We may use your personal information to:
-
Respond to enquiries and requests.
-
Discuss, prepare and provide consultancy services.
-
Manage client relationships and maintain accurate project records.

Prepare proposals, contracts and invoices.

Communicate with you about ongoing work.

Our lawful basis
Depending on the circumstances, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:
-
Contract: where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to provide services under a contract.
-
Legal obligation: where we must process or retain information to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, such as accounting or tax obligations.
-
Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as managing client relationships, maintaining business records, improving our services, protecting our systems and contacting relevant business prospects, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
-
Consent: where we ask for your consent, such as in circumstances where consent is required for call recording, cookies or certain marketing communications.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the purpose of the processing, whether it is necessary and whether it may unfairly affect you.
You can object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time.
Direct marketing
We may contact relevant business contacts about our services. The rules that apply depend on the type of organisation and communication method. We will comply with applicable data protection and electronic-marketing laws, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), and will provide a clear way to opt out of further marketing communications.
We may identify potential business contacts using publicly available professional information, including LinkedIn, and business-information services such as Apollo. We will only use this information where we have a lawful basis to do so and where the relevant marketing rules permit us to make contact.
You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time by contacting us at hello@pro-visiongrowth.com or by using the unsubscribe option included in a marketing email. We will keep a record of your preference so that we do not contact you again for marketing purposes.
The ICO distinguishes between corporate subscribers, such as limited companies, and individual subscribers, which can include sole traders and some partnerships. The marketing rules can differ between them, particularly for email and other electronic communications.
Who we share your information with
We may share personal information with trusted service providers that process information on our behalf, including:
-
HubSpot, which we use for customer relationship management and record keeping.
-
Fathom, which we use for call recording and transcription.
-
Professional advisers, such as accountants, solicitors or insurers, where necessary.
-
Public authorities, regulators or law-enforcement bodies where we are legally required to do so.
We do not sell your personal information.
Our service providers may process information outside the UK, including in the United States. Before using a provider, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that any restricted international transfer is made using a lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards. Depending on the provider and the circumstances, this may include the UK–US Data Bridge, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice.
Our usual retention periods are:
-
Enquiries that do not become client work: up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact.
-
Prospective-client information: up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact, unless there is a legitimate reason to retain it for longer or you ask us to remove it.
-
Client records: for the duration of the relationship and, generally, for up to six years afterwards where needed for accounting, legal, contractual or dispute-resolution purposes.
-
Call recordings and transcripts: for 24 months, unless a longer period is reasonably required for a legal, contractual or business purpose.
-
Marketing suppression records: for as long as necessary to ensure that we do not contact you again when you have opted out.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, legal requirements and the circumstances of the relationship.
