Privacy Notice

The data controller is LandBank, a trading name used by a sole trader. Our service address, and our registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office where required, are being finalised and will be published here before this notice is relied upon at scale.

For any question about this notice or about your personal data, email us at sam@landbank.energy, use the enquiry form on this website, or reply to any email you have received from us.

• Data you submit through the enquiry form on this website: your name, farm or company name, email address, telephone number, county, nearest postcode where given, approximate acreage available, and anything else you choose to tell us.
• Business, land and contact data obtained from publicly available sources, including Companies House and HM Land Registry, together with publicly published business directories and websites. This is typically a name, business address, land or title information and a business contact detail.
• Records of our correspondence with you, so we know what has been discussed and what you have asked us to do, together with basic technical information about how you reached this website.

• Legitimate interests for business contact research and business-to-business outreach: identifying land that may suit large-scale solar, identifying the person able to discuss it, and contacting landowners and farm businesses about a potential opportunity. We rely on this only where it is lawful to do so, and only where we consider it proportionate: the contact is business-related, limited in scope, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
• Consent where consent is required, including electronic marketing to individuals and sole traders. Where the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations require consent for electronic marketing, we do not rely on legitimate interests to override that requirement.
• Legal obligation where we are required to keep records or respond to a lawful request.

Submitting the enquiry form is how you start a conversation with us; we do not treat it as blanket consent to unrelated marketing.

We use the data to assess whether land may be suitable for a large-scale grid-export solar project. Sharing happens only at the point where there is genuine interest from you and the site still appears worth progressing: we then pass the relevant details to the downstream project company and the parties it needs to involve, so that the site can be considered properly. We share only what is needed for that purpose.

We also use service providers who host this website and store enquiry data on our behalf. They act on our instructions under contract. We do not sell personal data.

You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time, and no explanation is needed. Replying to any email from us with the word “stop” is enough. We keep a suppression record of that request, which means retaining the minimum information needed to make sure you are not contacted again.

We keep enquiry data for as long as needed to consider the opportunity and to maintain a record of what was discussed. Where a site is not suitable, or where you ask us to stop contacting you, we retain only the minimum needed to honour that request and to avoid contacting you again.

You have the right to:

• ask for access to the personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• ask us to erase data where there is no longer a reason for us to hold it;
• object to our processing where we rely on legitimate interests, including objecting to direct outreach;
• ask us to restrict processing, and to request portability of data you gave us;
• withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at sam@landbank.energy, reply to any email from us, or use the enquiry form on this website. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please tell us first so we can try to put it right — email us at sam@landbank.energy. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF, by telephone on 0303 123 1113, or at ico.org.uk.

We may update this notice from time to time. The version published on this page is the current one.
