Welcome to eco4nations.co.uk
At ECO4 Nations, we value the privacy and security of our customers’ information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and disclose your personal data in compliance with the ECO4 scheme, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

ECO4 Nations uses the information we collect for the following purposes:

3. Data Retention
We retain personal data for a maximum of six (6) years from the date of collection, as required by regulatory guidelines and our commitments under the ECO4 scheme.
However, if your property does not qualify for the grant or we are unable to carry out the installation due to unforeseen circumstances, all collected data—including your contact details—will be securely deleted, and no information will be retained or shared with any third party.
4. Installation Disclaimer
While we make every effort to assist customers through the grant process, ECO4 Nations is not liable to install energy-efficiency measures after the property survey in the following cases:
-
If your property does not meet eligibility criteria after generating the Energy Performance Report (EPR).
-
If you fail to provide the necessary paperwork or supporting documents required to proceed.
-
If there is a change in policy or grant criteria by the governing authority or funding body, which affects your eligibility.
-
If installation is not feasible due to weather conditions or property limitations beyond our control.
We understand these situations can be disappointing; however, they are determined by external factors outside our influence.
