Privacy Policy

This privacy policy sets out how Strategy Plus uses and protects any information given by you when using our website www.strategy-plus.net.

  • Name and job title
  • Contact information including email address
  • Website address
  • Reasons for enquiry
  • Other information relevant to customer surveys and/or offers

What we do with the information

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

  • Answer enquiries
  • Review your Social Media activity, Website or SEO when you request it after filling the forms on our website
  • Improve our online marketing services
  • Send you information which we think you may find interesting, if you signed up for our monthly newsletter
  • We may also use your email address, if you signed up for our monthly newsletter, to contact you for market research purposes

Where we hold the information

We download and process the information we receive from you to provide you with a better service. Whilst we do download your information, we only hold it on our computers for a maximum of 30 days, following which, we delete all data from our devices and permanently from our recycle bin. We upload the information for record and use on the following software:

  • Google Drive
  • Xero
  • Apptivo
  • GoCardless
  • Monkey Tree
  • Mailchimp

Once we upload the information on the list of software above your information is protected under their Data Processing, Security and Privacy Terms. You can find more information on their DPA and Security terms below:

Third parties, (in our case Inform Accounting), have access to two of our software: Xero and GoCardless, and can therefore access some of the information our clients share with us. Inform Accounting will not download any of your data on their devices and your information will remain confidential.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We have put in place suitable physical and electronic measures to secure and safely keep the information we collect from you online.

How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. After you agree, the file is added, helping to analyse web traffic or letting you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. Cookies gather and remember information about your preferences, tailoring your online experience using your likes and dislikes.

We use cookies to analyse the data on our site and see which pages are being used. This helps us to improve our website. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us have a better website, by monitoring what you find useful and what you don’t. A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Some browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your settings to decline cookies if you so wish. This may prevent you from having the best possible experience on our website.

Links to other websites

We might link to other websites that we find interesting or that we might find useful. However, once you click on these links to leave our site, you accept any consequent risk, as we have no control over other websites. We are not responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting sites that are not our own, as such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.

Controlling your personal information

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless you requested it, and we therefore have your permission, or we are required by law to do so.

We will give you all information we hold about you if you so wish under the Data Protection Act 1998. A small fee will be payable. If you would like a copy of the information we hold on you please write to info@strategy-plus.net.

If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please email us or call us at 0121 638 0457 as soon as possible. We will correct any information found to be incorrect as soon as possible.

Strategy Plus can change this privacy policy at any time by updating this page. You should check this page regularly to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy is effective from 04/04/2018.
