Signals Beyond Borders, our monthly letter
If you register for Signals Beyond Borders, we collect your email address, your first name if you give it, the date you signed up and the page you signed up on. We use this only to send you our monthly letter. Our lawful basis is your consent, which you give by ticking the box on the form.
Your details are stored securely on our web host and are not shared with anyone else. When we begin sending the letter, we may use an email service provider to deliver it; if so, we will name it here. Every letter includes a way to unsubscribe, and you can also unsubscribe at any time by emailing us. We keep your details until you unsubscribe.
Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers who help us run the business, and only as far as needed. These include our email provider, our booking and calendar tools, our video-call platform for live sessions, Stripe for payments, and our accountant. Some of these providers may store data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to a booking: up to 12 months.
- Signals Beyond Borders subscribers: until you unsubscribe.
- Client and financial records: six years after the end of the tax year they relate to, as required for tax purposes.
- Coaching and session notes: no longer than two years after the programme ends, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access your information, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive a copy in a portable format. You can also withdraw consent to marketing at any time. To use any of these rights, email us at the address above. We will reply within one month.
