Privacy notice
Last updated: 12 October 2026
We develop solar projects that supply power directly to nearby businesses. This notice explains how Radius Solar Development Limited (“Radius Solar”, “we” or “us”) uses personal data about the people we deal with: people who contact us, landowners and occupiers, people at businesses that might use our power, and the agents, suppliers and advisers we work with.
In brief
- We use personal data to find land for our projects, find businesses that could use the power, answer enquiries and run our business.
- We get it from you, from people acting for you, and from public records such as HM Land Registry and Companies House.
- We never sell it, and we will stop contacting you whenever you ask.
Who we are
Radius Solar Development Limited is the controller of your personal data. We are registered in England and Wales, company number 17474608, and our registered office is Citygate, St James’ Boulevard, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 4JE. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), number ZC270540.
To contact us about your data, email privacy@radiussolar.co.uk or write to us at our registered office.
What we collect and why
If you contact us
When you contact us through our website, by email or by phone, we collect your name, contact details, the kind of enquiry (landowner, business or other) and anything else you tell us, such as where your land or site is. We use this to reply to you and, if you want to work with us, to discuss a project.
Lawful basis: our legitimate interest in answering enquiries and developing projects.
If you own or occupy land
To find land for our projects, we collect the names and addresses of landowners and occupiers, and details of their land and title. We get these from HM Land Registry, Companies House and other public records, from land data services, and from you or your agent. We use them to write to you about leasing land to us or granting rights over it, such as for a cable route, and, if you are interested, to agree and manage the arrangement. If we reach an agreement, we also collect what we need to pay you, such as bank details.
Lawful basis: our legitimate interest in finding land for renewable energy projects and, once we are discussing terms, making and performing a contract with you.
If you work for a business
We collect work contact details of people at businesses that might buy power from our projects. We get them from Companies House, published business rates data, company websites, LinkedIn and similar sources, or from you. We use them to contact you about supplying your business and, if it is interested, to agree and manage a supply.
Lawful basis: our legitimate interest in finding customers for our projects and working with them.
If you are an agent, supplier or adviser
We collect the contact details of land agents, solicitors, consultants, contractors and others we work with, usually from you or your organisation, and what we need to pay you. We use them to manage our work together, including contracts and payments.
Lawful basis: our contract with you, if you are a party to it, or otherwise our legitimate interest in running our business.
We also use personal data where the law requires it, for example to keep tax and company records. We write to landowners by post, and only email or phone people about our projects where the law allows. You do not have to give us your personal data, but without it we may not be able to reply to you or make an agreement with you.
Your right to object
You can object at any time to our use of your personal data based on our legitimate interests, including being contacted about our projects. Email privacy@radiussolar.co.uk or reply to any letter or message from us. We will always stop contacting you about our projects. We will stop other uses unless we have compelling reasons to continue, such as dealing with a legal claim.
Who we share it with
We share personal data only when we need to, with:
- IT and software providers, for example for email, file storage, website hosting, accounting, land data and AI tools
- our professional advisers, such as lawyers, land agents, surveyors and accountants
- other companies in our group, including companies set up to own a project
- others involved in a project, such as investors, funders, buyers, network operators and the local planning authority (planning applications list the owners and any agricultural tenants of the land, and are published)
- regulators, courts and other authorities, where the law requires it.
We never sell personal data.
Transfers outside the UK
Some of our providers handle data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, it is protected by UK adequacy regulations (such as the UK-US data bridge) or ICO-approved contract terms. Contact us if you would like details.
How long we keep it
We keep personal data only for as long as we need it:
| Personal data | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Enquiries, approaches and negotiations that do not lead to an agreement | 2 years after our last contact |
| Agreements, with the records and payments that go with them | The life of the agreement plus 12 years |
| Accounting and tax records | 6 years after the end of the financial year |
| Requests not to be contacted | As long as needed to respect them, keeping only enough to recognise you |

Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your personal data, and ask us to correct it, delete it, limit how we use it, or send it to you or another organisation in a reusable format.

We normally reply within one month, and there is usually no charge. We do not make decisions about people by automated means alone.
