We use your data in order for us to provide the services you have requested. We use your data for analytics purposes, for example to gauge which pages of the website you view. We never give out your data to third parties other than when necessary for the running of our services (eg. if the website host needs to access the website to fix an issue).

Who Has Access To Your Information?
There is very limited access to your information. There are only two staff members, who are security aware. Other access is from essential third parties/sub-contractors who have access to limited information. They only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. For example, our accountants (Bronsens) can access our accounting software which contains invoices, names, addresses, emails and phone numbers. Our website hosts (Greengeeks) are GDPR compliant. Google’s support teams are often given access to your Google Analytics and Adwords accounts in order for them to help optimise the accounts. We are very security conscious and do not give out any details for third party marketing purposes.
Data Security and Protection
Our website is SSL secure (https). We ensure the security of any personal information we hold by using secure data storage technologies & precise procedures in how we store, access & manage that information. This includes strong password protection, encryption software & up to date anti-virus protection.
Should we ever be made aware of a data breach, we will inform all affected clients.
If you have login details to accounts such as domain, hosting or website login, email accounts, Google Analytics or Adwords, it is your responsibility to make sure all login details are held securely and not passed on. Passwords should be strong, secure and hard to guess. They should be changed regularly for additional security. If someone guesses your password and logs into your admin console or email accounts without your permission, then it is your responsibility to inform the relevant authority.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Since we often need to refer to past emails, we often keep correspondence emails indefinitely. However, in order to be GDPR compliant we are striving to delete unnecessary correspondence, including data from contracts that have ended. Please contact us should you wish us to delete/confirm deletion of correspondence.
We keep technical data regarding website usage indefinitely, to help us grow and analyse our website and business performance over the years.
