Privacy and the pack
A visa file contains more of you than a newsletter ever should. We collect only what the destination requires, we keep it in the UK, and we delete it on a published timetable.
Controller
Cuspatevanta, 14 Dymoke St, Birmingham B12 0TA, United Kingdom, is the data controller. Write to [email protected]. We process personal data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What we hold
Identity data (passport, civil-status certificates), contact data, financial data (statements, invoices, employment letters), criminal-record certificates where a programme demands them, and correspondence. We do not scrape this website for marketing profiles.
Why we hold it
Contract: to prepare and lodge your application. Legal obligation: record-keeping and accounting. Legitimate interests: defending a professional-negligence claim, limited to the file itself. We do not sell data. We do not run remarketing pixels.
Where it sits
Files are stored on encrypted disks in the United Kingdom. Translators, apostille agents, couriers and destination authorities receive only the pages they need. Destination governments sit outside the UK; a transfer to a consulate is necessary to lodge the visa you instructed.
How long
Eligibility enquiries that do not convert: 12 months. Instructed files: 6 years from lodgement (limitation for contract claims). Accounting records: 6 years. You may ask for erasure earlier where no legal hold applies.
Your rights
- Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection.
- Complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies run the site. A single localStorage key (cuspatevanta_consent) remembers whether you accepted optional cookies. We set no advertising cookies. Analytics, if ever introduced, will be listed here before they fire.
