How we collect personal data

We collect personal data:

• directly from you, for example when you submit an enquiry through our “Contact Us” page or email us

• through our website and IT systems when you browse the site

• from professional interactions, meetings, calls, correspondence, introductions and exchanged business cards

• from publicly available professional sources, such as company websites, Companies House filings, professional directories, press releases and professional networking platforms

• from third parties who introduce us in a professional capacity

Where we obtain your personal data indirectly, we will provide privacy information in accordance with applicable law. Where we intend to use that information to communicate with you, we will usually provide that privacy information at the latest when we first communicate with you and, where required by law, no later than one month after obtaining the data, unless an exception applies. 

How we use personal data and our lawful bases

We use personal data for the following purposes.

a. To respond to enquiries

We use the information submitted through our “Contact Us” page, email or telephone to respond to your enquiry, communicate with you about your request, keep a record of our communications.

Lawful basis: 

Our legitimate interests in operating our business and responding to enquiries, and, where applicable, taking steps at your request before entering into a commercial relationship or contract.

b. To operate, maintain and secure our website

We use technical data to administer, protect and improve our website and systems.

Lawful basis: 

Our legitimate interests in running a secure and effective website.

c. To maintain professional relationships and business records

We may use professional contact information to maintain records of business contacts, manage relationships and communicate in connection with our business activities.

Lawful basis: 

Our legitimate interests in managing and developing our professional relationships and business network.

d. To send direct marketing communications where legally permitted

We may use contact details to send business-related marketing communications, including updates, newsletters, insights, event invitations, announcements and information about our activities and services, but only where permitted by applicable law, including PECR and the UK GDPR.

Lawful basis:

Consent, where PECR requires consent for electronic marketing.

Legitimate interests, where electronic marketing is permitted without consent under PECR and where we have assessed that our interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. 

Direct marketing and email communications

We may send direct marketing by email to relevant professional contacts only where permitted under PECR and the UK GDPR.

This means:

• where the recipient is an individual subscriber, including a sole trader or certain partnerships, we will send electronic marketing only where we have valid consent or another PECR-compliant basis, such as the limited soft opt-in where it applies

• where the recipient is a corporate subscriber, we may send electronic marketing without PECR consent, but we will still comply with data protection law and honour objections and opt-out requests 

If you do not wish to receive marketing emails from us, you can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us using the details above.

We maintain suppression records where necessary to ensure that people and organisations who opt out are not contacted again in breach of their preferences.

We do not sell personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Who we share personal data with

We may share personal data with:

1. our professional advisers, where necessary

2. website hosting, IT support and website service providers

3. customer relationship management, communications and email distribution providers

4. regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts or other authorities where required by law or to protect our legal rights

Our website and related services currently involve the following third-party providers:

• Webflow, which is used to build and manage our website and may process personal data submitted through website forms 

• 123 Reg, which provides domain and related website services, where applicable

• Google Analytics 4, which we use, subject to consent, to understand website traffic and usage patterns

• Mailchimp, which we use for email distribution, mailing list management, segmentation, unsubscribe management and related email record storage

Where third-party service providers process personal data on our behalf, they do so under appropriate contractual controls.

International transfers

Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom.

In particular, personal data processed through Mailchimp may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where Mailchimp or its sub-processors operate.

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law. 

How long we retain personal data

We retain personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:

• respond to enquiries

• maintain business records

• comply with legal, regulatory and professional obligations

• resolve disputes and enforce our rights

• maintain suppression records so that we can respect opt-out requests

Enquiry data submitted through our “Contact Us” page will usually be retained for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and any related follow-up.

Professional contact and marketing data will generally be retained while there is an ongoing business relationship, while consent remains valid where consent is relied on, or while there is otherwise a reasonable expectation of relevant professional contact, and for a limited period afterwards, subject to any need to retain suppression records.

Analytics-related data will be retained in line with the settings configured within Google Analytics 4 and our internal review of what is reasonably necessary for website performance and reporting purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details set out above.

We will usually respond to rights requests within one month, although the law allows longer in some cases.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, which is the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters.
