How we will use information about you

As a Data Controller:

We need all the categories of personal data detailed above to allow us to conduct our business operation.  Some of the grounds for processing will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal information.

If you are a client or business contact, then we will need to process your data in line with our legal obligations. In some cases, we may use your personal information to pursue legitimate interests of our own or those of third parties, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. 

The situations in which we will process your personal information are listed below.

* Business management and planning, including accounting and auditing. In these instances, we will share your personal data with our accountants and associated reporting platforms.

* Dealing with legal disputes involving you, or any disputes that may arise under the contract that we have with you or the way in which we provide our products and services to you.

  • We will retain details of enquirers for a period of 2 years, after which time it will be deleted. If you ask us to remove your data from this, we will do so immediately.
  • If you are an active client of the business, we will retain your details on file for a period of 7 years after the termination of our working relationship.
