Our Legal Basis for Process

Under UK GDPR, we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, to respond to enquiries and provide bookkeeping services to our clients. Where you have contacted us directly, we process your data on the basis of contract (or steps taken prior to entering a contract).

We only keep your information for as long as necessary. If you enquire but we don't work together, we will not retain your details beyond the initial exchange. If you become a client, we will retain your data in line with HMRC requirements (generally six years).

Our website is hosted by GoDaddy. As our hosting provider, GoDaddy may process certain technical data (such as IP addresses) as part of operating our website. You can view GoDaddy's privacy policy at godaddy.com/legal/agreements/privacy-policy.

Our website includes a link to our LinkedIn profile. If you click through to LinkedIn, their own privacy policy will apply. We do not receive any data from LinkedIn about visitors who click this link.

If you contact us via WhatsApp, your message will be processed by Meta (WhatsApp's parent company) in accordance with their privacy policy. We use WhatsApp solely to communicate with you directly.
