How Aston Finch handles personal information provided through this website and in the course of an exit-readiness review.
Last updated: 5 August 2026
Aston Finch is an independent advisory business based in the United Kingdom, and is the data controller for personal information collected through this website.
For any question about this notice, or to exercise your rights, contact us at info@astonfinch.com.
If you use the enquiry form, we collect the name, business name, email address and, if you provide them, telephone number and approximate turnover band, together with what you tell us about your enquiry.
If you go on to commission a review, we will hold the business information you share with us for that purpose, which may include personal information about you and, in limited circumstances, about others connected to the business.
This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or third-party analytics. No non-essential cookies are set.
We do not use your information for marketing lists or automated decision-making.
Information is not sold, and it is not shared with brokers, buyers or introducers. We use a small number of service providers to operate the website and our email, who process information on our instructions only. We will share information with your own advisers where you ask us to, and with others where we are required to by law.
Enquiries that do not proceed are normally retained for up to 12 months after our last meaningful contact and are then securely deleted. Records relating to completed engagements are retained for up to six years after completion to meet legal, regulatory and professional record-keeping requirements, after which they are securely deleted unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Information is held on systems provided by established suppliers. Where information is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we rely on the safeguards those suppliers put in place, such as the UK international data transfer agreement or an adequacy decision.
You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to ask for it to be transferred to another organisation. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. We would prefer the chance to put things right first.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold, and we ask for no more information than a review requires.
We may update this notice from time to time. The current version is always the one published on this page.
