What we collect
- Details you give us, such as your name, business name, email address and phone number, through this website, by email or by phone.
- Documents you send us for a review, such as statements, bills and contracts.
- Records of our calls and messages. Calls may be recorded and transcribed so we have an accurate record of what was discussed.
- Business contact details from public sources, such as business listings, which we use to contact businesses that may benefit from our service.
How we use it, and why

- To carry out reviews and act for you when you’ve asked us to. This is necessary for our agreement with you.
- To keep business and tax records, which the law requires.
Who we share it with
We share information with the companies that host this website and provide our email and phone services, only as far as they need it to provide those services. When you ask us to negotiate or arrange a switch for you, we share what’s needed with your current provider or the provider you choose. We never sell your information.
Where it’s stored
We’re based in the UK and work with businesses in the US. Some of our service providers store information in the United States. When information leaves the UK, we rely on the safeguards UK data protection law provides for international transfers.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiries that don’t go any further for up to 12 months. Bills, statements and review notes are kept while we work together and deleted within 12 months after that, or sooner if you ask. Financial records are kept for six years for tax purposes.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it, including asking us not to contact you again. Email joe@sterlingmargin.com and we’ll respond within one month.
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
