Company data and public sources

Much of the business information on CompaniesGarden comes from public, registry, automated discovery, or user-supplied sources. Company profile pages may include a mixture of official registry data, discovered public web data, and user corrections. Not all company information is personal data, but if personal data appears in company-related submissions or communications, we handle it in line with this policy.

International transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we aim to use appropriate safeguards and reputable providers.

How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose we collected it for, including to run user accounts, operate senses, manage page claims, deal with support requests, maintain security, and meet legal or record-keeping requirements.
