This website does not set cookies. We do not run any third-party analytics or tracking scripts.

All personal data is held and handled securely, and is kept only for as long as remains necessary for the purposes for which it was originally gathered. We will at all times meet our obligations and protect your rights under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

Your data is used by us in order to:

• Give you access to Our Site and manage that access
• Reply to enquiries that you send through our contact forms
• Deliver our services to you, where this is relevant
• Contact you about our services

Your personal data will not be passed to any third party for marketing purposes. Under no circumstances will we sell your personal data.

The UK GDPR requires us to have a lawful basis before we can process your personal data. The bases that apply are:

• Consent: You have given us unambiguous permission to process your personal data for a particular purpose (for example, when you complete a contact form).
• Contract: The processing is required to perform a contract we hold with you, or to take specific steps at your request before a contract is entered into.
• Legitimate interest: The processing is necessary for legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where those interests are overridden by a compelling need to protect your personal data.

Your personal data will not be held by us for any longer than remains necessary for the purposes for which it was originally obtained. The retention periods below apply (and where a fixed period is not set, the criteria described are used to determine how long data is kept):

• Contact form submissions: Held for up to 12 months following your most recent contact with us, unless a business relationship begins.
• Client data: Held for as long as our business relationship lasts and for up to 6 years after it ends, to satisfy legal and regulatory obligations.
• Website server logs: Held for up to 90 days.

The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 give you the following rights:

• Right of access: You may ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You may require us to correct any inaccurate personal data.
• Right to erasure: In certain situations you may require us to delete your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing: In certain situations you may require us to limit how we process your personal data.
• Right to data portability: You may ask to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: In certain situations you may object to the processing of your personal data.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please reach out to our Data Protection Officer at dpo@hove.capital. You will receive a response within one month.

You can also make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which is the UK supervisory authority for data protection. The ICO is reachable at ico.org.uk.

Your personal data may be shared by us with the following types of third party:

• Service providers: Organisations that deliver services on our behalf, for example hosting, email delivery, and payment processing. Such providers are under contractual obligations to safeguard your data.
• Professional advisers: The solicitors, accountants, and auditors we use when professional advice is required.
• Regulatory bodies: Disclosures that are legally mandated, for instance to HMRC or the FCA.

We never sell, rent, or exchange your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Your personal data is kept and processed within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). Should we need to move your data beyond the UK/EEA, we will put suitable safeguards in place — for instance, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner — so that your data receives the same level of protection it would inside the UK.

This Privacy Policy may be revised by us from time to time. Any amendments will appear on this page together with a new revision date. We suggest you check back here periodically so that you remain aware of how we protect your data.

Should you have any queries regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, or if you would like to exercise your rights, please get in touch:
