If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our cookie policy below.

​

​

​

​

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

​

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. 

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

​

​

​

  1. 5. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

​

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above:

​

  • External third parties such as service providers, professional advisers, HMRC and regulators; and

  • Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice. 

​

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

​

​

​

  1. 6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

​

To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), eg:

​

  • with our service providers located outside the EEA;

  • if you are based outside the EEA;

  • where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

​

These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law.

These non-EEA countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. We will, however, ensure the transfer complies with data protection law and all personal information will be secure. Our standard practice is to use standard data protection contract clauses that have been approved by the European Commission. Please contact us using the details above if you wish to obtain a copy of those clauses. 

​

If you would like further information please contact us using the contact details in clause 1 above.

​

​

​

  1. 7. DATA SECURITY

​

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

​

​

​

  1. 8. DATA RETENTION

​

How long will you use my personal data for?

​

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

If you use our products or services we shall retain your personal data for the time you are our client and for 3 years afterwards.  If you are not a client we shall retain your data for 2 years following your last engagement with us.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘Request erasure’ below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. 

​
