Compliance centre — data rights, retention and audit

Handle Subject Access Requests, the right to erasure, data exports, retention sweeps, and the firm-wide audit log.

The compliance centre (/compliance) gives firms the tools to meet UK GDPR obligations while respecting HMRC's six-year retention rule for VAT records.

Overview dashboard

See open and overdue SARs, pending erasure requests, records past their retention date, and exports generated in the last 30 days at a glance.

Subject Access Requests

  • Log requests by type — access, erasure, rectification, portability, objection, restriction.
  • A one-month statutory deadline counts down on each request.
  • Move requests through their lifecycle (new → in progress → awaiting subject → completed/rejected); every change is audit-logged.

Right to erasure

Raise an erasure request against a user email. On approval, the account is anonymised while VAT records are retained under HMRC's six-year obligation — the two requirements are reconciled automatically.

Data exports

Generate a CSV + JSON bundle scoped to the whole firm, a single user, or a single organisation, available via a signed download link for 14 days.

Retention & audit

  • Retention — a sweep flags records eligible for purge once their retention window closes.
  • Audit log — a firm-wide, append-only record of compliance actions.
