We may also collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, and website usage data to improve the performance and security of our website.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to respond to enquiries, deliver accountancy services, improve our website, and maintain internal records.

We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so, including responding to enquiries, fulfilling contractual services, or complying with legal obligations.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under Article 6 UK GDPR using the lawful bases that apply to each activity:

• Legitimate Interests: for operating and improving tax diagnostic and forecasting tools, maintaining website security, and responding to service-related enquiries where this is proportionate and does not override your rights.
• Consent: for marketing communications, updates, and non-essential follow-up contact. You can withdraw consent at any time using unsubscribe links or by contacting us directly.
• Contract and Legal Obligation: where processing is required to deliver agreed services or to comply with accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements.

Data Storage and Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse.

Personal data is only retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, including legal or regulatory requirements.

Sharing Information

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website or delivering our services, provided they maintain appropriate confidentiality and security standards.
