What data we collect through the website
We collect only the personal data you choose to give us:
- Contact and enquiry data - your name, email address, telephone number, organisation and any content you send us through our contact or enquiry forms or by email.
- Newsletter data - your name and email address if you subscribe to our newsletter or updates.
- Analytics data - this website does not currently use analytics or advertising cookies, so we do not collect analytics data about your visit. Your browser keeps one small setting to remember your cookie choice.
We do not collect special category data or financial account data through this website, and we do not ask for it. We are not a regulated financial firm and we do not provide financial advice; we do not seek or collect information about your investments, holdings or finances through this website.
Why we use it (purposes and lawful bases)
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to your enquiries and communications | Legitimate interests (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) - responding to business enquiries is a legitimate interest, or contract where an engagement follows |
| Sending our newsletter and marketing updates, where you have subscribed | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Keeping records of our communications | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Website analytics | Consent / legitimate interests |
Legitimate interests. Where we rely on legitimate interests, these are: running and developing our business, responding professionally to those who contact us, and keeping our business records. We have weighed these against your interests and rights and believe them to be fair.
Who we share it with
We share personal data only with:
- Service providers (processors) who handle data on our instructions: our email marketing/newsletter provider - MailerLite Limited (registered in Ireland) www.mailerlite.com, our accountant - Clarkwell & Co www.clarkwell.co.uk;
- Professional advisers (e.g. lawyers, accountants, auditors) where needed for advice or legal compliance;
- Authorities where the law requires or permits disclosure.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else’s marketing.
International transfers. Our email marketing provider hosts its data in Germany and the Netherlands and is compliant with EU data protection law.
Ethosic.co.uk is hosted in the UK.
How long we keep it
- Enquiry correspondence: 12 months if no engagement follows, or for the duration of the engagement plus 6 years;
- Newsletter subscription data: until you unsubscribe, plus 2 years of inactivity;
- Website analytics data: 26 months or as stated in the cookie notice.
Your rights
You have the right to: access your personal data; have inaccurate data rectified; have data erased in certain circumstances; restrict or object to processing (including objecting to processing based on legitimate interests); data portability for data you provided on the basis of consent or contract; and withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in every email).
