You should read this notice together with any other privacy notices we may provide on specific occasions.

Third-Party Links

Personal data means information about an individual from which they can be identified. We may collect, use, store, and transfer the following kinds of personal data:

  • Identity Data: First name, last name
  • Contact Data: Email address

We do not collect any special category data (e.g. health, religion, ethnicity) or any information about criminal convictions or offences.

If you fail to provide certain data required by law or under contract, we may be unable to perform the services or contract with you. We will notify you if this is the case.

4. How we collect your personal data

  • Direct Interactions: You provide data by filling in forms or corresponding with us by phone, email, or otherwise (e.g. signing up to our newsletter or enquiring about services).

5. How we use your personal data & lawful basis

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. The main lawful bases we rely on are:

  • Performance of a Contract: To provide the services you request.
  • Legitimate Interests: For our own commercial interests, as long as these do not override your rights and freedoms.
  • Legal Obligation: Where processing is required by applicable laws or regulations.
  • Consent: Where you have expressly given your consent (e.g. for marketing). You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us.

Marketing

If you have requested information, purchased services, or signed up for a newsletter, we may send you marketing communications. You can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us at hello@agensi.co.uk.

6. Who we share your personal data with

We may share your personal data with:

  • Internal Third Parties: Within Agensi, where necessary.
  • External Third Parties: Such as IT or system administration service providers, professional advisers (bankers, insurers, auditors), and regulatory or legal authorities when required by law.
  • Specific Service Providers: Google (analytics), Hotjar (website insights), etc.
  • Business Transactions: If we sell or merge parts of our business, your data may be transferred to new owners under the same privacy terms.

All third parties must treat your data lawfully and securely, in line with our instructions.

7. International transfers

If we transfer your personal data outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK Addendum to Standard Contractual Clauses or other relevant transfer mechanisms. You can contact us for more information on these safeguards.

8. Data security

We have implemented security measures to prevent data from being lost, disclosed or accessed unlawfully. Access is limited to those who have a genuine business need and they must process your personal data only on our instructions, under a duty of confidentiality.

We have procedures to manage any suspected data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator where legally required.

9. Data retention

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. By law, we generally retain basic information about our customers for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

We may anonymise your data (so it can no longer be associated with you) and use it indefinitely without further notice.

You have certain rights under data protection law, including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data;
  • Request correction of any inaccurate data;
  • Request erasure of your data when there is no lawful reason for its continued processing;
  • Object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
  • Request restriction of processing under certain circumstances;
  • Request data portability;
  • Withdraw consent at any time (where we rely on consent).

To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Contact at privacy@agensi.co.uk. You will not typically have to pay a fee, but we may charge if your request is repetitive or manifestly unfounded.

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at any time. Visit ico.org.uk for more information.
