My lawful basis for using your information

UK data protection law requires me to have a lawful basis for using your personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, I may rely on:

Contract – where I need to use your information to provide services to you or take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legitimate interests – where it is reasonably necessary to run and develop Beldon Growth, including responding to business enquiries, managing client relationships and improving my business and website.

Legal obligation – where I need to keep or use information to comply with legal, accounting or tax requirements.

Consent – where you have given permission for a particular use of your information, including where consent is required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Where I rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Website analytics and cookies

I use Squarespace Analytics and Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use this website.

These services may provide information such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrived at the website, how long they spend on it, their approximate location and the type of device or browser they use.

I use this information to understand how the website is performing and identify ways to improve it.

I also use Google Search Console to understand how this website performs in Google search results.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for the website to work, while others are used for analytics.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will only be used in accordance with the choices you make through the website's cookie controls. You can change your cookie preferences through the cookie settings on the website.

For more information, please see my Cookie Policy.

Who I share your information with

I use trusted third-party services to help me operate this website and run my business.

These currently include:

  • Squarespace, which hosts this website and processes and stores information submitted through website forms

  • Google, through Google Analytics and Google Search Console, which I use to understand website and search performance

  • Email and other business service providers where necessary to communicate with you and run the business

These providers may process personal information on my behalf or in accordance with their own privacy policies.

I may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

International transfers

Some of the service providers I use may process or store personal information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, I rely on the safeguards or other transfer mechanisms provided for under UK data protection law, as applicable.

You can contact me at lucy@beldongrowth.co.uk if you would like more information about how your personal information is protected when transferred internationally.

How long I keep your information

I only keep personal information for as long as I reasonably need it.

How long I keep it will depend on why it was collected, whether we go on to work together and whether I need to retain records to meet legal, accounting or tax requirements.

Enquiries that don't result in an ongoing business relationship will be reviewed periodically and deleted when they are no longer needed.

Client, contractual and financial records may be kept for longer where necessary to meet legal and tax requirements.

You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests in certain circumstances.

If you'd like to exercise any of these rights, contact me at lucy@beldongrowth.co.uk.
