What information we collect
The information we collect about you depends on how you interact with us. It may include:
- Contact details – such as your name, email address, telephone number and organisation when you contact us.
- Information about your enquiry – such as the nature of your request, your goals and any background information you choose to share.
- Service information – if you become a client, we may collect additional information needed to deliver our services and manage our relationship with you.
- Website usage data – basic information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit. We aim to use minimal cookies and analytics. Details will be added here if this changes.
We do not routinely collect special category data (for example health information) unless it is directly relevant to your enquiry and you choose to share it with us. Where this is the case, we will handle it with extra care and only keep it for as long as necessary.
How we use your information
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
- To respond to your enquiries and provide information about our services.
- To deliver speaking, consultancy, coaching or board services that you have requested.
- To manage our relationship with you, including invoicing and administration.
- To improve our services and website, based on feedback and anonymised usage patterns.
- To meet our legal and regulatory obligations.
We will not sell your personal information to third parties.
Our legal basis for using your information
Under data protection law, we must have a legal basis for using your personal information. Depending on the situation, we may rely on:
- Legitimate interests – for example, answering your enquiry or managing our business relationship with you.
- Contract – where we need to process your information to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
- Legal obligation – where we must keep certain records to comply with the law.
- Consent – for example, if we ever send you optional updates or newsletters and ask for your permission first. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Who we share your information with
We limit who we share your information with. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us run our business (for example, IT support or accountancy services) under appropriate confidentiality and data protection agreements.
- Professional partners where we work together on a project and you have agreed to this.
- Regulators or authorities where we are legally required to do so.
We will not share more information than is necessary and we will not sell your personal data.
How long we keep your information
We keep your personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, and to meet any legal or reporting requirements.
In general:
- Basic enquiry information may be kept for a limited period so we can refer back if you contact us again.
- Client records may be kept for a longer period (for example up to six years) to meet legal and tax requirements.
When information is no longer needed, we will delete it securely.
