For people who contact us through our website
We use the personal data you have provided to us to respond to your queries when you contact us.
Our legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in the administration and operation of
our firm. If you become a client, your personal data will become part of your file with us. If you do
not become a client, we will delete your personal data 3 months after your last contact with us.
For people whose information we received from one of our clients
If you are an employee, contractor, customer, supplier, or family member of one of our clients, we
might receive and process your personal data as part of our engagement with that client. That
personal data may include your name, contact information, financial information such as salary or
payments, and other information held by our client. We will only process your data in order to
provide our accounting, tax, audit or other services to our client. Our legal basis for this processing is
our legitimate interest in fulfilling our professional and contractual obligations to our clients. We
retain this data for a period of 7 years because we believe we have a legal responsibility to retain it
for this period.

may share your personal data with advisors who are subject to rules of confidentiality. We may also
be obliged to provide access to your personal data to regulators, including our professional body.
If we received your personal data from one of our clients, then we also share your personal data
