We only collect what is necessary for the provision of our services or to comply with legal obligations.

3. How we collect your data

5. Sharing your information

We only share your personal data where necessary and with appropriate safeguards in place. This may include HM Revenue & Customs, software and IT providers such as Xero, cloud storage and payroll services, subcontractors working under confidentiality agreements, legal, compliance or insurance advisers, and regulators or other authorities where required by law. We do not sell your personal data.

6. International transfers

We store your data in the UK or the European Economic Area. If we ever need to transfer data outside the UK or EEA, we will ensure that suitable safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.

7. How long we keep your data

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for our services and legal obligations. This is typically six years from the end of our client relationship, and longer where required by tax law, litigation or professional rules. Data no longer required is securely destroyed.

8. Your rights

Under the UK GDPR you have the right to request a copy of your personal data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to request deletion where applicable, to restrict how we use your data in certain cases, to receive your data in a reusable format, to object to certain uses such as marketing, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@jafell.co.uk. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

9. Automated decision making and profiling

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing or profiling.

10. If you download our guide

When you ask for a guide from this website we collect your name, your firm's name and your email address. We use them to send you the guide, and to write to you occasionally about tax and running an advice firm. That second use relies on your consent, and every email carries an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops the emails and we keep only a record that you asked us to stop, so that we do not contact you again by mistake.

Form submissions are handled by Netlify, who host this website and process the data on our behalf under a contract. Netlify is based in the United States, so this involves a transfer outside the UK, made under safeguards approved for that purpose. We do not sell your details and we do not share them with anyone else for marketing.

11. Cookies

This website uses only the cookies that are necessary for it to work. No analytics, advertising or tracking cookies are set. If that changes we will ask for your consent first, and this notice will be updated before any such cookie is used.

12. Changes to this notice

We keep this notice under review and may update it from time to time. The latest version is always available on this website.
