Where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, we have carried out a balancing test and are satisfied that our interests do not override your rights and freedoms. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests — see Section 9 for details.
We will only send you marketing emails if you have given us your explicit consent to do so, for example by signing up to our waitlist or opting in to our mailing list. We use Microsoft Outlook and HubSpot to manage and send marketing communications.
You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us at hello@pelagionmarketing.com. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew consent.
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with the following trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf, only for the purposes set out in this policy:
All third-party processors are required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection law. We will not share your data with any third party for their own marketing purposes.
Some of our third-party service providers are based outside the UK. Where your data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including the use of the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or equivalent standard contractual clauses, or transfers to countries recognised by the UK as providing an adequate level of protection.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Where data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised.
