At annual intervals we check that your Data held is correct or at any interval depicted by the agreed date(s) and/or frequency of the reporting on such research services or capabilities that Data will be used and processed as contractually agreed. It may be used as lawfully defined for tax/auditing as required by UK MoD, HMRC, Companies House and other governement departments.

Like any other business we have administration, payroll, employees and from time to time CVs sent to us, our policy is to hold such securely and limit access. Speculative CVs will be deleted after six months and will not be held on-file unless the individual resend such every six months.

Archiving of client files is done after the anniversary of the previous year, so we can return these to the client so they may securely store such records, files and Data for their business, company or personally as is lawfully required. We secure backups of Data in both fire-safes and other secure means. As a policy (and aside from how this may be delivered to us), we do not process or put Data into any cloud based archive, service or application.
