analytics or additional website features, depending on the services enabled.
You can manage or remove cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the website works. Where a cookie preference control is available, use it to review or change optional cookie choices.

​

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access to your information, correction, deletion, restriction of use or transfer of information to another provider. If we rely on consent for a particular use, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful use.
Your right to object: you can object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can also object to direct marketing at any time.
To make a request, contact us through the home page enquiry form. We may need to confirm your identity before responding.

​

Questions or complaints

Please contact us if you have a concern about how your information is handled. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
We may update this notice as our services or practices change. The date above shows when it was last revised.
