Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Corporate Connect collects, uses, shares and protects personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and related UK data protection law.

1. Controller details

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Corporate Connect acts as data controller for personal data collected via this website and direct enquiries.

Contact: info@corporate-connect.co
Telephone: 0330 058 9556
Address: 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London W1W 5PF

2. Personal data we collect

• Identity and contact data (for example name, work email address, telephone number, company and role).
• Enquiry and correspondence data (messages, call notes, service interests).
• Technical and usage data (IP address, browser type, pages viewed, access time).
• Compliance-related data where necessary to perform due diligence and legal checks.

3. How we use personal data

• To respond to enquiries and provide requested information.
• To assess service suitability and manage business relationships.
• To comply with legal, regulatory, accounting and audit requirements.
• To improve website performance, security and user experience.
• To prevent fraud, misuse and unauthorised activity.

4. Lawful bases for processing

We process personal data on one or more of the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate interests (for example business development, service improvement and security).
• Contract (where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract).
• Legal obligation (where processing is required by applicable law or regulation).
• Consent (where required, for example certain cookies or direct marketing communications).

5. Role of Corporate Connect and partner providers

Corporate Connect may act as an introducer, coordinator or service delivery partner depending on the engagement. Where we introduce you to third-party providers, those providers may act as independent controllers for their own services and legal obligations.

Where this applies, the relevant provider's privacy documentation and contractual terms will govern their processing activities. We recommend reviewing those documents carefully before engagement.

6. Data sharing

We may share personal data with trusted service providers, professional advisers, regulated partners, and authorities where required by law. We require recipients to process personal data lawfully and securely. We do not sell personal data.

7. International transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we apply lawful transfer safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to standard contractual clauses, adequacy regulations, or other lawful mechanisms.

8. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, including legal, regulatory, tax, anti-fraud and dispute resolution requirements.

9. Your rights

Subject to legal conditions, you may request to:

• Access your personal data.
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Erase personal data.
• Restrict processing.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Receive personal data portability where applicable.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise rights, contact info@corporate-connect.co.

10. Complaints

If you have concerns about our data handling, please contact us first so we can investigate and resolve the issue. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk.
