Data retention

We will hold your data for a maximum period of 36 months after the date at which we last had contact. At the end of that retention period, your data will be deleted completely.

Explaining the legal basis we rely on

The law on data protection sets out six ways which a company may collect and process your personal data. Having analysed our customer database and business model we have assessed that Legitimate Interest is the primary basis. This is because by your interactions with our company and website we believe you may be interested in our services.

What we do with the information we gather

We use this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

* Internal record keeping
* We may use the information to improve our products and services
* We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.

Sharing of personal data

We only share personal data with team members and suppliers who provide relevant supportive services to our business. We do not sell or rent your information to third parties. Team members are required to comply with current data protection legislation. Their use is defined as data processors.

Rights over your personal data

The GDPR provides the following rights for individuals:

The right to be informed
The right of access
The right to rectification
The right to erasure
The right to restrict processing
The right to data portability
The right to object

Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling

Where any subject access request is made there is a requirement to prove identity before any information is divulged. This may involve physical presence with accompanying ID. Where a request to “Be forgotten” is made, this can only be complied with if there are no other legal frameworks that overrule GDPR (e.g. HMRC, FCA, etc.).

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
