Where possible we ensure that data remains within the jurisdiction of the UK. We have ensured all 3rd party systems have their own GDPR policies in place. We will not share personal data with any other company other than Welfare Call Group approved suppliers whose systems Welfare Call Group requires to run the business. We do not authorise any 3rd party systems to use client data for their own marketing purposes. Our communication with you by email is processed and stored on Microsoft servers, also within the UK.
No other third party providers have access to your data, unless specifically required by law.
How long we keep it
Under UK law, we are only required to keep your information according to the time periods outlined in our Data Retention Policy. After this period, your personal data will be irreversibly destroyed.
