This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (the "Site"). Please read this policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

1. Data collection

We only collect personal data that you choose to provide to us directly. We do not track your browsing, and we do not use analytics tools.

• Personal identifiers: your name, email address, and any information you include when you contact us through our contact form or request your results from the Reality Check tool.

2. Purpose of data collection

We collect your data for the following purposes:

• Customer servicing: to respond to your enquiries and requests, and to send you the Reality Check results you asked for.
• Updates and marketing: where you have contacted us, to send you relevant updates or marketing communications about our services, where we have a lawful basis to do so (such as your consent or our legitimate interest). You can ask us to stop at any time by emailing us.
• Product improvement: to benchmark and enhance products and offerings like Consulting Services and Octagon Models using aggregated data.

3. Data sharing

When you submit one of our forms, the form data is transmitted and processed by Web3Forms, our form-handling provider, purely to deliver your message to us. Beyond this, we do not share personal data with third parties for direct marketing purposes. We reserve the right to share aggregated and anonymised data, which cannot be used to identify individuals, for benchmarking or other legitimate purposes.

5. Cookies

Our Site does not use cookies. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and we do not load third-party tracking tools. Because no cookies are set, there are no cookie preferences for you to manage on this Site.

6. Data security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Jurisdiction and compliance

As a UK-based organisation, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This privacy policy is governed by the laws of England and Wales.
