2. What this policy covers
This policy explains how we collect, use, store and share personal data relating to visitors to this website, prospective and current clients, contacts, and individuals whose data we process in the course of providing our services.
3. What personal data we collect
The categories of personal data we may process include:
Contact and identification data — name, email address, telephone number, postal address, job title, employer.
Enquiry data — information you provide when you contact us through the website, by email or by telephone.
Website usage data — IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time and date of access, referring URL. This data is collected via cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
Client and engagement data — where we provide advisory services, we may process financial, tax, employment, immigration and related personal data as necessary for the engagement. This is governed by our letter of engagement.
4. How we use your data
We process personal data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:
To respond to your enquiries and manage our relationship with you — legitimate interest and, where applicable, performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps.
To provide our advisory services — performance of a contract and, where applicable, legal obligation (for example, anti-money laundering requirements).
To comply with legal and regulatory obligations — legal obligation (including Companies Act requirements, anti-money laundering legislation, and HMRC obligations).
To operate and improve this website and analyse usage — legitimate interest in maintaining and improving our online presence.
To send you relevant updates about our services or developments in areas relevant to your interests — legitimate interest (for existing contacts) or consent (where required by law). You can opt out at any time.
Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have assessed that our interest does not override your rights. You may object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time (see section 9).
5. Who we share data with
We may share personal data with:
Our specialist network partners — where necessary to deliver services you have engaged us to provide or to coordinate advisory work. This may include partners based outside the United Kingdom (including in the Netherlands, United States, Switzerland, China and other jurisdictions relevant to your engagement).
Professional advisers and service providers — including relocation providers, immigration advisors, other tax advisors, accountants and legal advisers, acting on our behalf or in connection with our business operations.
Regulatory and tax authorities — where required by law or regulation.
We do not sell personal data. We require any third party to whom we disclose personal data to process it lawfully and in accordance with our instructions.
6. International transfers
Where we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK GDPR. These may include transfers to countries with an adequacy decision, or transfers subject to the International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. How long we keep data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Our standard retention periods are:
Website enquiry data — 2 years from the date of the enquiry unless a professional engagement follows.
Client engagement data — 7 years from the end of the engagement (reflecting HMRC and anti-money laundering record-keeping requirements), or longer where required for ongoing legal claims or regulatory obligations.
Website analytics data — 26 months (or shorter, depending on cookie settings).
8. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or destruction. Our client portal operates via a secure, encrypted platform.
9. Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to: access your personal data; rectification of inaccurate data; erasure of data (in certain circumstances); restriction of processing; data portability (where applicable); object to processing based on legitimate interest; and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@fentoninternational.com marking your message "Privacy." We will respond within one month. In some cases, legal obligations (such as anti-money laundering record-keeping) may mean we cannot comply fully with a request.
10. Complaints
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk.
