Privacy notice

Draft for professional review. This page is a starting outline, not final legal wording. It must be reviewed and completed by a suitably qualified professional before the website goes live.

Who we are

This privacy notice explains how Businova uses personal information. Contact: [contact email].

[Confirm whether the business is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and add the registration number.]

What we collect through this website

If you use our enquiry form, your email app sends us the details you choose to include: your name, email address, telephone number (if given), the service you are interested in, your business, its stage, an approximate funding amount (if relevant), a description of the help you need and your preferred contact method.

The website itself does not store your enquiry, does not use a database and does not use analytics or advertising cookies. Fonts are stored on the website itself, so no information is sent to a font provider. [Update this if you add analytics, a form service or hosting that logs visitor data.]

How we use it

  • To reply to your enquiry and arrange a conversation.
  • If you become a client, to provide the services you have agreed to, including any identity and anti-money-laundering checks we are required to carry out.

We do not add you to marketing lists or sell your information.

Lawful basis

[To be confirmed by a professional — for example, steps taken at your request before entering a contract, legal obligations and legitimate interests.]

How long we keep it

[Set your retention periods, including any records you must keep for accounting, tax or anti-money-laundering purposes.]

Who we share it with

[List service providers, such as your email provider; HMRC and Companies House when filing on a client's behalf; and confirm that client information is only shared with a lender with the client's agreement.]

Your rights

You have rights over your personal information, including the right to ask for a copy, to ask us to correct or delete it, and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). [Complete with full rights wording.]
