We take measures to make sure your personal data is safe and secure. We respect the UK data protection laws including the UK and EU GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, and this Privacy Notice tells you how we are complying with these. 

 

We need to tell you what we are collecting, why and what we are using your information (your personal data) for. This is what this page is for. 

 

Who has responsibility for data?

​

We are required to tell you who is the ‘Controller’ of the personal data and all other information collected. The Controller is the company, Thought Leadership PR Limited (the registered address is 63-66 Hatton Garden, Fifth Floor, Suite 23, London, EC2N 1HN).

We are also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (registration number ZB310340).

 

What do we collect about you and why?

 

If you subscribe to our newsletter, this will ask you for your contact details. Generally, we collect your email address, first and last names and sometimes, your occupation or your role as to whether you are looking for speaking opportunities or looking for speakers. We may also collect contact details if you email or call us, together with details of your enquiry or call.

 

Should we charge for our newsletter in the future, we may also ask for payment information.

 

Also, when you use our website, information will be collected about your visit, through the use of Cookies. You can find out more about how Cookies work easily by researching the internet.

 

Or, if you leave a comment on our social media (either on the posts of Thought Leadership PR or Speaker Callout) or upload a picture and if this is your image, this will be visible to the public.

 

What allows us to collect this (or the legal bases)?

 

The data protection laws require us to have a legal basis (sometimes called a lawful basis or reasons) to process your personal data.

 

Providing your name and contact details for when you contact us directly or sign up to our newsletter means that you are providing this with your Consent. Consent will also apply when you provide your name and contact details for any occasional offers or competitions that we may hold.

 

Unless we have agreed to work together and put a contract in place with you, you can tell us that you no longer wish us to contact you or you wish to ‘unsubscribe’ at any time by emailing us at info@speakercallout.com

  

We have a Legitimate Interest in collecting contact information and your role (speaker Vs event organiser) as we cannot operate or develop the business without this. We will tell you if there is any additional information that we need to collect. 

 

We also have a Legal Obligation to keep any financial information for HMRC and financial regulations – should we start to charge for our services in future.

 

Storing and keeping your information

 

Keeping your personal data and your business information safe and secure is important to us. All of the devices we use are protected and have passwords or passcodes. All electronic systems and databases that we use have unique logins and passwords.

 

Wherever possible we will store information and your personal data in the UK, however, some service providers that provide software that we use, may use storage facilities elsewhere including the USA and countries outside the UK/ EEA. We will ensure that contracts and licences are in place for any service providers that we use, and we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that they can safeguard your personal data.

 

We use SSL/https throughout our websites as this encrypts our user communications so personal data is not captured without authorisation.

 

In general, we will keep your personal data and business information for the length of time required by law, for example financial records must be kept for 6 years, otherwise it will be kept for 18 months after we stop working together.

 

If you have consented to allow use to use your personal data for contacting you, it will be kept until you inform us that you no longer wish to receive these. When we no longer need to keep any of this information, we will ensure that all appropriate steps are taken to dispose of it securely.

 

Will we share your information?

 

As a service provider, we rely on independent contractors or external agencies working with us. We may share your personal data and other related information with those who carry out work required for us to deliver our service. We will ensure that all employees, independent contractors or external agencies follow our Data Protection Policy and undertake the necessary steps to protect your personal data.

  

We may share information about you with suppliers that assist us with our marketing efforts (e.g. by providing tools for identifying a specific marketing target group or improving our marketing campaigns), or analytics providers).

  

Embedded content

Content on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

You also have a right to restrict our processing of your personal data or object to certain processing (e.g. for marketing), and you have a right to request data portability (an electronic copy of your personal data). Nowadays, you are not generally required to pay a fee for exercising your rights. We will always tell you if we can comply with your rights and if we cannot, we will tell you why.
