Privacy notice
The Monday List sends local trade firms details of building projects taken from councils' public planning registers. This page explains what information we use, who receives it, and how to have a property left out.
Who we are
The Monday List is run by Will Lawrie, a sole trader, who is responsible for the information described here.

What we do
Each week we read the lists of planning applications that local councils publish. We pick out building projects that may need a particular trade, such as a new kitchen or new windows, and send a short list to one subscribing firm per trade in each area. Each firm can then write once to the property about the work.
The information we use
About properties with a planning application:
- the property address;
- what is planned, in our own words;
- the council's reference number, and a link to the council's page;
- the application's stage (new, approved, refused or withdrawn) and its date.
We do not collect or pass on the applicant's name, phone number or email address.
About architects and designers named on an application: their business name and the contact details published on their own website.
Where it comes from
- Property and project details come from the public planning registers of the councils in the areas we cover. At present these are Worcester City Council, Wychavon District Council, Malvern Hills District Council, and Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Councils.
- Designers' details come from each designer's own website.
Why we use it, and our legal basis
We use this information so that local firms can offer their services to people who are planning building work. Our legal basis is legitimate interests. We have weighed our interest, and the firms' interest, against yours. We think it is fair because:
- the information is already public;
- we use no names;
- each firm writes once at most;
- you can stop it at any time.
You can ask us for a copy of that assessment.
Who receives it
At most one subscribing firm per trade in your area. Each firm agrees to:
- write to you once at most;
- stop if you ask;
- not pass your details to anyone else.
We do not sell or share the information with anyone else.
We use standard software and cloud services to prepare and send the lists. Some of these providers may store or process data outside the UK. Where they do, they are bound by contract to protect it.
How long we keep it
We keep a project's details for 24 months after its last stage, so that we never send the same project twice, and then delete them. If you ask us to stop, we keep your address on a "do not send" list for as long as we run the service, so that it is never included again.
Your rights
- To object. You can tell us to stop using your address for this purpose at any time, and we will. This right is absolute.
- To access. You can ask what we hold about you.
- To correction and deletion. You can ask us to correct or delete it.
- To restriction. You can ask us to limit how we use it.
To use any of these rights, contact us using the details above. We will reply within one month.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have used your information, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, or phone 0303 123 1113.
