Your data

What We Collect & Why

What we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Enquiry and contact details, such as your name, email address, phone number and the content of any message you send us
  • Messages taken on our behalf by our call-answering provider
  • Client records, where we provide services to you
  • Server logs generated automatically by normal website operation

Why we use it, and our lawful basis

We use enquiry and contact details, and call messages, to respond to you and, where relevant, to take steps you request before entering into a contract with us. Where you become a client, we use client records to perform that contract. In both cases our lawful basis is contract, or steps taken at your request prior to entering into one.

We also rely on legitimate interests — for example, to operate and secure our business, respond to general enquiries, and keep server logs so the website functions reliably and safely.

Where we hold accounting or legal records, our lawful basis is legal obligation, since these are required of us by law.

Sharing

Who We Share Data With

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run Ralfort, acting on our instructions, which may include:

  • Hitrost, our hosting and email provider
  • VoIP and call-answering services, to handle and route calls and messages
  • Xero, our accounting software
  • IT and security providers, to help keep our systems and data safe
  • Professional advisers, such as our accountant or solicitor, where necessary
Retention

How Long We Keep Data

  • Unsuccessful enquiries: retained for 6 months after the last meaningful contact, then deleted
  • Copies held by our call-answering provider: retained for approximately 30 days
  • Accounting and legal records: retained for as long as required by law
  • Client records: retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice, or as required by law
Protecting your data

Security, Transfers & Cookies

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including restricting access to those who need it and choosing service providers who take security seriously.

International transfers

Some of our service providers may store or process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards required under UK data protection law, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

Cookies & tracking

This website does not use cookies, analytics, tracking pixels or any similar technology, and we do not track your browsing activity. Because of this, no cookie banner is needed.
