Data Protection & Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026 | Compliant with UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018 & Data (Use and Access) Act 2025

This policy explains how IAP UK Ltd collects, uses, stores and protects your personal data. IAP UK Ltd is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with our services.

What personal data do we collect?

We collect personal data necessary to provide our services, including: company name, contact names and job titles, postal address, telephone numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, and financial information where required for credit assessment or invoicing. We may also process personal data generated over networks we manage, including IP addresses and email addresses, for security and service delivery purposes.

How do we obtain personal data?

We obtain personal data from orders and enquiries placed by customers; from information gathered at marketing events or via our website; from third-party sources such as resellers; and directly from networks and systems we manage on your behalf.

Lawful basis for processing

We process personal data on the following lawful bases under Article 6 UK GDPR:

  • Contract — processing is necessary to deliver services you have engaged us to provide.
  • Legal obligation — where we are required to process data by law (e.g. HMRC reporting, payroll).
  • Legitimate interests — where we have a genuine business reason that does not override your rights (e.g. security monitoring, service improvement, direct marketing to existing customers).
  • Consent — where you have freely and clearly agreed to specific processing (e.g. marketing to prospective customers).

How do we use your personal data?

We use personal data to: deliver and support our services; process orders and invoices; manage your account; improve our services; comply with legal obligations; and, where you have not opted out, to inform you about IAP products and services we believe may be of interest.

Do we transfer personal data outside the UK?

We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the UK. Some third-party service providers (for example, Microsoft Azure, Xcitium/iTarian) may process data on servers outside the UK. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Data Processing Agreements and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA). We will not transfer your personal data internationally without appropriate protection in place.

Who do we share personal data with?

We share personal data only where necessary: within our internal teams to fulfil our obligations; with trusted sub-processors (such as Microsoft, Xcitium, Avast, 20i, and Xero) who are contractually bound to protect your data; with law enforcement or regulators where legally required; and, with your consent, with other third parties.

How long do we keep your data?

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. As a general rule: client data is retained for the duration of the contract and for 13 months following termination; financial and invoicing records are retained for 7 years in accordance with HMRC requirements; employee records are retained for the duration of employment plus 6 years. We do not retain personal data for longer than necessary.

How do we protect your data?

We take the security of your personal data seriously. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures including access controls, encrypted communications, multi-factor authentication on key systems, and regular security reviews. Where third parties process data on our behalf, we require them to maintain equivalent security standards under Data Processing Agreements.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you (Subject Access Request).
  • Right to rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure — ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to restrict processing — ask us to pause processing your data.
  • Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing (marketing objections will always be honoured immediately).

3.7.2 and until such time as the Customer has transferred to a new provider, IAP shall be entitled to amend its charges to its standard published usage charges.

3.8 The rights to terminate this agreement given by this clause shall not prejudice any other right or remedy of either party in respect of the breach concerned (if any) or any other breach. Continued use of the Services post termination will result in IAP levying its standard published usage charges for all Services used, which charges the Customer shall pay immediately upon demand.

  1. Access to premises

4.1 To enable IAP to comply with its obligations under the Agreement:

4.1.1 the Customer shall allow or procure permission for IAP and any other person(s) authorised by IAP to have reasonable access to the Customer’s premises and the Services’ connection points or, where network connection services form part of the Services, such location on the Customer’s premises and/or any neighbouring premises as IAP reasonably requires and shall at all times provide such reasonable assistance as IAP requests.

4.1.2 IAP will endeavour to carry out work by appointment and during normal working hours, but may request the Customer to provide access at other times. If at the request of the Customer IAP carries out work outside its normal working hours the Customer will be responsible for IAP’s reasonable additional charges.

4.1.3 the Customer shall carry out such site preparations as IAP may reasonably require.

4.2 If the Customer requests maintenance or repair work which is found to be unnecessary or results from an act or omission of the Customer, IAP will charge for the work and the costs incurred.

In the event that the work is undertaken by the Customer’s existing telephone system maintainer and not IAP, IAP will pay a maximum contribution of £75 plus VAT towards any charges raised by the Customer’s existing telephone system maintainer. The Customer is to pay all other costs.

  1. Charges and Payment

5.1 Unless otherwise specified in writing by IAP the Customer agrees to pay IAP’s charges and/or budget plan payments monthly by Direct Debit, the first payment to be made at the discretion of IAP within thirty days of the start of the provision of the Services. Where network connection and/or line rental services form part of the Services the charges shall be paid in advance.

