We hold confidential information necessary for us to be able to provide services. This includes for example information for contact, delivery and billing. We provide a full description of that data and our safeguards in our contract with you.
For Suppliers
Pretty much the same stuff as above, except we’ll probably be receiving the services and invoices rather than providing them.
If you have special needs, like anonymity, we can do that. We have private encrypted email and data in Switzerland if that’s a service you need
WHERE AND WHEN WE COLLECT YOUR DATA
When visiting our website we collect basic contact information which you submit using our on-line forms. This is used to be able to respond to information request about products or services. One of the tools we use is mailchimp [web mailchimp.com/]. If you do subscribe to any services you can also unsubscribe.

Some customers connect with us via Social Media, in which case we will follow the “rules” of Social Media, which include giving you the option to unlike, unfollow, unfriend or disconnect (depending on whether you are using LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram or something else)
Our services include Business Analysis, Projects, Processes, Programmes, Coaching and Mentoring. In the course of a customer contract we may hold data about people including project participants and stakeholders. You can decide what we should see (or not) as part of our engagement.
For some engagements the Client/Customer may choose to provide us with a laptop, phone, secure-folder, cloud-drive or other combination of tools to ensure that Client/Customer data stays under the control of the Client/Customer with access controlled by the relevant people, policy, procedures and technology.
This is recommended as a robust approach to commercial confidentiality and data-protection.
Generally during the period of the engagement the Client/Customer will be the “controller” and we will be the “processor” for any data that falls into the scope of the project. As such it will fall to the Client/Customer to define their requirements, in the absence of which we will act with appropriate due diligence with regard to commercial confidentiality and data-protection.
Where necessary we can provide a full description of that data and our safeguards in our contract with you.

WHAT PURPOSES USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR
We need to know information about you to be able to provide services (which include Business Analysis, Projects, Processes, Programmes) and only use personal-data where there is a legitimate interest in doing so. In most cases beyond early introductions or information requests we will agree a contract which sets out the terms by which we will work, including data protection.
We rarely do direct marketing. If we ever do decide to do newsletters, mailings or anything like that we will seek your consent. This means you will be invited to opt-in, but you can opt-out. This may be as simple as sending an email, or we might use a subscribe / unsubscribe form.

Legitimate interests
The processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by the third party or parties to whom the data are disclosed. For example we monitor technology for the purposes of security, which is a legitimate business need. Generally (unless otherwise specified on contract or agreement) the legal basis for processing data is legitimate interests since data is necessary for the purposes of providing information, products and services.
