Who We Share Personal Data With

We do not sell personal data. We may share it with trusted suppliers and professional advisers where needed to run our business, deliver services, host this website, process enquiries, manage email, provide IT support, handle accounting, or comply with the law.

We may also share relevant project information with subcontractors or delivery partners who help us provide services to you. Where suppliers process personal data for us, we expect them to protect it and only use it for the agreed purpose.

Some suppliers may process personal data outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

How Long We Keep Personal Data

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, reporting and dispute-handling requirements.

  • Enquiries are usually kept for up to 24 months after our last contact, unless they become client records.
  • Client, contract and accounting records are usually kept for up to seven years after the end of the relationship.
  • Project files, access details and support records are reviewed and deleted or returned when they are no longer needed.
  • Marketing records are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to stop contacting you.
  • Website security logs are kept for a limited period unless needed to investigate misuse, fraud or security incidents.

How We Protect Personal Data

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including access controls, secure systems, supplier due diligence and internal handling procedures. No website, email or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please take care when sending confidential information.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to ask us for access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction, portability, or to object to certain uses of your data. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. We would appreciate the chance to deal with your concern first, so please contact us using the details below.

Marketing Communications

We may contact business contacts about services that are relevant to their organisation. We will follow UK data protection law and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations when sending electronic marketing. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe option in our messages or by contacting us.
