We use automated analytics and tracking systems for email, document management and marketing activities so that we can protect and optimise our service and deliver relevant marketing.

We try and minimise the personal data held on you. Typically, this is restricted to:

Your personal contact details – email address, phone numbers, business related social media page e.g. LinkedIn, the source of your data and a legal reason for the holding of your information
Your company details – as above but also company address, website and other public held information including credit rating and invoicing details if relevant
Transmitted information – such as emails, texts, messaging, phone call information and recordings, voice mails, email, meeting notes and document tracking information

We make it policy not to connect any social media feeds or store any social media you may post to our systems, with the exception of private messages.
