• Understanding and responding to customer feedback;
• Researching and analysing the services our customers want;
• Improving our product
• In some circumstances we may process your personal data because it is required for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation.
• ​​

We utilise data processors such as Hubspot CRM, Wave Apps and MailChimp as communication distribution tools. The data stored in these apps is fully secured and never shared with any other businesses or individuals outside of the company.​​
