Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Salvin Associates respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.
This Privacy Notice explains what information we collect, how we use it, how long we keep it and your rights in relation to your personal information.
Who we are
Salvin Associates provides strategy and commercial leadership consultancy services to organisations in the UK and internationally.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, Salvin Associates is responsible for the personal information we collect and use.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or how we handle your information, please contact:

Information we collect
We may collect personal information when you contact us, work with us or use our website.
This may include:
your name;
your email address and other contact details you choose to provide;
your company, job title or other professional information;
information included in enquiries, correspondence or project discussions;
information required to manage a client relationship or deliver our services; and
technical information about how you use our website, such as your IP address, browser, device and website activity.
Our website contact form asks for your name, email address and message.
How we use your information
We may use your personal information to:
respond to enquiries and arrange initial discussions;
provide our consultancy services;
communicate with clients and prospective clients;
manage projects and client relationships;
administer our business and maintain appropriate records;
meet legal, regulatory, accounting or professional obligations;
maintain the security and performance of our website and systems; and
understand how our website is being used and improve it.
We only use personal information where we have a lawful reason to do so.
Depending on the circumstances, this may be because:
it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
it is necessary to perform a contract with you;
we have a legitimate business interest in responding to enquiries, managing our business and improving our services; or
we need to comply with a legal obligation.
Website analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited and how people find the site.
Analytics information helps us understand website performance and improve the experience for visitors.
Our website may also use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security and analytics purposes.
Where consent is required for the use of cookies or similar technologies, we will ask for it before those technologies are used. You can also control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, the cookie controls provided on our website.
Contact forms and enquiries
When you contact Salvin Associates through our website, by email or through another communication channel, we use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, discuss or provide our services.
Please do not include sensitive or confidential personal information in a website enquiry unless it is necessary for your request.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share personal information with trusted third parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business or provide our services. These may include:
website hosting and IT service providers;
email and communications providers;
website analytics providers;
professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers; and
other suppliers or service providers involved in delivering services to our clients.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to protect that information and use it only for the purpose for which it has been provided.
International data transfers
Some of the technology and service providers we use may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that it receives a level of protection consistent with UK data protection requirements.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Information relating to a client project will generally be retained for up to 24 months following completion of the project, unless there is a legitimate or legal reason for retaining it for longer.
Some records may need to be kept for longer to meet legal, tax, accounting, insurance or other professional obligations.
Information relating to an enquiry that does not result in a client relationship will be deleted when it is no longer reasonably required.
Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:
ask for access to the personal information we hold about you;
ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances;
ask us to restrict how we use your information in certain circumstances;
object to certain uses of your personal information;
receive certain personal information in a portable format where applicable; and
withdraw consent where we rely on consent to use your information.
These rights do not apply in every circumstance and may be subject to legal exceptions.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact info@salvinassociates.com.

Data breaches
We take appropriate steps to prevent personal data breaches.
If a breach occurs, we will assess the circumstances and take appropriate action. Where required by law, this may include notifying the Information Commissioner's Office and informing affected individuals.
