Emails are stored on Microsoft’s server and on a laptop and mobile devices for business use. These are kept locked with passwords and due consideration of hardware is given when in public places to avoid risk of theft. Marketing data is stored on Mailerlite as outlined above.

What data breach procedures we have in place

Any breach of data will be reported to the ICO within 72 hours if a risk to individuals has been identified. We will also inform clients and users if their data has been compromised. By taking minimal information about clients and users this action is highly unlikely to be necessary.
