Confidentiality
Privacy Policy
Elder Marine is the controller of the personal information you share with us through this site. We treat every enquiry with discretion.
Information we collect
When you make an enquiry, we collect the name, email address and any optional phone number, preferred contact method, location or time zone, introduction, timeframe and message you choose to provide. We also collect the nature of your enquiry.
Why we use it
We use these details to respond to your enquiry, arrange a confidential conversation and, where appropriate, provide our advisory services. We do not use your details for a mailing list.
Lawful basis
We rely on our legitimate interests in responding to genuine enquiries and managing our advisory relationships, and on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Who receives it
We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers needed to operate the website and deliver email, acting on our instructions and subject to appropriate safeguards. We do not disclose your enquiry to other clients.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not proceed are deleted after 24 months. Where an engagement proceeds, relevant records may be kept for longer where necessary to provide services or meet legal obligations.
International transfers
Our services and providers may involve processing outside the UK. Where this happens, we use appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or approved contractual protections, as required by law.
Cookies
We use only essential cookies needed for the site to work, unless we tell you otherwise and seek any required consent before using optional cookies.
Your rights
You may request access to, rectification or erasure of your personal information, restriction of processing, object to processing, and request portability where applicable. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). To exercise your rights or ask about this policy, please contact us via our enquiry page.
