Legal basis for processing
We rely on your consent, which you give when you register. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
Who processes your information
We use trusted service providers to run Small Firms Channel:
- our website hosting and database provider, which stores registrations in the EU (Ireland)
- email service providers that we use to send briefings and updates
These providers act on our instructions and may only use your information to provide their services to us.
International transfers
Your registration is stored in the EU. If an email service provider we use processes information outside the UK or EU, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK-approved contract terms or an adequacy decision.
How long we keep information
We keep your information for as long as you remain registered. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your information, we will remove it within 30 days, unless we need to keep a minimal record so that we do not contact you again.
