If you have any questions or concerns about this notice, or our practices with regard to your personal information, please contact us at yoyoyip@markbeaumontonline.com.

When you visit markbeaumontonline.com (the "Website") or otherwise get in touch with us through it, we appreciate that you're trusting us with your personal information, and we take that seriously. This notice explains what we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over it.

1. What information do we collect?

In short: you give us some information directly (via our contact form), and some is collected automatically when you browse the site.

Information you give us directly. When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect your name, organisation, email address, phone number (optional), event date, format, audience size, sector, topic interest, how you heard about us, and any other details you choose to include.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, we may automatically collect certain information such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, referring URLs, and general information about how you use the site. This doesn't reveal your specific identity on its own, and is primarily used to keep the site secure and for internal analytics. We also collect information through cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy for details.

2. How do we use your information?

In short: to respond to your enquiry, keep the site secure, and understand how it's used — based on legitimate interest, consent, or legal obligation.

We use the information we collect to:

We rely on legitimate interest for responding to enquiries you've initiated, your consent for analytics cookies, and legal obligation where compliance requires it.

3. Will your information be shared with anyone?

In short: only as needed to run this site and respond to you, to comply with the law, or if the business itself changes hands.

We don't sell or rent your personal information. We may share it in these situations:

ServicePurpose
SMTP2GoDelivers the email generated when you submit our contact form.
Google AnalyticsProvides anonymised website usage statistics (with your consent).

We may also disclose information where legally required to (court orders, regulatory requests), where necessary to investigate suspected fraud or protect someone's safety, or in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of all or part of the business.

4. Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

In short: yes, for essential site function and, with consent, for analytics. See our Cookie Policy for the specifics.

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and, with your permission, to understand how it's used. Full detail on what we use and how to control it is in our Cookie Policy.

5. Is your information transferred internationally?

In short: some of our service providers may process data outside the UK/EEA, under appropriate safeguards.

Our service providers (SMTP2Go, Google Analytics) may process or store data on servers outside the UK/EEA, including in the United States. Where this happens, it's done under recognised data protection safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information stays protected in line with this notice and applicable law wherever it's processed.

6. How long do we keep your information?

In short: no longer than necessary, and never more than 1 year, unless the law requires otherwise.

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this notice, unless a longer period is required by law (for example, tax or accounting obligations). No purpose in this notice requires us to keep your personal information for longer than 1 year. When there's no ongoing legitimate need to process it, we delete or anonymise it, or, where immediate deletion isn't possible (e.g. information held in backups), we securely isolate it from further use until deletion is possible.

7. How do we keep your information safe?

In short: we use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, though no system is 100% secure.

We've put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect the personal information we process. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. Transmission of information to and from the Website is at your own risk.

8. What are your privacy rights?

In short: you can ask to see, correct, delete, or restrict use of your data, and complain to a regulator if you're not satisfied.

If you're in the UK, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. If you're in the European Economic Area, you can find your local supervisory authority here; in Switzerland, here.

9. Controls for Do-Not-Track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature you can enable to signal a preference not to be tracked online. As there's no finalised uniform standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals, we don't currently respond to them. If a standard is adopted that we're required to follow, we'll update this notice accordingly.

10. Do California residents have specific privacy rights?

Yes. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (the "Shine The Light" law) lets California residents request, once a year and free of charge, information about any categories of personal data we've disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes, and who we shared it with. To make such a request, contact us using the details below.

11. Do we make updates to this notice?

Yes — we'll update this notice as necessary, including to stay compliant with relevant law. Changes are reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically.

12. How can you contact us about this notice?

Email us at yoyoyip@markbeaumontonline.com with any questions or comments about this notice.

13. How can you review, update, or delete your data?

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email yoyoyip@markbeaumontonline.com. We'll respond within 30 days.

This is a working draft, adapted from the previous site's privacy notice to reflect what this rebuilt site actually does — it drops sections that no longer apply (order fulfilment, prize draws, targeted advertising, user accounts), since none of that exists here. The 1-year retention commitment carries over unchanged from the prior policy. Recommend a solicitor's review before this goes live, particularly if marketing emails, competitions, or e-commerce are added later — those would need their own sections back.
