How We Use Your Information
This is the privacy policy of BS Payroll. This policy tells you what to expect when we, BS Payroll, collect personal information.
Email: contact@bspayroll.co.uk.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is effective from 25th May 2018. It requires us to provide detailed information about processing of data that can identify a living person. This includes email addresses, businesses that operate as sole traders, and also the IP address of your device. We are required to tell you which lawful basis applies when we process your information and this is referred to below using the phrases Contract, Legal Obligation, Consent and Legitimate Interest.
Visitors to Our Website
When someone visits https://bspayroll.co.uk we collect log information that includes the time, the file being accessed and the IP address of the visitor’s device. We do this to ensure network and information security, which is a Legitimate Interest for the purposes of the GDPR, and we keep the logs for 3 months.
Customers and Suppliers
For customers and suppliers, we store organisation names, billing addresses and VAT information in order to enter into a Contract and we retain this for 6 years after the end of the Contract. We may occasionally post items to the billing address of current customers, to thank them for their custom, in the Legitimate Interest of maintaining good customer relationships. Please let us know if you object to this.
We keep financial and accounting records, which in some cases can identify a living person, for 7 years. This is to meet our Legal Obligations.
Correspondence
Most emails, including all emails to and from customers, are kept for up to 2 years, for dealing with the query and providing context for ongoing queries. This serves our Legitimate Interest of maintaining good relationships. Some emails from suppliers, business partners and government bodies, contain information relevant to an agreement or a technical matter, and these are retained for a period consistent with the Legitimate Interest served by each email.
Records of letters and other items posted to customers are kept for up to 2 years, in the Legitimate Interest of maintaining good customer relationships.

The data we collect is kept securely within the United Kingdom. It is not transferred outside the UK except if you choose the option to send data to an online accounting system or pension provider outside the UK, or to email payslips outside the UK.
Card Processing
BS Payroll does not store your card details on this BS Payroll website. If you choose to pay us by credit or debit card, you will be passed to the website of Opayo, which was formerly known as Sage Pay.
