PrivacyPolicy

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Identity & Contact Data: Name, email address, phone number, and company name submitted through our contact or project-enquiry forms.
• Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on pages — collected automatically when you use our website.
• Communication Data: Messages and attachments you send us via email or contact forms.
• Cookie Data: Preferences and analytics data captured through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 04).

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Responding to project enquiries and contact form submissions
• Providing, maintaining, and improving our website and services
• Sending updates, newsletters, or promotional materials — only where you have opted in
• Analysing website traffic and user behaviour to enhance the user experience
• Complying with legal obligations and resolving disputes

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason compatible with the original purpose.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors (hosting, email delivery, analytics) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Authorities: Government bodies or law-enforcement agencies when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is subject to a different privacy policy.

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users, improve your browsing experience, and analyse site traffic. Cookies we may use include:

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Contact and enquiry data is typically retained for up to 3 years from the date of last contact. Analytics and cookie data is retained in accordance with the terms of the relevant analytics provider (ordinarily 26 months for Google Analytics).

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption on all pages
• Server-side input validation and parameterised queries to prevent injection attacks
• Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Regular security reviews of our systems and processes

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: Request deletion of your data where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue processing it.
• Restriction: Ask us to suspend processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Portability: Receive a structured, machine-readable copy of the data you provided to us.
• Objection: Object to processing based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
• Withdrawal of Consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@askconsultant.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Our website may contain links to external websites or services operated by third parties. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those sites and are not responsible for their privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.
