2) What personal data we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

3) Legal bases for processing (UK GDPR / GDPR)
We process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Contract (e.g., to deliver coaching you book) — UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)

  • Consent (e.g., publishing testimonials, optional marketing cookies, sending marketing emails where required) — Art. 6(1)(a)

  • Legal obligation (e.g., accounting/tax requirements) — Art. 6(1)(c)

4) Log files and website usage data
When you access our website, our servers may automatically record information such as:

  • Operating system, date/time stamps, clickstream data

  • Pages visited, number of visits, and the websites from which you accessed our site

​

Why we use this: to operate and secure our website, diagnose issues, prevent misuse, and understand performance.
Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).
We do not use this information to directly identify you, and we retain it only as long as necessary for security and operational purposes.


5) Contact forms and enquiries
If you contact us via a form, email, or similar channel, we process the information you provide (e.g., name, email address, message content). We may also record your IP address and the date/time of submission to help prevent misuse.


Why we use this: to respond to enquiries and manage our relationship with you.


Legal basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) and/or contract steps (Art. 6(1)(b)).


If we request additional optional information, we will only process it where appropriate and, where required, with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).

 

6) Bookings, registrations, downloads, and events

Why we use this: to provide the service you requested and administer bookings.


Legal basis: contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and, where applicable, consent for optional fields/marketing (Art. 6(1)(a)).


Third-party booking tools (if used): We may use providers such as [Calendly/Google Meet] to manage bookings/registrations. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies.

8) Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. Cookies can be session (expire when you close your browser) or persistent (remain until deleted or expired).


We may use cookies for:

  • Essential functionality (site security and core functions)

  • Analytics (understanding how visitors use the site)

  • Advertising / retargeting (showing relevant ads on platforms like Facebook/LinkedIn)

​​

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent for non-essential cookies via a cookie banner.


Managing cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. You can usually do this in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality.

 

9) Third-party links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies before submitting personal data.

 

10) Social sharing buttons
Our website may include social sharing buttons (e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook). To protect your privacy, these may not automatically transmit data to the social network unless you click them.

 

Legal basis: legitimate interests in promoting our services (Art. 6(1)(f)).

 

11) Facebook Pixel (Meta)
We may use Meta’s tracking technologies (e.g., Facebook Pixel) to understand ad effectiveness and show relevant ads to people who have visited our website. The data we see is typically aggregated; Meta may process data in accordance with its own policies.

 

You can manage your ad preferences in your Meta settings:

 

(If you use Meta tools, ensure your cookie banner captures the appropriate consent where required.)

 

12) LinkedIn Insight Tag / LinkedIn Ads
We may use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to:

  • measure ad performance

  • generate aggregated reports about audiences

  • enable retargeting (showing ads to website visitors on LinkedIn)

 

LinkedIn may collect data such as URL visited, referrer, IP address, device/browser characteristics, and timestamps. LinkedIn provides us aggregated reporting rather than direct identification.

 

You can manage LinkedIn advertising settings via your LinkedIn account privacy settings.

 

13) Google Analytics

 

We may use Google Analytics to analyse website usage and improve performance. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use the site.

 

Where available, we may use IP anonymisation features to reduce identifiability.

 

You can opt out via Google’s tools:

 

14) Google Tag Manager (GTM)

 

We may use Google Tag Manager to manage tracking and analytics tags on our website. GTM itself does not typically store personal data, but it may load third-party tags

 

(such as Google Analytics, LinkedIn, Meta) depending on your cookie preferences.

 

15) Google Meet (virtual sessions / webinars)

 

If you register for or attend coaching calls, webinars, or virtual events using Google Meet, certain registration and usage data may be processed by Zoom to provide the service.

 

Google Meet’s privacy information:

 

16) Who we share data with

 

We may share personal data with trusted service providers who help us run our business, such as:

  • website hosting / IT providers

  • analytics and advertising providers (e.g., Google, Meta, LinkedIn)

  • booking/registration providers (e.g., Calendly and Google Meet)

  • email/CRM tools (e.g., Mailerlite)

 

 

They are only permitted to process your personal data to provide services to us and must protect it.

 

17) International transfers

Some of our providers may process data outside the UK/EU (for example in the United States). Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections) to help ensure your data remains protected.

 

18) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and why we collected it.

 

19) Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. However, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

  • Access to your data

  • Rectification (correct inaccurate data)

  • Erasure (delete data in certain situations)

  • Restriction of processing

  • Objection to processing (including direct marketing)

  • Data portability (where applicable)

  • Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
