How we use your data

We use your personal data to respond to enquiries and provide our bookkeeping and analytics services; to fulfil our contractual obligations to you; to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations (including HMRC requirements); to send you service-related communications; and to improve our website and services. We will never sell your personal data to third parties.

Legal basis for processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (where we are providing services to you); compliance with a legal obligation (such as tax and accounting regulations); your consent (where you have provided it, for example by submitting our contact form); and our legitimate interests in running and improving our business, where these are not overridden by your rights.

Data sharing

We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in delivering our services, such as Xero (accounting software), Syft Analytics, and our cloud storage providers.
