Privacy Policy

What we collect and why

If you complete the contact form, we collect the information you choose to submit: your name, email address, company name, company stage, the problem or idea you describe, your desired outcome and your preferred engagement mode. We use this solely to understand your enquiry, respond to you and discuss whether we can help.

We also collect privacy-respecting aggregate analytics about how the website is used, such as page views and general usage patterns. This data does not identify you and is used only to maintain and improve the site.

We do not operate accounts or logins, we do not sell products or services through the website, and we do not run advertising or cross-site tracking.

Lawful bases

We rely on our legitimate interests to respond to enquiries you send us and to operate, secure and improve the website, including the use of aggregate analytics. Our interest is in running a professional consulting business and maintaining a functional site, balanced against your privacy.

Where consent is required, for example for any non-essential cookies or analytics under applicable rules, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Retention

We keep contact form submissions only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any resulting discussions, and for a reasonable period afterwards for our business records. If no engagement follows, we delete or anonymise the data once it is no longer needed.

Aggregate analytics data is retained only in non-identifying form and for no longer than necessary to understand site usage trends.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it for advertising.

We share data only with service providers acting as our processors who help us run the website and respond to you, namely our website hosting provider, our email provider and our analytics provider. These providers act on our instructions under appropriate contractual terms.

We may disclose data where required by law or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

International transfers

Our group operates across the United Kingdom, the European Union (Ireland) and the United Arab Emirates, so personal data may be accessed or processed in those locations.

Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we put in place appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses, so that the data continues to receive an equivalent level of protection.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access your personal data and to request its rectification or erasure, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability where relevant. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@ziqsy.com. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular the UK Information Commissioner's Office or the Irish Data Protection Commission.

Security and contact

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, and we limit access to those who need it.

For any question about this policy or about how we handle your data, contact us at info@ziqsy.com.
