4. Our lawful bases
We rely on performance of a contract where we are providing services to you, legal obligation where the law requires us to hold or report information, legitimate interests for running and administering our practice, and consent for optional analytics cookies and for any marketing you have opted into. Where we rely on consent you can withdraw it at any time.
5. How long we keep it
We keep client records for at least six years after the end of our engagement, which reflects HMRC requirements and our professional obligations. Enquiry data that does not lead to a client relationship is held for up to twelve months and then deleted.
6. Who we share it with
We do not sell your data and we do not share it for marketing purposes. We may share it with HMRC and Companies House where we are filing on your behalf or where disclosure is legally required, with our software and IT providers who process data on our behalf under contract, and with our insurers or professional advisers where necessary. Some of our software providers may process data outside the UK, in which case appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations apply.
7. Your rights
You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, to ask for data to be deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to ask for data portability. Some of these rights are limited where we are legally required to keep records. To exercise any of them, contact us at admin@blueband.tax.
8. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please tell us first so we have the chance to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
