Who we are
This site is run by Federation Builders. For any privacy question, email ai@federationbuilders.com.
What we collect
- Enquiries: your name, email, company, phone number if you give it, and your message.
- DCRFI accounts: your sign-in details, and the project information and files your team adds.
- Basic server logs, used to keep the service secure and working.
How we use it
We use this information to reply to enquiries, provide DCRFI, keep our services secure, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.
AI features
Where optional AI features are switched on in DCRFI, the relevant project content is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to produce a draft or analysis. A person reviews the result before it is used.
Contractor shortlists and listings
The job planner suggests local contractors for each trade. These come from businesses that asked to be listed, from public web pages, and from OpenStreetMap (map data © OpenStreetMap contributors). When a business asks to be listed through our advertise form, we keep the details it gives us, check them, and show the business name, trades, area, contact details and accreditations on shortlists once approved. A business can ask us at any time to correct or remove its details, including details we found publicly.
How long we keep it
We keep information only for as long as we need it for these purposes, or as the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal information, or object to how we use it. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
