Privacy and cookies

Last updated: 25 October 2026

This notice explains how UK Business Buddy uses the details you give us through this website, and the cookies the website uses.

Who we are

UK Business Buddy, founded by Nic Rutherford and based in Hertfordshire, is responsible for your details. You can contact us at hello@ukbusinessbuddy.com or on 07872 308274.

What we collect

When you fill in our form we collect your name, email address, phone number, profession and, if you give it, the best time to call you.

Why we use it

We use your details only to contact you about the Utility Warehouse Connector Programme, answer your questions and, if you decide to go ahead, help set you up. Our lawful basis is your request to be contacted and our legitimate interest in responding to it.

Who we share it with

• Formspree, which delivers the form to our email inbox.
• Our customer records system (HubSpot), where we keep a record of our conversations.
• Utility Warehouse, only if you decide to become a Connector, so that you can be registered.

We never sell your details or share them for anyone else's marketing.

How long we keep it

If you don't go ahead, we delete your details within 12 months of our last contact. If you become a Connector, we keep them for as long as we work together and as the law requires after that.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the details we hold about you, or ask us to stop contacting you, by emailing hello@ukbusinessbuddy.com. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your details, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookies

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. It uses:

• a small setting stored in your browser to remember that you've closed the cookie notice;
• performance monitoring added by our web host (GoDaddy) to keep the site running quickly.

If we add analytics in future, we'll ask for your consent first and update this notice.

Referring your clients

If you become a Connector and introduce clients to us, please only share the details of clients who have agreed to hear from us. We use their details only to talk to them about their household bills.
