Who does this policy apply to?
This policy applies to our customers and clients (including but not limited to Stakeholders, Clients, and Contractors)

Sharing information
We may give out your personal data if required to so for Police Investigation or Court Order.

We may give your personal data to a 3rd party as part of a sale of the business and assets to the 3rd party. However, steps will be taken to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected and the data is used in accordance our Privacy Notice.

In an emergency, we may be required to give your contact details out to our client to contact you. However, we will always try and contact you beforehand.

As part of our process for collecting clients’ funds, where there has been no contact made by you to advise why there has been no payment or to set up a payment plan, we may pass your details on to a Debt Collecting Agency. We would like to assure you that the agency we use has undergone checks to ensure they are GDPR compliant and will not share your details further.

When required to do so we enlist the expertise of external solicitors for legal advice. Your data may be passed on to them to give them a better understanding of certain legal situations.

There may be instances where we share data with the Shareholders and directors of the company. We will query the use of the data to ensure the reason is a ‘legitimate interest’ before giving this to them and ensure they have adequate protection in place to store your data.

Other than the points listed above we will not disclose your personal information without your permission. We do not sell your information to third parties and your personal data is treated with the utmost care.
