Privacy Policy

How we handle your information.

This starter policy describes the information SRPI collects through this website and during engagements, and how it is used and protected.

Information we collect

Enquiry information you choose to provide: name, email address, country or region, client type, service required, discipline, project stage, deadline and your message.

Project materials shared during an engagement, such as drafts, manuscripts, anonymised datasets and correspondence.

Basic technical information generated when you browse this website, such as pages viewed and general device or browser characteristics.

How we use information

To respond to enquiries, assess whether requested support is appropriate, prepare a written scope and deliver agreed services.

To maintain records of engagements, invoices and correspondence, and to improve the clarity and usefulness of this website.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use client materials for marketing without explicit permission.

Legal basis and consent

Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw it at any time. Other processing may rely on the performance of a contract or legitimate interests, as confirmed after legal review.

Sensitive data and datasets

Please do not send identifiable participant data, special-category personal data or unpublished datasets through the initial enquiry form. Where an engagement requires such material, handling arrangements are agreed in writing first.

Retention and security

Information is retained only as long as necessary for the engagement and for legitimate record-keeping requirements, then deleted or anonymised.

Access to client materials is limited to the people working on your engagement. We apply sensible technical and organisational safeguards; we make no security-certification claims.

Your rights

Subject to the law that applies to you, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or object to certain processing. Requests can be made once contact details are published.

Third-party services

This website may rely on hosting and analytics providers that process limited technical data on our behalf. A complete list of processors will be added following legal review and final infrastructure setup.

Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated when our services, infrastructure or legal obligations change. The effective date will be published with the reviewed version.

Contact details for policy enquiries will be published once the business email and domain are configured.
