We need to know your basic personal data, such as company email, company telephone number and company address, in order to provide you with our services. We only process your professional data under legitimate interests inline with our GDPR Privacy Policy.
This allows us to provide you with support, updates, contracted services, and provide relevant information and analyse the services we offer clients. We will only collect personal data from you that we need in order to provide and oversee this service to you.

All the personal data we process is processed by our staff based in the UK. However, for the purposes of Accounting, IT hosting and maintenance this information could be located on servers within and outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
