Our lawful basis for using your information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:
Contract or steps before entering into a contract - where you contact us about potentially working together or we need your information to provide services to you.
Legitimate interests - where it is reasonably necessary to operate and develop the business, respond to enquiries, manage business relationships, protect the website or improve our services, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests.

Contact forms
When you submit information through a form on this website, we collect the information you provide so that we can respond to your enquiry.
The website is hosted by Squarespace. Information submitted through website forms may therefore be processed by Squarespace in order to provide website and form functionality.
Submitting an enquiry does not automatically add you to a marketing mailing list.
Website hosting and analytics
This website is hosted by Squarespace.
Squarespace may process information about website visitors including browser and device information, IP addresses, pages visited and information about how visitors use the website. This information is used to provide, secure and operate the website.
Where non-essential analytics technologies are used, they will only be enabled where the appropriate consent has been obtained.
You can manage your cookie preferences using the cookie controls provided on the website.
Cookies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. Other cookies, including certain analytics cookies, may help us understand how visitors use the website.
Where required, non-essential cookies will only be used with your consent.
You can accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies through the website's cookie settings.
Further information about the cookies used on this website is available in our Cookie Policy.
Who we share information with
We may share personal information with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate the business or website.
These may include:
Squarespace, our website platform and hosting provider
email and IT service providers
professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where necessary
other service providers supporting the operation of the business
These organisations may only use personal information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and their contractual responsibilities.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
International transfers
Some service providers used by Beadsmoore Consulting may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that it receives an appropriate level of protection in accordance with UK data protection law.
For example, Squarespace may process data internationally and uses recognised legal safeguards for relevant international transfers.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
General enquiries that do not result in a business relationship will normally be retained for no longer than 24 months after our last contact, unless there is a legitimate reason to retain them for longer.
Where you become a client, relevant information may be retained for longer where necessary to manage our relationship and meet legal, contractual, accounting or regulatory requirements.
When information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law gives you rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to:
request access to the personal information we hold about you
ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances
ask us to restrict how your information is used
object to certain uses of your information
request transfer of your information in certain circumstances
withdraw consent where we rely on consent to process your information
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances.
To exercise any of these rights, contact carolyn@beadsmooreconsulting.co.uk.

If you have concerns about how your personal information has been used, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue.
You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.
