Privacy Notice

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Simon Watson Advisory Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17065262), whose registered office is at 17 Grove Road, Chingford, London E4 9SX, United Kingdom.

Simon Watson Advisory Limited is the data controller for the personal information collected through this website.

You can contact us by email or telephone using the details on our enquiry page.

2. What information we collect

When you submit an enquiry through this website, we collect your name, your email address, your company name (if provided), and the content of your message or enquiry.

We may also receive technical information that is automatically collected by the platform hosting this website (see section 6 below).

3. Why we use your information and our lawful basis

We use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and to communicate with you about the services you have asked about.

The lawful basis we rely on is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). Our legitimate interest is in responding to genuine business enquiries submitted through this website. We have considered whether this interest is overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, and we do not consider that it is, given that you have chosen to contact us and the processing is limited to handling your enquiry.

We do not use your enquiry details for marketing purposes without a separate instruction from you.

4. Who receives your information

Your enquiry details are received by Simon Watson, Director of Simon Watson Advisory Limited.

This website is hosted and the enquiry form is processed by GoDaddy, which acts as a data processor on our behalf. GoDaddy processes data in accordance with its own privacy documentation. We are not able to confirm from within this platform the precise locations in which GoDaddy processes or stores data, or the specific safeguards it applies to any international transfers. Owner action required: please review GoDaddy's data processing terms and confirm the applicable transfer safeguards before publishing this notice.

We do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for their own purposes.

5. How long we keep your information

We retain enquiry details for as long as is necessary to respond to your enquiry and to manage any follow-up correspondence. Owner action required: please confirm your actual retention practice so that a specific period or meaningful criteria can be stated here before publication.

6. Platform and technical data

This website is built and hosted on the GoDaddy Airo platform. GoDaddy may independently collect technical information such as IP addresses, browser type and usage data in connection with hosting and operating the platform. This processing is carried out by GoDaddy as an independent controller under its own privacy policy, not by Simon Watson Advisory Limited.

7. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, ask us to erase your information in certain circumstances, object to our processing where we rely on legitimate interests, ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances, and request that we transfer your information to another organisation in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at Simon@simonwatsonadvisory.com. We will respond within one month.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data. You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.

8. Is providing your information required?

You are not required to provide your personal information to use this website. However, if you choose to submit an enquiry, we require your name and email address in order to respond to you. You are not required to provide your company name or the content of your message, though doing so helps us respond more usefully.

9. Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in connection with the enquiries submitted through this website.

10. Changes to this notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. We encourage you to review it periodically.
