We collect personal data in the following ways:
Information you provide directly
When you interact with us, you may provide personal data such as your name, email address, telephone number, company name, and job title. This typically occurs when you complete website forms, download materials, subscribe to communications, or contact us directly. If you become a client, we may also collect contractual, billing, and engagement-related information.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical and usage information. This may include IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, referring URLs, pages viewed, and interactions with the site. This information helps us understand how our website is used and how we can improve it.
Information from third parties
We may receive limited personal data from third parties such as analytics providers or lawful lead-generation sources (for example, event organisers or professional referrals), where permitted by law. Our services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under UK GDPR. The main purposes for which we use your data include operating and securing our website, responding to enquiries, providing professional services, improving our website and communications, sending marketing communications where permitted, and meeting legal or regulatory obligations.
Where processing is necessary to respond to enquiries or take steps prior to entering into a contract, we rely on legitimate interests or pre-contractual necessity. Where processing is required to deliver contracted services, we rely on contractual necessity and legal obligations. Website analytics and non-essential cookies are used only with your consent. Marketing communications are sent based on consent or legitimate interests where permitted under applicable UK marketing laws, and you may opt out at any time. If we rely on your consent, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure it functions properly and, with your consent, to analyse website performance.
Strictly necessary cookies are required for website operation, security, and accessibility and cannot be disabled. With your consent, we also use analytics cookies, including Google Analytics 4, to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve content and performance.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using our cookie banner or by adjusting your browser settings. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of the website.
We do not sell personal data. We may share personal data only where necessary and appropriate, including with trusted service providers who support our operations, such as website hosting providers, analytics services, CRM systems, email delivery services, and IT or security providers. These providers act on our instructions and are subject to contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations.
We may also share data with professional advisers, such as legal or financial advisers, or with regulatory authorities where required by law. In the event of a merger, reorganisation, or transfer of our activities, personal data may be shared with relevant parties, and we will notify you where legally required.
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or other lawful mechanisms permitted under UK GDPR. Further information about these safeguards is available upon request.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements.
Website enquiries are generally retained for up to 24months from the last interaction. Prospective client records may be retained for up to 36 months from the last meaningful contact. Client contractual and billing records are typically retained for six years following the end of the contractual relationship. Marketing data is retained until you unsubscribe or until we identify prolonged inactivity. Security and system logs are usually retained for up to 12 months.
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Under UK GDPR, you have rights in relation to your personal data. These include the right to access your data, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, request erasure in certain circumstances, restrict or object to processing, and request data portability where applicable. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@corporatesandprofessionals.co.uk. We aim to respond within one month, although this period may be extended for complex requests. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, least-privilege permissions, regular system updates, and supplier due diligence. While we take security seriously, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and you should take care when transmitting information over the internet.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal data.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, regulation, or our practices. Any material changes willbe highlighted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
