How will we use the information?

Our use of such personal data is subject to data protection law.

We mainly use your personal data to provide you with information or services you have requested. We may also use it for any other purpose for which you give your consent. For example we may send you additional information about us or our services, if you have consented to us doing so.

We may also use it for other normal purposes connected with our work. For example we will use your information to update our own business records, complete statutory returns, and otherwise comply with our regulatory obligations.

Will we share information about you with anyone?

We take your privacy seriously. We will never sell your personal data to anyone, and we take precautions to keep it secure.

  • We may be obliged to pass on information to the tax authorities in some circumstances.
  • We may need to pass on information to those who help collect outstanding accounts.

In addition our business may be audited or checked by third parties such as those providing professional services to us or with whom we are entering into business relationships. It is sometimes inevitable that such third parties will see some information about you. Such third parties are required to maintain confidentiality in relation to your information.
