The data we hold

Typically we only hold information required to conduct typical business activities – whether that is between client and us or between other consultants and us. Usually this in the form of name, address, email address and phone numbers. There may be additional information held as required to allow invoicing.

BPN Architects do not hold and would never ask for “special category data” such as health records or information relating to someone’s race, religion or sexual orientation.

How we collect it

We only collect data that people provide to us voluntarily via email or other direct contact. This will be re-confirmed via various mediums such as email signatures, appointment letters and other formal business correspondence. 

BPN Architects do not buy in marketing lists or use similar third party processes for gaining personal information.

How we use it

The data we hold is generally for maintaining communication. Whether that be ongoing between us and our clients or us and other consultants. The data is not shared without consent.

How we protect it

All our data is stored within secure, password protected, hard or cloud based servers. We have internal procedures in place to ensure our security systems are constantly updated to the latest standards.
