The Data We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide through our web forms, including:

  • Identity Data: Your full name and occupancy status.
  • Contact Data: Email address, phone number, and full postal address.
  • Utility Data: Current energy supplier and estimated energy spend.

Section 03

How We Use Your Data

We do not provide energy supply services directly. We are a lead generation and brokering platform. By submitting your information, you understand and agree that:

  • The Process: We collect your data to identify suitable energy products. When you request "Expert Help" or a "Quote," we share your data as a lead with our authorised distribution partner, Linden Distribution Ltd, who may further introduce it to energy suppliers including Utility Warehouse and other third-party brokers.
  • Contact: These partners will contact you via Phone, Email, or SMS to provide a formal quote and assist with your switch.
  • Lawful Basis: We rely on Consent. You provide this by ticking the agreement box on our forms. You may withdraw this consent at any time.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at hello@switchunter.co.uk. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.


Section 04

Our Authorised Partners

Switch Hunter works exclusively with Linden Distribution Ltd as our authorised lead distribution partner. When you submit your details through our website, your information is passed to Linden Distribution Ltd, who will contact you or arrange for an energy specialist to contact you on their behalf.

Your data will be shared with Linden Distribution Ltd and, where relevant, with energy suppliers such as Utility Warehouse. You will not be added to any unrelated marketing lists. You can request removal at any time by contacting hello@switchunter.co.uk.


Section 05

Data Retention & Security

We store lead information for 12 months to track the status of energy switches and handle commission queries. We implement industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data.


Section 06

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at: hello@switchunter.co.uk
