This storage and use of your personal information allows you to be contacted about consultancy projects which we think will be of interest to you, now or in the future, and we do not believe that this storage and use will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.

Where you are engaged to provide consultancy work for one of our clients we will store and use your personal information for the purposes of completing and administering contracts with you or your company and for processing payment to you or such company in respect of services your consultancy have performed. Such processing will be for our legitimate interests so that we can ensure that you are paid for your services. We do not believe that this storage and use of your personal information will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.

Such processing will also be necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party (i.e. your contract with us or the company with whom you work to provide consultancy services) and/or in order to take steps prior to you entering into such contract, including contracts we enter into with the client relating to your consultancy services.

  • provide you with details of our consultancy services and our consultancy network;
  • maintain our business relationship with you; and
  • where we need to share your contact details with consultants within our network who are providing consultancy services to you.

This allows you to be contacted and to receive any consultancy work which you or your organisation have requested.

We do not believe that this storage and use of your personal information will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.

All users of the Site and our Services

We collect, store and use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • to make our website and any client-related site available to you; and
