Last updated: October 2026

1. Who We Are

Heat Pump Installer Directory is operated by KRO PROJECTS LTD, a company registered in England and Wales.

For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, KRO PROJECTS LTD is the data controller.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect the following types of personal data:

Lead Form Submissions

We retain data from earlier homeowner lead-form submissions. The quote-request service is currently unavailable. When it was open, the form collected:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Postcode
  • Property details (such as property type and current heating system)

Newsletter Signups

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.

Analytics Data

We use Plausible Analytics and Google Analytics 4 to understand visits and use of the directory. Google Tag Manager loads the Google Analytics tag. These services can receive page URLs, referral, device and interaction information. Search URLs can contain a postcode or other terms entered by a visitor. Our custom interaction events do not include those values, but analytics page views may process the page URL.

Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies used on the site include:

  • Session cookies: Used for authentication when you sign into your account. These are essential for the site to function and expire when you close your browser or after a set period.
  • Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 uses first-party cookies, including _ga, to distinguish visitors and sessions when analytics storage is enabled. Plausible does not use cookies for its standard measurement.

Installer Data

Our directory contains information about MCS certified heat pump installers sourced from the publicly available MCS certified installer database. This includes business names, addresses, certification details, and other publicly available information.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

  • Consent: When you submit a lead form or sign up for our newsletter, you give us your consent to process your data for those specific purposes. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
