Legal basis
Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on legitimate interests for business-to-business research and professional outreach, on contract performance where we are engaged with you, on consent where you have opted in, and on legal obligation where retention or disclosure is required of us.
Sharing
We share personal data with service providers who support our operations under written data processing terms, and with clients only in the form agreed in the engagement. We do not sell personal data.
Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, or for as long as a legal or regulatory obligation requires. Records connected to a research programme are retained for the period required by our contractual and regulatory obligations.
International transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we use appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our processing of your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, write to privacy@consultancyresearchintl.com.
Opting out of contact
You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time by replying to any message from us or writing to privacy@consultancyresearchintl.com. We action removal requests promptly and record them so that contact is not resumed.
