Privacy policy

1. Introduction

When you get in touch through this website or via one of our adverts, we only use your details to respond to your enquiry and provide the service you have asked about. We do not sell your data, we do not send marketing emails, and we only keep information for as long as it is genuinely needed.

Mr Hot Dog (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal data you share when using www.misterhotdog.co.uk (the “website”). This policy explains how we collect, use and store your information in line with UK GDPR.

We occasionally run lead generation adverts on Meta platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

When you submit one of these forms, we typically collect only:
