At MarketingControl, we value your trust. As a UK-based financial consulting firm, we’re committed to safeguarding your personal information with care and transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website or engage with our services.
What Information We Collect
We only gather what’s necessary:
- Basic Details: Name, email, and phone number if you fill out our contact form or reach out directly.
- Business Info: Company name or financial details you share when inquiring about our services.
- Usage Data: Anonymous stats about how you browse our site, collected via cookies (see our Cookie Policy for more).
We don’t ask for sensitive financial specifics like bank account numbers unless you’re a client and it’s part of our consulting process – even then, it’s handled securely.
How We Use Your Information
Your data helps us:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide tailored financial guidance.
- Improve our website and services based on how visitors use it.
- Send updates or offers if you’ve opted in (you can opt out anytime).
- Meet legal obligations under UK law.
We don’t use your info for anything beyond what’s needed to serve you or run our business.
Who We Share It With
Your data stays with us, except:
- Trusted third parties (e.g., analytics providers) who help us operate, with strict confidentiality rules.
- Authorities, if required by UK law.
We never sell your information or share it for unrelated purposes.
How We Protect It
We use robust security – encryption, firewalls, and regular checks – to keep your data safe. Only authorised staff can access it, and they’re trained to handle it responsibly.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you can:
- Ask to see, update, or delete your data.
- Restrict how we use it or object to certain processing.
- Request your info in a portable format.
To exercise these rights, just contact us. We’ll respond within 30 days, free of charge, unless your request is unusually complex.
How Long We Keep It
We hold your data only as long as needed – typically 12 months for inquiries unless you become a client, then it’s kept for the duration of our work plus any legal retention period (usually 6 years under UK rules). After that, it’s securely deleted.
