Who we are

This website is run by SMG Events Ltd, trading as Leeds Light Hire, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 10840142. Our registered office is Unit 10 Croydon Street, Leeds, England, LS11 9RT. We're responsible for the personal data described here. Contact us at bookings@leedslighthire.co.uk.

What we collect and why

Enquiries and bookings. When you check a date or book through our online booking form, we collect your name, contact details, event date, venue and the lights you choose. We use them to reply to you, quote, take your booking, and deliver, set up and collect your lights. The legal basis is taking steps towards, and performing, a contract with you.

Offers by email. If you sign up for offers on this website, we use your email address to send them. You can unsubscribe at any time from any email we send.

Emails. If you email us, we keep the conversation so we can answer you and refer back to it for your booking.

Photos at events. We sometimes photograph our lights once they're set up. Tell us before your event if you'd rather we didn't.

Cookies on this website

We use Google Analytics and the Google Ads tag to understand how people find the site, which adverts work, and whether visitors go on to enquire. They only set cookies if you choose Accept in the cookie banner. If you choose Reject, or make no choice, Google receives no cookies from us.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your data. We use trusted providers to run the business: website and booking-system hosting, email, and Google for analytics and advertising measurement (only with your consent). They process data on our behalf and under our instructions. We'll also share information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and booking details for as long as we need them to handle your enquiry or booking, and then for as long as the law requires for tax and accounting records. Enquiries that don't become bookings are deleted when they're no longer needed.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent for cookies at any time. Email bookings@leedslighthire.co.uk. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
