5. Legitimate interests
Where we rely on legitimate interests, this means we use personal information in a way that is necessary for our business, provided your rights and interests do not override that use.
Our legitimate interests include:
- responding to enquiries;
- managing business relationships;
- assessing potential business opportunities;
- keeping appropriate records;
- protecting our website and systems;
- improving how we communicate and operate.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. See section 12 below.
6. Marketing communications
We may send you relevant business updates, event information or marketing communications where we have a lawful basis to do so.
You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time by contacting the Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
Where an email contains an unsubscribe link, you can also use that link to opt out.
We may keep a suppression record to make sure we do not contact you again for marketing purposes after you have opted out. That is not us being awkward; it is how we make sure your choice is respected.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may also be used to collect technical information about your visit.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. Others may be used for analytics, embedded content, advertising, social media tools or other non-essential purposes.
At the time this policy was prepared, the publicly visible website pages reviewed did not show a detailed cookie notice or cookie list. The website may still use essential cookies or similar technologies through its platform, hosting, security, spam prevention or contact form tools.
We may use the following types of cookies or similar technologies:
| Type | Purpose | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary cookies | To operate the website, provide security, remember essential settings and process contact form submissions | No, where genuinely necessary |
| Security and spam-prevention technologies | To protect the website and contact forms from abuse, spam or technical attacks | Usually no, where necessary and proportionate |
| Analytics cookies, if enabled | To understand how visitors use the website and improve it | Yes, unless configured in a privacy-preserving way that does not require consent |
| Embedded content cookies, if enabled | To display third-party content such as video, maps, social media or similar tools | Usually yes |
| Marketing cookies, if enabled | To measure or personalise advertising or marketing activity | Yes |
Where non-essential cookies are used, we should ask for your consent before setting them. You should be able to withdraw or change your consent.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.
Before publishing this policy, PGGI should run a fresh cookie scan and update this section with any named cookies actually found, including:
- cookie name;
- provider;
- purpose;
- duration;
- whether it is essential or non-essential.
8. Who we share personal information with
We may share personal information with trusted third parties where necessary, including:
- website hosting and maintenance providers;
- email, IT and cloud service providers;
- contact form, security and spam-prevention providers;
- professional advisers, including accountants, lawyers and consultants;
- banks, payment providers or accounting platforms, where relevant;
- business partners, investors, advisers or collaborators, where this is relevant to your enquiry or our work together;
- regulators, public authorities or law enforcement bodies where required by law.
Where third-party providers process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to protect it and use it only for the purposes we instruct.
9. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the UK.
Where this happens, we will take steps designed to ensure that personal information is appropriately protected. This may include relying on UK adequacy regulations or using appropriate contractual safeguards.
10. How long we keep personal information
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary.
As a guide:
| Type of information | Typical retention period |
|---|---|
| Contact form enquiries | Up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless the enquiry develops into an ongoing relationship |
| Business relationship records | Up to 7 years after the relationship ends, where needed for legal, tax, accounting or contractual reasons |
| Contracts, invoices and accounting records | Usually up to 7 years |
| Website technical logs | Usually kept for a shorter period, unless needed for security, troubleshooting or legal reasons |
| Marketing preferences and opt-out records | For as long as needed to honour your preferences |
| Records relating to disputes or legal claims | For as long as necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims |
We may keep information for longer where required by law, where there is a dispute, or where we need to protect our legal position.
11. How we protect personal information
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
These steps may include access controls, secure systems, appropriate supplier checks and limiting access to people who need the information.
No website, email system or online form is completely secure. Please take care when deciding what information to send online.
12. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- ask for a copy of your personal information;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- ask us to delete your personal information;
- ask us to restrict how we use your personal information;
- object to certain uses of your personal information;
- ask for your personal information to be transferred to another provider, where applicable;
- withdraw consent, where we rely on consent.
You have an absolute right to object to direct marketing.
You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. If you object, we will stop processing the relevant information unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue or need the information to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
To exercise your rights, please contact the Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
We may need to verify your identity before responding. We normally respond within one month. This may be extended where a request is complex or where we receive multiple requests.
13. Complaints
Please contact our Data Protection Officer first at [email protected] if you have concerns about how we use your personal information.
You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK regulator for data protection matters.
