• maintain our business records and comply with our legal obligations.

Legal basis for processing

Under UK GDPR, we rely on our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and running our consultancy, on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, on performing our contract with you, and on compliance with our legal obligations.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only where necessary with carefully selected service providers who process data on our behalf, such as our hosting and database provider, our email provider, and, where you submit a CV, a service that helps us format and summarise it. These providers act on our instructions and are bound to keep your data secure. We may also disclose data where required by law.

Data storage and security

Your data is stored on secure, access-controlled infrastructure hosted within the European Union. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Where data is transferred outside the UK or EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes above and to meet our legal and professional obligations, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@evlpc.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
