• Third parties or regulatory bodies where required (for example, HMRC or professional advisers)
Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data under the following lawful bases:
• Contractual necessity: to perform our professional duties under engagement letters
• Legal obligation: to comply with tax, accounting and anti-money-laundering regulations and where necessary the wider UK law and applicable interests.
• Legitimate interests: to manage operations, maintain quality and communicate with clients or prospects
• Consent: for marketing communications or non-essential cookies
How We Use Your Information
We use personal data solely to:

• Verify identity and complete due-diligence and AML checks.
• Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
• Communicate about engagements, deadlines or relevant updates.

• Support sales, marketing, and career opportunities where relevant.
• Improve our website functionality and client experience.

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling and all data is used only for lawful and legitimate purposes.
Who We Share Personal Data With
We only share data where necessary and under strict confidentiality or data-processing terms. This may include:
• Regulators and public authorities
• Professional advisers, consultants, or contractors assisting in service delivery
• Providers of compliance, IT, or administrative support operating under confidentiality obligations
• Carefully selected employees, contractors or authorised support personnel, including those located outside the United Kingdom where appropriate, who assist with administrative, operational or back-office functions.
Any such access is limited to what is reasonably necessary, subject to confidentiality obligations and appropriate data protection safeguards. Responsibility for all professional services remains with DMP Accountants & Valuations Limited.
• Law-enforcement bodies or courts where disclosure is legally required
We never sell personal data or use it for unrelated marketing purposes.
Where a public authority, regulator, law-enforcement body or court requests information, we will only disclose personal data where we consider there to be an appropriate lawful basis, legal obligation, regulatory requirement or other valid legal grounds to do so; and we reserve the right to verify, challenge or seek clarification on the scope of any request where appropriate.
Security Measures
We employ appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards to protect against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data.
We review and update our safeguards regularly to ensure continued protection. Access to personal information is restricted to those individuals who require it for legitimate business purposes and who are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
International Transfers
Where data is transferred or stored outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses. This may include the use of authorised service providers or support personnel located outside the United Kingdom where appropriate operational safeguards are in place to maintain equivalent protection levels.
Where international data transfers occur, equivalent protection is ensured through adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner.
Regulatory Compliance
We operate in accordance with UK data protection and anti-money-laundering regulations, ensuring all client information is processed, stored and handled securely in line with applicable UK law.
We owe professional duties of confidentiality to our clients and take appropriate measures to preserve confidential information except where disclosure is authorised by the client, required by law, permitted under applicable professional or regulatory obligations, or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, and to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Typically, this will be 7 years after the end of the client relationship unless required otherwise by law.

Relationship with Engagement Letters
By signing our Engagement Letter, you confirm that you have read and accepted this Privacy Policy. The Engagement Letter and this Privacy Policy should be read together, with each document forming part of the overall terms governing our professional relationship. Each document applies according to its subject matter and complements the other.
Where a provision of an Engagement Letter expressly varies or supplements a matter addressed within this Privacy Policy for a particular engagement, that provision shall apply only to the extent of that specific variation, and the remainder of this Privacy Policy shall continue to apply.
Reservation of Rights
We reserve the right to protect our business and operations, including the right to refuse or withdraw services where continuing would be unlawful, unethical, or detrimental to our firm. Nothing in this policy limits our statutory rights or obligations.
DMP Accountants & Valuations Limited maintains appropriate professional indemnity insurance and business insurance and complies with applicable anti-money-laundering and data-protection requirements.
Website Enquiries, Misuse and Reservation of Rights
This website is provided for genuine informational and business enquiry purposes only. Any enquiry submitted through this website, by email, telephone or other communication method should be accurate, lawful and made in good faith.
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend or withdraw engagement where we reasonably believe that an enquiry, instruction or communication is misleading, incomplete, artificial, vexatious, unlawful, made in bad faith, or inconsistent with the proper use of our website or services.
No information on this website constitutes legal, tax, accounting, valuation or professional advice unless confirmed in writing under a formal engagement letter. Any general information provided before engagement is for guidance only and must not be relied upon as advice specific to any person, company or transaction.
We may retain records of enquiries, communications, website submissions, call notes and related information where reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes, compliance, professional risk management, fraud prevention, complaint handling, debt recovery, regulatory compliance or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where we receive requests, enquiries or communications from public authorities, regulators, law-enforcement bodies or government agencies, we will consider and respond to them in accordance with applicable law. We reserve all rights to verify the authority, scope and lawful basis of any request before disclosing information, except where we are legally required not to do so.
Nothing in this policy should be interpreted as waiving any legal privilege, confidentiality, professional duty, statutory right, procedural protection, right of defence or right to challenge the lawfulness, scope or proportionality of any request, investigation, enforcement action or information demand.
Where any person or body accesses this website, submits an enquiry or communicates with us for investigative, enforcement, monitoring or evidential purposes, we reserve the right to rely on the full context of the communication, the information available to us at the time, our internal records, applicable professional obligations and all rights and defences available under law.
We do not consent to any misuse of this website, including attempts to induce error, create artificial reliance, misrepresent facts, obtain advice without proper engagement, bypass onboarding checks, or create misleading evidence of our services, advice or business practices.
This section does not limit any lawful rights or powers of public authorities, regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies. It is intended to preserve our rights, protect the integrity of our business, ensure fair use of our website and maintain accurate records where necessary for compliance, risk management and legal defence.
