2. Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Technical data — basic information such as browser type and pages visited, collected only where necessary to operate and secure the website.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data for the following purposes and legal bases:

  • Delivering services — to perform VAT registration, returns, advisory and related services under our engagement (legal basis: performance of a contract).
  • Legal and regulatory obligations — to meet anti-money laundering, professional and HMRC requirements (legal basis: compliance with legal obligations).

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this policy and to meet legal, accounting and reporting requirements.
