What we collect

When you use the enquiry form, email or phone us, we collect the details you give us. This is usually your name, company name, email address, phone number and anything you tell us about your business and what you need.

We do not ask for sensitive information through this website. Please don’t send us financial records or identity documents through the enquiry form.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and arrange a Let’s Talk conversation.
• To prepare a proposal and engagement letter if you decide to work with us.
• To keep a record of our correspondence with you.

We do not sell your information.

Newsletters and updates

We send newsletters and occasional emails about tax, accounting and business matters we think will interest you. We send them to clients and to people who have asked to hear from us. If you are not a client, we only add you if you ask us to.

Every email has an unsubscribe link, or you can email [email protected] at any time to stop them. Unsubscribing does not affect any work we do for you.

Our lawful basis

We use your information on the basis of our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries about our services, and, where you go on to become a client, because it is needed to take steps towards a contract with you and to meet our legal obligations.

We send newsletters to people who are not clients only with their consent. We send them to clients on the basis of our legitimate interests in keeping clients informed about matters relevant to their business, and clients can opt out at any time.

Our client portal

Clients can use our secure client portal to exchange documents with us, see what information we need, check key deadlines and send us messages. If you use it, we process:

• your name and email address, which you use to sign in with Microsoft;
• the documents you send us and the documents we share with you;
• messages between you and our team, and records of what we have asked you for;
• key dates for your business, such as filing and payment deadlines, and email notifications about new documents, messages and upcoming deadlines.

Your folder can only be seen by you, anyone you have asked us to give access to, and our team. Portal information is stored in our Microsoft 365 account (SharePoint). We use it to provide the services in your engagement letter, which is our contract with you, and to meet our legal and professional obligations. We keep it for as long as our engagement and those obligations require. You can ask us to turn off deadline reminder emails at any time.

Who we share it with

We share your information only with service providers who help us run the firm, and only as far as needed. These include:

• Microsoft, which provides our email, our website enquiry form (Microsoft Forms) and our client portal (Microsoft 365, including SharePoint). Enquiries and portal information are stored in our Microsoft 365 account.
• Unlimited Web Hosting, which hosts this website.
• Cloudflare, which delivers this website and protects it from attacks. It processes technical information such as your IP address when you visit.

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on the safeguards required by UK data protection law, such as the UK’s adequacy regulations or approved contract terms.

How long we keep it

If you don’t become a client, we keep enquiry details for 2 years from our last contact and then delete them. If you do become a client, we keep your information for as long as our engagement and our legal and professional obligations require.

Cookies

This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies. Our enquiry form is provided by Microsoft Forms, which may set cookies needed for the form to work. Our client portal uses Microsoft sign-in, which sets cookies needed to sign you in, and stores small amounts of information in your browser to keep you signed in and to show which documents are new since your last visit. These are strictly necessary and are not used for tracking. If we add any service that sets non-essential cookies, we will update this notice and ask for your consent.

Your rights

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it, delete it, or stop or restrict how we use it. You can also object to us using it based on our legitimate interests. You can withdraw your consent to newsletters at any time. To use any of these rights, email [email protected] for the attention of Stephen Thompson. We will reply within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.

We may update this notice from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
