Some providers may be outside the UK. When that happens, we use appropriate transfer safeguards (eg the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs) and additional measures where needed. We keep details of current providers and safeguards available on request.

You have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability, in the circumstances set out in UK GDPR. Where we rely on consent (eg marketing), you can withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise your rights, contact us at info@sedgemoortelecom.co.uk or write to our registered office.

We only set strictly necessary cookies. If we introduce optional analytics or advertising cookies in future, we will request your prior consent via a cookie banner and explain what each cookie does in a Cookies Policy. You can change your cookie settings at any time via your browser or our banner (when present).

Keeping your data secure

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data (for example, TLS encryption in transit, access controls, backups and patching). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we aim to keep risk proportionate and under review.
