The lawful basis for processing your data.

To collect and use your personal data, we must have a lawful basis to do so. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides six lawful reasons to process your data, and these are found in Article 6 of the GDPR. Some data is considered special category, such as health and religion and we do not ordinarily process any special category data for our own purposes. If for some exceptional reason we needed to, then we would use an exemption found in Article 9 of the GDPR.

Providing advice and consultancy support in relation to payroll and human resources related topics.

We use the information we hold about you and your business, both personal and otherwise, to give you the best advice and service we can. For example, we will hold your contact details to our records and use it to send contracts, bill you, and keep track of payments that you make, as well as to keep in contact throughout our relationship. 

(Basis: Art. 6.1.b – performance of a contract): this is necessary to deliver the service to you. 

Sending news and email direct marketing to prospective and existing clients 

If we have met at a networking event, have asked for support on internet forums, or contacted us via our website, and we feel that you could be a suitable client, we will use your personal data to establish if we should follow up and contact you to explore business opportunities. 

(Basis Art 6.1.f) We have a Legitimate Interest to perform basic due diligence on prospective clients.

To conduct email marketing, we will do so based on obtaining your consent. You are free to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us.

(Basis: Art. 6.1.a – consent)

We may use your data to make live marketing telephone calls unless you have asked us not to do so.

Third parties 

We will not normally transfer, your personal data to third parties without your permission but there are some exceptions to this: 

• It is possible, though unlikely, that we might be forced to disclose your information in response to a court order or other binding mandate, or to a law enforcement agency. Lawful basis Art 6.1.c Legal Obligation 
• If you do not pay your bills, we may choose to engage a third party to recover any money you owe us. We have never done this, but we want to keep this option open to us. Lawful basis Art 6.1.f We have a legitimate interest to pursue money owed to us. 

Data processed by third parties on our behalf.

• We may instruct and utilise the services of international payment providers and local payroll contractors when providing services.

Your data, the EEA, and the Rest of the world.

The transfer of personal data outside of the EEA is subject to some conditions as not every other country has the same level of protection of your data. Some countries have been awarded an adequacy decision by the EU which means the transfer of data is unrestricted as they afford adequate protection. Any transfer of personal data outside of these conditions means additional safeguards need to be in place. Where this is the case, we will ensure the approved and most appropriate measures are put in place.

• Data about prospective clients we will keep for 2 years from last meaningful contact unless you have asked us to suppress your details. If you have requested suppression, we will keep the bare minimum so that we can be sure not to re-add you to any mailing lists.
