Scope – What Does This Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy applies only to your use of Our Site. It does not extend to any websites that are linked from Our Site (whether we provide those links or they are shared by other users). We have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by other websites and we advise you to check their privacy policies before providing any personal data to them.
What Is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the UK GDPR as any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. Personal data includes obvious information such as your name and contact details, but also less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers provided by your devices and applications. It also includes any expression of opinion about you, and any indication of the intentions of us or others in respect of you.
Your Rights
Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. We will always work to uphold these rights:
- The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy fulfils this obligation.
- The right of access to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you (a “subject access request”).
- The right to rectification if any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete.
- The right to erasure (also known as “the right to be forgotten”) — the right to ask us to delete or dispose of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- The right to restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- The right to object to our use of your personal data in certain circumstances, including where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis.
- The right to data portability — to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not currently make solely automated decisions (including profiling) about individuals that have legal or similarly significant effects.
For further information about your rights, please visit the ICO website at ico.org.uk/your-data-matters. If you wish to exercise any of your rights or have a question about how we handle your personal data, please contact us using the details set out in the “Contacting Us” section below. We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If a request is particularly complex or we receive a high volume of requests, we may extend this period by a further two months, in which case we will inform you.
If you have a complaint about how we have handled your personal data, we would appreciate the opportunity to resolve this directly — please contact us first. However, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO at any time: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or by calling 0303 123 1113.

How Do We Use Your Personal Data?
Under the Data Protection Legislation, we must always have a lawful basis for using your personal data. The following table summarises the main ways we use your data and the lawful basis we rely on in each case:
| Purpose | Lawful Basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to enquiries and providing information about our services | Legitimate interests / Performance of a contract (pre-contractual steps) |

| Protecting the security of Our Site and preventing fraud | Legitimate interests / Legal obligation |
Where we rely on consent as our lawful basis, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal. To withdraw consent or to opt out of marketing communications, please contact us at privacy@websolprov.com, or use the unsubscribe link included in any marketing email we send.
How Long Do We Keep Your Data?
We will not retain your personal data for any longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. When determining how long to keep personal data, we take into account the amount and nature of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements.
- Enquiry and contact data: retained for up to 3 years from your last interaction with us, unless you become a client.
- Client data: retained for 7 years from the end of the contract in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations.
- Marketing preferences: retained until you withdraw consent or opt out.
- Website analytics data: retained in accordance with the settings of the relevant analytics tool (typically up to 26 months for Google Analytics).
How and Where Do We Store Your Data?
We store personal data securely within the United Kingdom. In some cases, we may use third-party service providers (such as cloud hosting or analytics platforms) who may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as UK adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses approved by the ICO, or binding corporate rules.
We have in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. However, please be aware that the transmission of data via the internet is not entirely secure. Whilst we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any data sent to us over the internet.
Sharing Your Personal Data
We will not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: trusted third-party suppliers who process data on our behalf (e.g. hosting providers, analytics platforms, email delivery services). These parties act as data processors and are contractually required to process your data only on our instructions and in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation.
- Legal or regulatory obligations: where we are required to disclose your data by law, court order, or a regulatory authority.
- Business transfers: in the event that we sell or transfer all or part of our business, personal data held may be transferred to the new owner as part of that transaction. We will notify you in advance if this occurs.
Controlling Your Personal Data
You may restrict our use of your personal data at any time. In particular:
- If you have consented to receive marketing communications from us, you can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us at privacy@websolprov.com or by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.
- You can register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or Mailing Preference Service (MPS) to opt out of unsolicited telephone or postal marketing from third parties.
- You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
Accessing Your Personal Data
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (a subject access request). We will provide this free of charge and respond within one month of receiving a valid request. In certain circumstances (for example, where a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive), we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to respond, in which case we will explain our reasons.
To submit a subject access request, please contact us by email at privacy@websolprov.com or by post at 483 Green Lanes, London, N13 4BS. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
