I will collect passport data if needed and you have authorised me to support you with legal paperwork as part of my services. I process your data in order to best supply the services you have purchased and to keep records of such transactions. My lawful ground for this processing is the performance of a contract between you and me and/or taking steps at your request to enter into such a contract.

The source of this data is from our analytics tracking system. I process this data to analyse your use of my website and other online services, to administer and protect my business and website, to deliver relevant website content and advertisements to you and to understand the effectiveness of my advertising.

I may use Customer Data, User Data, Technical Data and Marketing Data to deliver relevant website content and advertisements to you (including Facebook adverts or other display advertisements) and to measure or understand the effectiveness of the advertising I serve you. My lawful ground for this processing is legitimate interest, which is to grow my business. I may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

Where I am required to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of our contract, and you do not provide that data when requested, I may not be able to perform the contract (for example, deliver services to you). If you don’t provide the requested data, I may have to cancel a product or service you have ordered, but will of course notify you at the time.

I will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes it was collected for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data for, I look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, and the processing purposes. For tax purposes the law requires me to keep basic information about my customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they stop being customers.

In some circumstances I may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes in which case I may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
