What Information we hold, and what we do with it
Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the Data Controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession.

We collect and process personal data to enable us to provide products and services to our customers, maintain our own accounts and records and to advertise and promote our services.

We will only hold your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it. We will retain your information for any period required by law, such as for compliance with HMRC requirements. Where we are not under legal obligation to retain your information, we will determine what is necessary based on the lawful basis for processing and our legitimate interests.

At the end of the retention period, your personal data will be securely destroyed or anonymised so that associated information can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

You have the right to request that your personal data be erased. If you request that data be erased that is essential to enabling us to provide you with a product and/or service, we will not then be able to provide you with that product and/or service. If we are unable to comply with your request for specific legal reasons, we will notify you of these.

Our Lawful Basis for Processing your Personal Data
Our Lawful basis for holding and processing your information is legitimate interest: i.e. our requirement to have basic contact details in order to contact you concerning the services / products we are providing to you, and to inform you of any relevant information relating to those services.
