Our commitment to you: RT is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. Any decision we make regarding data will have considered the 7 data principles; more information on these can be found on the
ICO website https://ico.org.uk/ 

Information we may hold on you: your personal data is any information about you from which you can be identified. The data we collect depends on the nature of the services we are providing to you and can include:

  • basic details such as your name, address, and contact details;

  • professional information; and

  • any other personal data we collect in the course of providing our services.

Collection of data: we may collect your data:

  • from you in person;

  • by telephone;

How we use your information: we will mainly use information we collect:

  • where it is our legal duty;

  • when it is in our legitimate interest;

  • when you consent to the use of the data.

There are other lawful reasons that allow us to process your personal information and one of those is called "legitimate interest". This means that the reason we are processing your information is because there is a business or commercial reason to use your information.  If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is. We may process your data for the purposes of our own legitimate interests provided that those interests do not override any of your own interests, rights, and freedoms which require the protection of personal data. This includes processing for marketing purposes.

If you are an existing client, we may send you information about other products or services that we feel may be of interest to you. You have a right at any time to ask us to stop contacting you for marketing purposes.

When we can disclose your data: we will share your data with carefully selected third parties when:

  • you specifically request us to do so;

  • it is required in order for us to provide our services to you;

  • we are under a legal or regulatory duty to disclose your information; or

We may share your personal data where required and to the extent permitted with:

  • solicitors, insurers or any other instructing parties;

  • our auditors;

  • law enforcement agencies;

  • public bodies;

  • our external service suppliers who provide business support services; for example, we may disclose your data to the supplier which hosts the servers on which our data is stored (Microsoft Corporation, via Outlook 365, hosts all our emails and documents; Xero provides our invoicing services and Fasthosts Internet Ltd hosts our website);

  • any other third party you may ask us to share your data with.

Where our professional duties of confidence require that we seek your consent before sharing your data with a third party, we will do so. We do not allow our third party service providers to use your data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specific purposes in accordance with our instructions and applicable law.
