Information we collect and how we use it
When you submit an expression of interest, contact us or choose to stay in touch, we may collect information including your name, email address, information you choose to provide in your message, and your communication preferences.
We may use this information to:
- review and respond to expressions of interest and enquiries;
- communicate with you about potential consultations or engagements;
- send occasional news, insights or updates where you have chosen to receive them;
- operate and protect the website and our business; and
- meet applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
We process personal information only where we have an appropriate lawful basis to do so, including where necessary to respond to your request, where we have a legitimate business interest, where required by law, or where you have given consent.
Information you choose to share
The public website does not request detailed medical or health information. However, when submitting an expression of interest or contacting us, you may voluntarily choose to share information about your health or wellbeing.
Any such information will be treated as sensitive personal information and used only as necessary to review and respond to your enquiry, in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Please only provide information that you are comfortable sharing and that you consider relevant to your enquiry.
Detailed health and other personal information collected as part of a client engagement is handled separately as part of the client relationship.
Staying in touch
If you choose to receive communications from The DTK Method™, we may use your email address to send occasional news, insights and updates.
Submitting an expression of interest does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications.
Where required, you will be asked to actively opt in to receive these communications. You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting hello@thedtkmethod.com.
Sharing and protecting your information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may use trusted service providers to help operate our website and communications. Where they process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate data-protection arrangements are in place.
Some service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards will be used as required by applicable data-protection law.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we hold against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.
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, or as required to meet applicable legal, accounting or regulatory obligations.
Your rights
Under applicable data-protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including rights to access or correct your information, request deletion or restriction in certain circumstances, object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
To exercise your rights or ask a privacy question, please contact hello@thedtkmethod.com.
If you have any concerns about how your personal information is handled, please contact us so that we can address them. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
