The telephone number is 0161 929 1905 and the email address is help@lineshenry.co.uk. The Standard Terms of Business for Insolvency and Advisory Assignments that applies to all work that is done by Lines Henry can be found in the Information Area of the website at www.lineshenry.co.uk under ‘Provision of Services Regulations’. Lines Henry Ltd is a data controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Lines Henry is a firm of licensed insolvency practitioners authorised to act as such by the Insolvency Practitioners Association. The work done covers the following:

  • Liquidations – members, creditors, and compulsory
  • Administration
  • Individual and Company Voluntary Arrangement
  • Bankruptcy
  • General business advice

In performing this work, Lines Henry will gather personal data about individuals. The need for this information will be to allow Lines Henry to carry out its duties and responsibilities. These are set out by Insolvency Act, 1986; Insolvency (England & Wales) Rules, 2016; money laundering regulations and other statutes; professional guidelines issued by the Insolvency Practitioners Association and the Insolvency Service; and Statements of Insolvency Practice. If Lines Henry is engaged in a matter that does not require an appointment under the terms of the Insolvency Act, 1986 then the nature of our work will be covered by a letter of engagement which will set out the basis on which we are carrying out the assignment.

In all cases Lines Henry will perform an identity check on the people who are instructing the firm to do work for them. This will be done by taking certified copies of relevant identity documentation which may include passports, driving licences, and utility bills followed by an online identity verification check using a recognised provider of such a service.

Lines Henry will ensure that:

  1. Personal data will be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. The reason why Lines Henry processes data is to allow it to carry out its duties and obligations as licensed insolvency practitioners and business advisors.

 

  1. Personal data that is collected will be solely for the legitimate purposes of allowing Lines Henry to carry out its duties and obligations as licensed insolvency practitioners and business advisors.

  1. The Personal data gathered will be accurate. If inaccuracies occur, or the data changes, then the record of the data will be rectified as soon as possible.

 

  1. Personal data will be kept for no longer than is absolutely necessary. In matters where a formal appointment has been taken by Lines Henry either under the terms of the Insolvency Act, 1986, or following on from a letter of engagement where the appointment does not come under the terms of the Insolvency Act, 1986, then personal data will be held for six years after the completion of the assignment. It will then be destroyed safely.

 

  1. Personal data will be held securely. Personal data will be held in two ways – both digitally and on paper.
  • Firstly, digitally in which case it is stored on the servers of Lines Henry. These servers are backed up daily with the back-up removed from the premises as a security measure. In addition, Lines Henry uses an independent firm of specialists to ensure that the hardware and software used by the firm is secure and safe from cyber-attack. Hardware and software are monitored constantly and upgraded when necessary.
  • Secondly, on paper in which case the files are kept at the offices of Lines Henry in Altrincham. In matters that have been closed, paper files are kept in a secure off site storage facility that is provided by a third party that is independent of Lines Henry.

 

The personal data that is held is used for the legitimate purposes of Lines Henry. It will not be shared with any other businesses or institutions unless there is a legal obligation to do so.

Individuals have the right to request that information held by Lines Henry is rectified, erased or restricted. Every effort will be made to ensure that the data held is accurate and Lines Henry will correct any data that is known to be inaccurate. The right to erasure or restriction of records does not override the statutory obligation that Lines Henry has to retain records for 6 years after the date of ceasing to act.

However, data will be erased if there is no good reason for it to be retained by Lines Henry. A request to rectify, erase, or restrict data should be made to Lines Henry by telephone, post or email.
