We may collect and process the following types of personal information:
Contact information: your name, email address, telephone number, job title and organisation.
Enquiry information: details you provide when contacting us about our services, requesting a quotation or discussing a potential project.
Client information: information needed to deliver consultancy, media training, research or historical research services, including relevant professional details and project correspondence.
Research information: where relevant to a commissioned project, interview recordings, transcripts, interview notes, research correspondence and other information provided by participants or obtained from agreed research sources.
Website information: technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information and information about how you use our website, where collected through server logs, cookies or analytics tools. Technical and usage information may be collected by Squarespace when you visit the site, including analytics information where you have consented to it.
We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose for which it is being used.
Please do not send confidential, sensitive or personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry or project and we have agreed how it will be handled.
3. How we use your information and our lawful bases
We use personal information for the following purposes:
Responding to enquiries and discussing potential work - Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries.
Providing consultancy, media training and research services - Performing a contract, or taking steps at your request before entering into one.
Managing client relationships, payments and business records - Contractual necessity and, where applicable, compliance with legal obligations.
Managing and improving our website - Our legitimate interests, where appropriate, or your consent where required.
Sending marketing updates about our services or relevant activities - Consent where required by law, or another lawful basis where permitted. We do not currently operate a newsletter. If we introduce one, we will explain how personal information is used for newsletter subscriptions and provide an appropriate way to manage or withdraw marketing consent.
Conducting commissioned research and historical research - The lawful basis appropriate to the particular project and the information being processed.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, these may include managing our consultancy, responding to relevant business enquiries, maintaining professional relationships and improving our services. We consider the impact on individuals before relying on this basis.
Where a research project involves interviews, identifiable individuals, confidential material or sensitive personal information, we will consider the appropriate legal basis and any additional safeguards required. Further information may be provided in a project-specific privacy notice where necessary.
You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
4. Research, interviews and historical material
Research into women's cricket may involve interviews with players, coaches, administrators, journalists, historians and other individuals, as well as the use of archival documents and other historical sources.
Where we collect personal information as part of a research project, we will use it for the purposes explained to participants or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Depending on the project, this may include:
Arranging and conducting interviews.
Creating recordings, transcripts and research notes.
Analysing information and preparing reports, articles, presentations or other agreed outputs.
Sharing findings with the commissioning organisation or other agreed recipients.
Retaining research materials for an appropriate period where necessary for the project, accountability or historical research.
Where interviews are intended for publication or attribution, we will explain the relevant arrangements to participants. Any agreement about anonymity, confidentiality, attribution or use of quotations will be handled in accordance with the arrangements made for that project.
We will not assume that information shared with us in confidence can automatically be published or passed to a client. Where necessary, we will establish appropriate permissions and safeguards before using or sharing the material.
If a project involves special category personal data, such as information about health or other particularly sensitive matters, we will assess the additional legal requirements that apply.
5. Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share relevant information with:
Clients and commissioning organisations, where necessary to deliver an agreed project.
Website and IT service providers, such as hosting providers, email providers and website maintenance services.
Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, where necessary.
Public authorities or regulators, where we are legally required to disclose information.
We only share information where appropriate for the relevant purpose and take reasonable steps to ensure that it is handled securely.
If a research project requires information to be shared with additional organisations, this will be explained where appropriate as part of the project arrangements.
6. International transfers
Some of the service providers we use may store or process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable UK data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
Further information about relevant safeguards can be requested using the contact details in this policy.
7. How long we keep your information
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
Our approach is generally as follows:
General enquiries: retained for as long as necessary to respond and manage any follow-up, normally no longer than 12 months after the last meaningful contact if no work results.
Client and financial records: retained for the duration of the business relationship and for any additional period required by applicable legal or accounting obligations.
Research records: retained for the period necessary to complete the project and meet agreed contractual, research, accountability or historical preservation requirements.
Marketing information: retained until you unsubscribe or we determine that the information is no longer needed, subject to any necessary suppression records.
Website logs and analytics: retained according to the settings and retention periods of the relevant hosting or analytics service.
These are general guidelines rather than fixed deadlines for every record. We may retain information for longer where there is a legitimate and lawful reason, or delete it sooner where it is no longer required.
8. How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
These measures may include restricting access to information, using appropriate account security, keeping systems updated and taking care when storing or sharing research materials.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us.
