OBTAINING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data and should you choose not to provide your data this may have a considerable impact on the contract, payment of goods & services. Communication will be reduced and possible delays or prevention of payments.

SHARING YOUR DATA

Your data is only shared between directors, members of the project team and the finance department where necessary. Your data may be shared with third parties and consultants as part of the project contract and to enable us to undertake our professional duties under the contract.

AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING, INCLUDING PROFILING

Our organisation does not use any form of automated decision making or profiling.

TRANSFER OF DATA ABROAD

In no circumstances is your personal data transferred outside of the EEA unless specifically requested by the individual or if the client or main supplier is based outside the EEA then project team contact details may be shared with them for communication purposes only.

We keep your personal data for no longer than reasonably necessary but may be for a period of 12 or 7 years beyond the end of the contract with you. Examples include; in case of any legal claims/complaints, accounting etc, for example for accounting purposes we must keep records for 6 years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to. For contracts under seal details need to be kept for 12 years for legal purposes.
