This policy explains how The Electrical Safety Council collects, uses and stores information submitted through this website.
The Electrical Safety Council operates an independent electrical safety information, certificate filing and contractor verification platform.
We may collect information submitted through contact forms, contractor applications, contractor accounts, EICR filing forms and certificate search tools.
If you contact TESC through the website, we may collect your name, email address, role, postcode, message content and technical submission data such as time of submission.
Contractor registration may require company name, contact name, email address, telephone number, address, postcode areas served, scheme details, website address, password credentials and application status.
Where an EICR is filed through TESC, records may include certificate references, property address, postcode, inspection date, contractor details, end user ("client") details including contact details, report status, observations, supporting notes and uploaded PDF records.
Contractors may upload qualification, scheme or verification documents as part of the registration process. These are used to review contractor applications and maintain account records.
Information is used to respond to enquiries, manage contractor accounts, maintain EICR records, support certificate verification, operate the website and improve electrical safety compliance processes.
We retain information for as long as reasonably required for certificate verification, contractor account administration, compliance records, legal obligations or legitimate business purposes.
You may request access to personal information held about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion where legally appropriate.
