We use personal data only where we have a valid lawful basis to do so.

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

To respond to enquiries and requests

We use your details to respond to messages, contact form submissions, demonstration requests, support questions and other communications.

  • Where necessary for compliance with legal obligations.

6. When ERItax acts as a data processor on behalf of customers

In addition to acting as a data controller for our own business purposes, there will be circumstances in which ERItax processes personal data on behalf of a customer.

Where a customer uploads or enters personal data into the ERItax platform relating to its own clients, investors, contacts, representatives, brokers, account holders or other third parties, that customer will generally be the data controller for that personal data and ERItax will generally act as a data processor on the customer’s behalf.

In those circumstances:

  • We process such personal data in order to provide and support the hosted services;
  • We process such personal data on the customer’s documented instructions, subject to applicable law;
  • The customer remains responsible for determining its lawful basis for processing, giving any required privacy information to the relevant individuals, and ensuring that its use of the services complies with applicable data protection law; and
  • The more specific data processing terms for that customer data are governed by the applicable subscription agreement, customer agreement and any related data processing addendum.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Privacy Policy is intended to provide general transparency regarding such processing, but where ERItax acts as processor the applicable customer contract and data processing addendum govern the processor relationship in more detail.

7. If you do not provide personal data

Where we need personal data to respond to your enquiry, provide requested information, enter into a contract, create an account, administer a subscription, or deliver services, and you do not provide that data, we may be unable to do so fully.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, analytics and, where applicable, user preference management.

We maintain a separate Cookie Policy which explains:

  • What cookies and similar technologies we use;
  • Why we use them; and
  • How you can manage your preferences.

Please read our Cookie Policy for more information.

9. Sharing your personal data

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share personal data where necessary with:

  • Companies within our corporate group, where relevant, for internal administration or service provision;
  • Website hosting, infrastructure, cloud database, analytics, advertising, productivity, communications, payment, IT support and security providers;
  • Professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants, insurers and auditors;
  • Regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts or public authorities where required by law or necessary to protect our rights; and
  • Actual or prospective buyers, investors or advisers in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality measures.

If third-party providers process personal data on our behalf, we require them to do so only on our instructions where applicable and to implement appropriate security measures.

Our current service providers may include Microsoft business services, Google services (including analytics and advertising tools where enabled), IONOS UK hosting and cloud database infrastructure, and other service providers used for communications, operations, billing, support and security.

10. International transfers

ERItax seeks, where practicable, to use UK-based hosting and UK-based database infrastructure for its core website and platform environments, and we currently exclusively use UK-based hosting arrangements for core website and database infrastructure.

However, some of our service providers may process personal data outside the UK or European Economic Area, or may permit support, administration or access from outside the UK in limited circumstances.

Where we transfer personal data internationally, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection;
  • The use of approved standard contractual clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / addendum; or
  • Another lawful transfer mechanism permitted by applicable law.

You can contact us if you would like further information about any international transfers and the safeguards we use.

11. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, security and reporting requirements.

As a guide:

Record type Retention period
General enquiries and contact form submissions Typically up to 24 months after the last substantive contact, unless a longer period is needed for ongoing discussions or legal reasons.
Prospective client / demonstration request records Typically up to 24 months after the last substantive interaction, unless converted into a customer relationship.
Customer, subscription and contractual records For the duration of the relationship and then for a reasonable period afterwards, commonly up to 6 years, or longer where required for legal, tax or regulatory reasons.
Technical logs, API logs and security records Retained for as long as necessary for security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention, service integrity and enforcement purposes.
Marketing suppression records Retained as necessary to ensure we continue to respect opt-out requests.
Customer Personal Data processed by us as processor Generally retained in accordance with the relevant customer agreement and data processing addendum, and typically deleted or returned following termination or expiry of the customer relationship unless retention is required by law or otherwise agreed in writing.

In some cases we may retain data for longer where necessary to comply with law, resolve disputes, enforce agreements or defend legal claims.

12. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure and unauthorised access.

These measures may include:

  • Secure hosting and access controls;
  • Encryption where appropriate;
  • Authentication, session and access management controls;
  • Logging, monitoring and security review processes;
  • Least-privilege access practices and confidentiality obligations; and
  • Contractual controls with service providers and sub-processors.

However, no transmission over the internet or electronic storage method is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you have the following rights under applicable data protection law:

  • The right to be informed about how your personal data is used;
  • The right of access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • The right to rectification if your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete;
  • The right to erasure in certain circumstances;
  • The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances;
  • The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to direct marketing;
  • The right to data portability in certain circumstances;
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent; and
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the details in section 1.

We may need to request information to confirm your identity before responding to your request.

Where ERItax acts purely as a data processor on behalf of one of our customers, you may also need to contact the relevant customer directly, as that customer will usually be the data controller responsible for responding to your request.

14. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, please contact us in the first instance and we will try to resolve the issue.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) in the UK:
