Introduction

We gather and use certain information about individuals in order to provide products and services and to enable certain functions on this website.

We also collect information to better understand how visitors use this website and to present timely, relevant information to them.

During the course of our activities, we will process personal data (which may be held on paper, electronically, or otherwise) about our customers/subscribers, and we recognise the need to treat it in an appropriate and lawful manner, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The purpose of this policy is to make you aware of how we will handle your personal data.

Data Technology and rules change regularly, so we do reserve the right to amend it at any time.

We will comply with the seven data protection principles in the GDPR, which say that personal data must be:

  1. Processed fairly and lawfully.
  2. Processed for limited purposes and in an appropriate way.
  3. Adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purpose.
  4. Accurate.
  5. Not kept longer than necessary for the purpose. (We will review data we have every 3 years).
  6. Processed in line with individuals’ rights.
  7. Be kept secure.

“Personal data” means recorded information we hold about you from which you can be identified. It may include your contact details, other personal information, photographs, expressions of opinion about you or indications as to our intentions about you. “Processing” means doing anything with the data, such as accessing, disclosing, destroying or using the data in any way.

What Data We Gather

Our website has e-mail links and a live chat facility. These features facilitate the capture of personal information such as your first name, last name, company, email address and job title. Through the use of these features you may also provide additional personal information that would aid us in providing a service.

We may collect the following information:

  • Name and Job Title.
  • Contact information including email address.
  • Your enquiry/message.
  • Demographic information, such as postcode.
  • Website usage data.
  • Other information relevant to client enquiries.
  • Other information pertaining to special offers and surveys.
  • Google Analytics.
  • IP address (this also helps us block repeated spam).

None of the features detailed above are automated and personal information is not captured unless expressly provided by the user.

How We Use the Data

We use this data to contact you about your enquiry. UK Business Mentoring Group use the personal information provided to us to respond directly to enquiries and liaise with clients. We may also use email addresses for internal marketing purposes. If you do not wish to receive UK Business Mentoring Group marketing simply drop us an email and we will remove you from our distribution list.

We also use data to track visitor use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity. These activities are complete with the goal of continually improving our website functionality and customer service.

Specifically, we may use data:

  • For our own internal records.
  • To improve the products and services we provide.
  • To contact you in response to a specific enquiry.
  • To customise the website for you.
  • To send you emails about offers, events and other activities we think might be relevant to you.

In other cases, processing may be necessary for the protection of your vital interests, for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interest of others.

  • Your personal data will only be processed to the extent that it is necessary for the specific purposes notified to you.
  • We will seek to keep the personal data we store about you accurate and up to date. Data that is inaccurate or out of date will be deleted. However, it is your obligation to keep us informed of any changes to your personal data, eg if you move house, or if you become aware of any inaccuracies in the personal data we hold about you. You may do this by sending an email as indicated in section six.
  • We will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose. This means that data will be destroyed or erased from our systems when it is no longer required, which is typically two years from your last interaction with us, by email, website or other means.

We will ensure that appropriate measures are taken against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, personal data.

We will ensure that we have in place procedures and technologies to maintain the security of all personal data from the point of collection to the point of deletion.
