Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. Our processing activities rely on the following legal grounds:

  • Consent: When you explicitly agree to us processing your data by submitting forms or providing information voluntarily
  • Contract: When processing is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations for consulting services you have engaged us to deliver
  • Legal obligation: When we must process data to comply with UK legal or regulatory requirements
  • Legitimate interests: When processing serves our legitimate business interests, provided these do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms

Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have comprehensive rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access

You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data along with information about how it is used.

Right to Rectification

You can request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, when you withdraw consent, or when you object to processing and no overriding legitimate grounds exist.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request limitation of how we process your data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest data accuracy or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You can request to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You can object to processing of your personal data when we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis, including objecting to direct marketing.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your data protection rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by two additional months, and we will inform you of any such extension.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure we do not disclose personal data to unauthorised parties.

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest where appropriate
  • Access controls limiting who can view and process personal data
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Staff training on data protection responsibilities

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach poses a high risk, we will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

We primarily process personal data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions recognising equivalent data protection standards.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements. Specific retention periods are outlined in our Privacy Policy.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with UK GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office:
