Data is held in our email, document and hosting services, which are provided by third parties acting on our instructions. We may also share data where the law requires it or with professional advisers under a duty of confidence. Where a provider processes data outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations.

5. How long we keep it

Enquiry correspondence is kept for up to two years after our last contact. Engagement records are kept for seven years after the engagement ends to meet accounting and legal requirements, then deleted.
