Privacy notice
This notice explains how Litt Horizon uses personal information when you enquire, receive relevant business-to-business outreach or work with us.
Privacy questions and objections to direct marketing: contact@litthorizon.co.uk
Who is responsible for your information
Litt Horizon is responsible for personal information used for website enquiries, its own business administration and direct marketing. The service is currently in a pre-launch pilot phase.
When a supervised accounting practice instructs Litt Horizon to check approved client exports, that practice remains the controller and Litt Horizon acts only as its processor under written instructions. No client records are accepted until the parties have documented the controller, processor and AML responsibilities.
Email privacy questions to contact@litthorizon.co.uk.
Information we may use
- your name, role, work email and business contact details;
- the organisation you work for, its legal form and public business information;
- enquiry content, correspondence, meeting notes and service requirements;
- the public source URL and date where a business contact was researched;
- marketing history, replies, objections, bounce status and suppression status;
- contract, billing and service-administration records;
- technical and security records needed to operate and protect the website and services;
- approved export fields processed only under a supervised accounting practice's written instructions.
Do not submit bank details, tax references, credentials or client financial records through the public enquiry form.
Why we use information and our lawful bases
Where legitimate interests apply, the interest is operating, protecting and responsibly developing the business. We consider necessity, reasonable expectations and impact before relying on this basis.
Business-to-business outreach
We may identify relevant UK accounting practices and business contacts from public sources such as company websites, professional directories, Companies House records and published vacancy or growth information. We record the source and collection date.
We aim outreach at corporate subscribers where the service is relevant and identify ourselves in every message. Each message provides a valid reply address and a simple way to object. We do not knowingly send unsolicited electronic marketing to sole traders or ordinary partnerships unless consent or another valid permission applies.
You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing. Reply “no” or email contact@litthorizon.co.uk. We will stop marketing and keep only the minimum suppression information needed to respect the request.
How long we keep information
- Unsuccessful prospect research and outreach: normally deleted or anonymised within 12 months of the last relevant activity.
- Suppression records: a minimal record is retained while we conduct direct marketing so we do not contact you again.
- Website enquiries: the website copy is automatically removed from the enquiry store after 90 days; related business correspondence is normally kept for up to 12 months unless it becomes part of an engagement or a legal reason requires longer.
- Contracts, invoices and compliance records: for the applicable legal, tax and limitation period.
- Accounting-practice exports: no live export is accepted until the controller's written retention and deletion/return instruction is agreed.
- Security and operational logs: only for the period reasonably needed to protect and diagnose the service.
We may retain a record longer where a dispute, investigation, legal hold or statutory obligation requires it.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or an objection to processing. Where consent is used, you may withdraw it. You also have the right not to be subject to a solely automated decision with legal or similarly significant effects; we do not use the information described here for that kind of decision.
To exercise a right, email contact@litthorizon.co.uk. We may need to verify identity before releasing information.
You may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. We would appreciate the chance to address the concern first.
Changes to this notice
We will update this notice when our services or information-handling practices materially change. The latest version and revision date will remain on this page.
