Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Si Cruse Consulting Ltd("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and safeguard information when you visit our website.

Si Cruse Consulting Ltd is a company registered in England & Wales under company number 17373041, with its registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. We are the data controller in respect of the personal data described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact Information: When you submit our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address, any company name you provide, and the content of your message.
• Technical Information: Our server records the IP address associated with contact form submissions. This is used solely to apply rate limiting and prevent abuse.
• Usage Data: We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service, to collect anonymous usage data such as page views, referral sources and general geographic region. This data is aggregate and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.
• Cookies: Our website does not use cookies. Our analytics provider (Plausible) is cookie-free and does not track individual visitors across sites.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your enquiries and provide consulting services
• Protect our website against automated abuse
• Improve our website and user experience
• Comply with legal obligations

Lawful Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases for processing your personal data:

• Legitimate interests: responding to enquiries you initiate, protecting our website from abuse, and understanding aggregate website usage.
• Performance of a contract: where we are engaged to provide consulting services to you or your organisation.
• Legal obligation: where retention or disclosure is required by law.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Plausible is a privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics service that:

• Does not use cookies or track visitors across websites
• Does not collect personal data or personally identifiable information
• Collects only aggregate data: page views, referral sources, browser type and general location
• Operates without requiring consent under PECR, as no information is stored on or retrieved from your device

Data Sharing and International Transfers

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal data to third parties. We share information only when required by law, to protect our rights, or with service providers who process data on our behalf under appropriate contractual safeguards.

Some of our service providers — including our email delivery and analytics providers, and our hosting provider — may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on UK adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. Contact information from correspondence is retained for the duration of our business relationship and a reasonable period thereafter. Rate-limiting records containing IP addresses are held only transiently and are not stored permanently.

• Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances
