This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal data when you visit www.crownitexperts.com (the “Website”) or use our services, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Who We Are

For the purposes of data protection law, Crown IT Experts is the data controller of personal data collected through this Website.
2. Personal Data We Collect
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:
- Contact and enquiry data – your name, email address, phone number, company name and the content of any message you send us through our enquiry or quote forms.
- Newsletter data – your email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter.

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16, and this Website is not directed at them.
3. How and Why We Use Your Data
We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so:
- To respond to enquiries and provide quotes – processed on the basis of taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR).
- To deliver our services and manage client accounts – processed for the performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).

- To comply with legal obligations – such as accounting and tax record-keeping (Article 6(1)(c)).
4. Cookies
Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies. When you first visit, a consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies:
- Essential cookies – required for the Website to function, including remembering your cookie preferences. These are always active.
- Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it. These are only set if you accept them.
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this Website, after which the consent banner will appear again. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings.
5. Who We Share Data With
We never sell your personal data. We may share it with:
- Service providers – trusted third parties who help us operate the Website and our business, such as form-processing providers (used to deliver enquiry form submissions to our inbox), email providers and hosting providers. These providers act under contract and only process data on our instructions.
- Professional advisers – such as accountants, lawyers and insurers, where reasonably necessary.
- Authorities – where required by law, court order or to protect our legal rights.
Where a provider processes data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or an adequacy decision.
6. How Long We Keep Your Data
- Enquiry data – kept for up to 24 months from your last contact, unless you become a client.
- Client and contract data – kept for 6 years after the end of the engagement, in line with UK legal and tax requirements.
- Newsletter data – kept until you unsubscribe or we delete inactive subscriptions.
- Analytics data – retained in aggregated, non-identifying form.
7. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, access controls, and reputable UK/EU-based hosting. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, but we work continuously to safeguard your information and will notify you and the ICO of any qualifying data breach as required by law.
8. Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure – ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances.
