  • Name
  • Work email address and/or phone number
  • Organisation name and job title (if provided)
  • The content of your message/enquiry and any attachments you send

b) Information collected automatically (website usage)

When you use our website, we may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited (often via cookies or similar technologies).
If we use analytics tools, this information helps us understand how our website is used and improve performance.

How we use your information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  • To comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax/accounting requirements or responding to lawful requests).
  • To respond to enquiries and communicate with you (e.g., replying to a message, scheduling a call).
  • To provide and manage our services (e.g., proposals, contracting, delivering assurance/audit work, client support).
  • To manage our business operations (e.g., maintaining records, improving internal processes, security).
  • To improve our website (e.g., troubleshooting, analytics, performance monitoring).

Legal bases for processing

Data protection law requires us to have a valid legal basis for processing personal information. This includes the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, and where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

a) Legitimate interests

We may process business contact details and enquiry information where it is necessary to respond to requests, manage business relationships, and operate our services in ways people would reasonably expect, with minimal privacy impact.

When we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the processing is necessary and balance our interests against your rights and freedoms (and we will honour your right to object where applicable).

b) Contract (or steps prior to entering a contract)

We may process personal information where it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to perform a contract with you or your organisation (for example, delivering services or managing the engagement).

c) Legal obligation

We may process personal information where necessary to comply with legal obligations (for example, record-keeping or responding to lawful requests).

d) Consent (where required)

In some cases we rely on consent — for example, where required for certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies/technologies. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Marketing (B2B)

If we send occasional updates about our services or insights relevant to sustainability assurance, we will do so in line with applicable rules and you can opt out at any time. You can opt out by using an unsubscribe link (if provided) or by emailing us at privacy@atveris.com

Who we share personal information with

We may share personal information with trusted service providers who help us run our business (for example, website hosting, email providers, IT support, and security tools).
We only share information as necessary for the purposes described above and expect providers to protect it appropriately.

We do not sell personal information.

International transfers

Some suppliers may process information outside the UK.
If personal information is transferred internationally, we use appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections) to help keep it protected.

Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this notice, and to meet legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements where applicable.