5.2 Usage charges will be such charges for the use of the Services by the Customer as IAP may notify to the Customer from time to time by e-mail or by post. Details of the Customer’s current charges can be obtained by emailing IAP at [email protected] with full account details. There may be a minimum monthly usage charge and low usage charge for each Service as set out in IAP’s price list from time to time. Usage charges payable shall be calculated by reference to any data recorded or logged by IAP or its service carrier and not by reference to any data recorded or logged by the Customer. IAP shall be entitled to estimate the usage charges in circumstances where the relevant data is not available to IAP in a timely manner, and any estimated usage charge shall be reconciled on a subsequent invoice.

5.2.1 Unless otherwise stated all other amounts due from the Customer to IAP shall be paid within 30 days of the date of IAP’s invoice.

5.3 The price for the Services is exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which the Customer shall be additionally liable to pay to IAP.

5.4 The Customer agrees to pay IAP in full without any set-off all sums due to IAP under this Agreement.

5.5 IAP shall be entitled to require the Customer to pay a deposit in respect of future usage charges and the Customer shall pay the amount so required within 14 days of a request for the same.

5.6 The Customer authorises IAP to vary the amount, frequency and time of any Direct Debit to such level as IAP deem reasonably appropriate (a) to take account of either an increase or decrease in usage of the Services by the Customer (b) to reduce such indebtedness of the Customer to IAP and/or (c) to such other operational matter affecting the Services as IAP shall in its discretion deem reasonable.

5.7 If any Direct Debit is cancelled or returned unpaid by the Customer’s bank or if the Customer fails to discharge any invoice within 30 days of its due date, then, without limiting any other right or remedy available to IAP (such failure to pay being a material breach of this agreement), and without prejudice to any right or remedies under this Agreement, IAP shall from the time of such failure provide the Services at the standard published usage charges and in addition charge the Customer an administration fee of £7.50 and interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 8 per cent per anum above Royal Bank of Scotland PLC’s base rate from time to time, until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest). For the avoidance of doubt the time of payment is the essence of this Agreement and a failure to pay on time or the cancellation of a Direct Debit shall be a material breach of contract allowing IAP to terminate this Agreement immediately.

5.8 Should the Customer have any dispute with regard to the usage charges or any other charges, the Customer shall give written notice to IAP of the amount in dispute and the reason for the dispute. Such notice must be received prior to the Customer not paying any amount due to IAP, failing which the Customer shall be deemed to be in breach of contract and clause 3.3.3 shall apply together with clause 5.8 in respect of the entire balance. The Customer shall remain liable to pay all amounts not in dispute in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

  1. Suspension of the Services

6.1 IAP shall be entitled, for business, operational or technical reasons or in order to comply with any numbering scheme or other obligation imposed on IAP by its licence or by any other competent authority (including any network provider), to withdraw or change any telephone number or code or group of numbers or codes allocated to the Customer whether on a temporary or permanent basis provided that IAP gives the Customer the maximum period of notice in writing thereof practicable in the circumstances.

6.2 If the Customer is in breach of a material term of this agreement IAP may at its sole discretion and upon giving the Customer written notice elect to suspend without compensation the provision of Services for a period not exceeding 14 days. If the breach is capable of remedy and is remedied by the Customer within the 14-day period then IAP shall recommence the provision of Services. If the breach is not capable of remedy or if so capable is not remedied within the period of 14 days, then IAP shall have the option of either terminating this Agreement under the provision of clause 6.1 or of continuing the Services.

6.3 If the Customer’s call charges exceed the estimated call spend or the credit limit given to the Customer by IAP, whichever is the lower, then IAP reserves the right to request immediate payment of the excess amount and to demand in accordance with clause 5.6 a deposit be paid in such amount as IAP shall deem to be reasonable. If payment is not made forthwith by the Customer, IAP shall be entitled to suspend all or any of the Services until payment of the excess amount is made in full.

6.4 Notwithstanding and without prejudice to any of its rights under this Agreement, IAP reserves the right to withdraw the Services or any part thereof at any time if the monthly charges to the Customer are not, in the opinion of IAP, sufficient to make provision of the Services viable for IAP.

  1. Liability
