I take the protection of your privacy very seriously. I will only use your personal information to deliver the services you have requested from me and to meet my legal responsibilities. My registered office address is at 5 Brayford Square, LONDON E1 0SG

This policy describes how personal data is collected, used and stored to meet data protection standards and to comply with the law in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 or any other national implementing laws, regulations and secondary legislation, as amended or updated from time to time, in the UK (‘Data Protection Legislation’). 

I am committed to protecting your privacy. I may need to gather and use certain information and personal data about you when you sign up, register to subscribe, or enquire about my services. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable living person. When collecting and using personal data, my policy is to be transparent about why and how I process personal data. I will not sell or rent your information to any third parties for marketing purposes.

I am the ‘data controller’ and responsible for deciding how I hold and use personal data about you. I am required under Data Protection Legislation to notify you of the information contained in this privacy notice.

How I collect and use your personal information

I may obtain personal data about you when you sign up, register to subscribe, register for a special offer, or enquire about my services. This information can be obtained in a variety of ways, to include the following, but not limited to:

  • If you contact or meet with me in person
  • When you contact me via my website, by email, telephone, post or social media
  • From third parties and/or publicly available resources
  • When you visit my website, when I will collect certain digital data that may be identifiable to you
  • If I am contracted to provide you with my services, in which case appropriate countersigned agreements will be in place clarifying terms of the contract.

I will use your personal data for purposes necessary for the performance of our contract or in accordance with your enquiry.

I may process your personal data for certain additional purposes with your consent. In such events you have the right to withdraw your consent to processing for such specific purposes. In certain circumstances, if you refuse to provide me with certain information when requested, I may not be able to perform the services I am contracted to perform for you.

I may use the data and personal information collected for statistical purposes and data analysis, which will enable me to maintain and administer my website to provide better and more focused content and engagement. I may also use this information to recommend other websites, services and products to you.

The information I may hold

The personal information I collect from you will vary depending on the contract provided to you, and may include:

  • your personal details such as your name and address, title, marital status, date of birth, gender
  • contact details such as address, email address and telephone numbers
  • details of services you have received from me
  • transaction data, which includes details about payments to me
  • details of contact I have had with you such as correspondence and communications between us, including information about any complaints and enquiries you make to me.

Information I receive from other sources, such as publicly available information, and information provided by third parties.

I will not sell or share your data for use by any third parties without your consent, unless I have a legal responsibility to do so. As part of providing my services and depending on what you request or engage me to deliver, I may use your information to contact you by post, email or telephone to:

  • notify you of any variation to my services or contract
  • carry out my obligations arising from any agreements entered into between us
  • understand your needs and how they may be met
  • provide you with information related to my services that you request from me or which I feel may interest you, provided you have consented to be contacted for such purposes

Who has access to your information

Any contract workers with access to your information have a duty of confidentiality under the ethical standards of my company. I may pass your information to my third party service providers and other associated organisations for the purpose of completing tasks. Third party service providers are required to take commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your personal data. I will only permit third party service providers to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with my instructions.

I will share your personal data with third parties where I am required by law, where it is necessary to administer the relationship between us or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so. “Third parties” includes third-party service providers and other entities within my network and cloud services.

Please be aware that I will release your information where I am required to do so by law, for example, by a Court Order or for the purposes of prevention and detection of crime, fraud or corruption.

Transferring personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA)

I may transfer the personal data I collect to countries outside of the EEA in order to perform my contract with you, which may happen if one of my service providers is located in a country outside the EEA. If I do transfer your personal information outside the EEA, I will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA by use of specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

How I secure personal data

I have put in place commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. I have a secure network where all servers, firewalls and security applications are routinely updated. In addition, I limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on my instruction and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

I have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where I am legally required to do so.

Data retention

I will retain your data for as long as your subscription or enquiry is active. I do not have an automatic expiration date, but you may request deletion of your data at any time. I will stop sending any marketing or other direct communications if you opt out or specifically ask me to. You will need to re-subscribe should you wish to opt back in. It is important that the personal data I hold about you is accurate and current. Should your personal information change, please notify me of any changes of which I need to be aware by contacting me, using the contact details below.

Your rights in connection with personal data

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive details of the personal data I hold about you and to check that I am processing it lawfully.
  • Request correction of the personal data that I hold about you.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask me to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for me continuing holding it. You also have the right to ask me to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal data where I am relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this basis. You also have the right to object where I am processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask me to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or another data controller if the processing is based on consent, carried out by automated means and this is technically feasible.

Further information about these rights is available on the ICO website (www.ico.org.uk). If you want to exercise any of the above rights, please email me at [email protected].

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, I may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, I may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

I may need to request specific information from you to help me confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

Right to withdraw consent

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose (for example, in relation to direct marketing that you have indicated you would like to receive from me), you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please email me at [email protected] and state that you wish to withdraw your consent.

Once I have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, I will no longer process your personal information (personal data) for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless I have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

Changes to this Privacy Notice

Any changes I may make to our Privacy Notice in the future will be updated on my website.
