• Your phone number (if provided)
• Your business name (if provided)
• The service you are interested in and the details of your enquiry

How we use it

We use the information you provide solely to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to provide the accountancy services you ask about. We do not sell your data or use it for unrelated marketing.

Lawful basis

We process contact-form data on the basis of your consent (which you give by submitting the form) and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries about our services. Where we go on to provide services to you, processing is necessary for the performance of our engagement with you.

Your enquiry is delivered to us by our form provider and reaches our email inbox. We use reputable service providers to host the website and deliver form submissions, who act on our instructions. We do not otherwise share your data, except where required by law or our professional and regulatory obligations.
