This is a template and must be reviewed by a qualified solicitor, and completed with Minetta Partners' specific details, before it is relied upon.
Who we are
Minetta Partners is a trading name of Minetta Capital Partners Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14102287), based in Liverpool, England. For the purposes of the UK GDPR, Minetta Capital Partners Ltd is the data controller for personal data described in this policy.
You can contact us about privacy or data protection by email at hello@minettapartners.com, which reaches the person responsible for data protection at Minetta Partners. Where the law requires it, we maintain registration with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
What data we collect
We collect only the data we need to respond to you and to run the website:
- Enquiry data. When you use our enquiry form or email us, we collect your name, company or organisation, email address and the content of your message. If you choose to include other details, we process those too.
- Analytics data. We collect information about how the website is used — such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type — through analytics tools. Where this is set through non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we rely on your consent. See our cookie policy for detail.
- Technical data. Our hosting and security infrastructure processes limited technical data (such as IP address and request logs) to keep the site available and secure.
We do not knowingly collect special category data through this website, and we do not ask for it in our enquiry form. Please do not send us sensitive personal information through the form.
How we use your data and our lawful basis
Under the UK GDPR we must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. We rely on the following:
- To respond to enquiries and discuss potential work — our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) in responding to people who contact us, and taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
- To provide services under contract where you become a client — performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
- For analytics and to improve the site — your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time.
- To keep the site secure and meet legal obligations — our legitimate interests and compliance with legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)).
We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not sell your personal data.
Sharing and processors
We do not sell personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers who process it on our behalf under a written contract, and only as needed to run our business. These may include our website hosting provider, our email provider, our contact-form delivery provider (FormSubmit, which forwards enquiry-form submissions to us by email), and — where enabled — an analytics or CRM provider.
Where a processor transfers data outside the UK, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or Addendum. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it, or to meet legal, accounting or reporting obligations. In practice, we keep enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and a reasonable period afterwards; client and contract records for as long as required by law and our accounting and tax obligations; and analytics data for no longer than necessary. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Your rights under the UK GDPR
You have the right to: be informed about how your data is used; request access to your data; request correction of inaccurate data; request erasure; restrict or object to processing; data portability; and to withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it. Where processing is based on our legitimate interests, you can object and we will stop unless we have compelling grounds to continue.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@minettapartners.com. We will respond within one month, as required by the UK GDPR. There is normally no charge, though we may charge a reasonable fee or decline a request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies are needed for the site to work; non-essential cookies, such as analytics, are set only with your consent under PECR. You can read the detail and manage your choices in our cookie policy.
Contact and complaints
If you have a question or concern about how we handle your data, please contact us first at hello@minettapartners.com so we can try to resolve it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk, by calling 0303 123 1113, or by writing to the ICO, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
