Why we use it
To deliver and support the services you buy, to run our accounts, and — with your consent — to keep in touch.

Overview
This policy explains how ARK Assist & Support Ltd collects, uses, shares and protects personal data through our websites (arkassist.co.uk and arkconnect.co.uk), our client portal and online shop, and the IT, communications and support services we provide.
It covers two different roles. For our own website visitors, enquirers, customer contacts and suppliers we are the data controller. When we manage IT systems on a customer's behalf — mailboxes, devices, networks, security tooling — we act as a data processor for that customer under a contract, and their own privacy notice governs how their staff and clients' data is used.
