Clear handling of personal data

What Data We Collect and How We Use It

We collect only the information needed for a defined purpose. The source of the data determines how we use it.

Website and enquiry forms. When you send an enquiry, we may receive your name, work details, contact information and the contents of your message. We use these details to reply, assess your request and keep a record of the conversation.

Email correspondence. Messages sent to [email protected] may include information you choose to share. We use it to communicate with you, arrange meetings and provide relevant commentary or analysis.

Service engagements. If you appoint Lodge Analytics Ltd, we may process contact, billing and project information needed to agree terms, deliver the work and meet accounting obligations. We do not collect information that has no connection to the service.

Website improvement. Technical information such as browser type, approximate location, pages viewed and visit timing may be used to understand site performance. Analytics are configured to support site improvement rather than to identify individual visitors.

Contract

We use relevant information to prepare for, enter into and deliver an agreed service.

Legitimate interests

We may use business contact details to manage enquiries, records, security and the operation of this website.

Consent

Where consent is needed, we ask for it first. You can withdraw it at any time.

Control and protection

Your Rights and Our Security Practices

UK data protection law gives you practical control over information held about you. We handle requests carefully and keep access to personal data limited.

Your rights

Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Ask for erasure where the law allows it.
Ask us to restrict processing in specific circumstances.
Receive certain information in a portable format.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

Retention periods

Enquiry correspondence is normally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact. Engagement, tax and accounting records are kept for the period required by UK law. We securely remove or anonymise information when it is no longer needed.

Making a request

Contact us using the details below. We may ask for information that confirms your identity before responding. We aim to respond within one month, subject to the limits and extensions allowed by data protection law.

Security measures

We use access controls, strong account protections, software updates and secure transmission where appropriate. Information is shared only with people or providers who need it for a stated purpose.

Third-party processors

We may use carefully selected providers for website hosting, email, analytics, scheduling, accounting and technical support. They process information under written instructions and are expected to protect it. We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Some providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we use an adequacy decision or suitable safeguards required by UK data protection law. Details can be requested through the privacy contact below.

Privacy is part of the working relationship.

We keep the amount of personal data small, document why it is used and review access when circumstances change. No online transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive information unless it is necessary.

If you believe we have mishandled your information, contact us first so we can investigate. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
