Privacy Policy

I take your privacy seriously and aim to be clear about how any personal information you provide through this website is used.

Who I am

This website is operated by Richard Edgerton, CV Writing & Career Advice.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your personal information is handled, you can contact me at hello@richardedgerton.co.uk.

Information I collect

If you contact me through this website, I may collect the information you choose to provide, including:

your name;

• your name;
• your email address; and
• any information you include in your message.

If we subsequently work together, I may also receive information and documents you provide in connection with the service, such as your CV or other career-related information.

How I use your information

I use your personal information only where necessary to:

respond to your enquiry;

• discuss the services you are interested in;
• provide services you have asked me to provide;
• communicate with you about that work; and
• meet any legal or administrative obligations associated with providing those services.

I do not sell your personal information or use information submitted through the contact form for unrelated marketing.

Lawful basis for using your information

Where you contact me about my services or ask me to provide a service, I generally process your information because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you.

In some circumstances, I may process information where necessary for my legitimate interests in responding to enquiries, managing my services and maintaining appropriate business records, provided those interests do not override your rights.

I may also retain certain information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

How your information is stored and shared

This website is built and hosted using Brizy Cloud. Information submitted through the website contact form may therefore be processed and stored by Brizy as a service provider supporting the operation of the website.

I will only share personal information with other service providers where this is necessary to operate the website or provide the service, or where I am legally required to do so.

How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, providing services and meeting any legal, accounting or record-keeping requirements.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted or securely disposed of.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to ask for access to it, to have inaccurate information corrected, and in certain circumstances to ask for information to be erased or for its use to be restricted.

You may also have the right to object to certain uses of your personal information.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact hello@richardedgerton.co.uk.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, please contact me first so that I can try to resolve them.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the services I provide or applicable legal requirements. The latest version will always be published on this page.
