4. LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING
Under UK data protection law, I need a lawful basis to use your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, I may rely on:
Contract
Where the information is necessary to provide services you have requested or to take steps before entering into a contract.
Legitimate interests
Where it is reasonably necessary for running AdvanceSeven, responding to business enquiries, maintaining client relationships, improving services or protecting the business, provided your rights do not override those interests.
Legal obligation
Where I need to retain or use information to comply with tax, accounting or other legal requirements.
Consent
Where you have specifically agreed to a particular use of your information. Where consent is relied upon, you can withdraw it at any time.
5. WHERE YOUR INFORMATION COMES FROM
Most personal information is provided directly by you when you:
• Submit an enquiry through the website
• Email or telephone AdvanceSeven
• Arrange a meeting
• Become a client
• Provide information or assets required for a project
I may also receive business contact information from publicly available sources, business websites, professional networking platforms or referrals where appropriate.
6. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION
I do not sell your personal information.
Your information may be shared with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the business or provide services. These may include:
• Website and hosting providers
• Email and cloud-storage providers
• Scheduling or social media management platforms
• Accounting or payment providers
• Professional advisers
• Contractors or service providers involved in delivering agreed client work
These providers only receive the information reasonably necessary for their role.
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, I will rely on appropriate safeguards required by UK data protection law.
7. HOW LONG I KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary.
As a general guide:
• Website enquiries that do not become clients may be retained for up to 24 months
• Client correspondence and project information may be kept for up to 6 years after the business relationship ends where this is necessary for record keeping, contractual or legal purposes
• Financial and accounting records may be retained for the period required by UK law
Information may be deleted earlier where there is no longer a legitimate or legal reason to retain it.
8. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
AdvanceSeven will not add you to marketing email lists simply because you have submitted an enquiry.
If I introduce email marketing in the future, I will only send communications where there is an appropriate lawful basis and will provide a clear way to unsubscribe.
9. COOKIES AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS
The AdvanceSeven website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Others may be used for analytics or to understand how visitors interact with the website.
Where cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be used where appropriate consent has been obtained.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the website cookie settings where available.
10. KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.
However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
