1) Who we are (Data Controller)

Legal entity: Energetic English Ltd.

Contact for privacy matters: [email protected]

This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit our websites, landing pages, and funnels, sign up for content, or book a call.

2) Scope & applicable laws

We are established in the UK and primarily comply with UK GDPR and PECR. For visitors from the US, we also address U.S. state privacy laws (including California CCPA/CPRA; see §13). If these laws conflict, the protections most favourable to you apply.

3) What we collect

3.1 Information you give us

  • Contact details: name, email, phone (optional).

  • Business information: role, tenure, revenue band, goals/bottlenecks (from application forms).

  • Calendar details: your selected time zone and chosen time slot.

  • Communications: emails, messages, and call notes/recordings (if we record, we’ll say so at the start).

3.2 Information we collect automatically

  • Usage/Device data: IP address, device IDs, browser type/version, pages viewed, UTM parameters, time on page, referrer/exit pages.

  • Event data: opt-ins, application starts/submissions, bookings, video engagement (e.g., “Primer viewed”).

Legal obligations; Legitimate interests

Legitimate interests test: We only rely on this where our interests (e.g., running a safe, useful site) do not override your rights. You can object at any time (see §11).

5) How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share with:

  • Service providers (processors): website hosting/CDN, CRM & funnel software (e.g., GHL), email/SMS tools, calendar/meeting tools (e.g., Google/Zoom), ad platforms (Meta) for measurement/retargeting, analytics, consent management.

  • Ad/analytics partners: via pixels/CAPI when you consent (UK/EU).

  • Professional advisors & authorities: where required by law or to protect rights/security.

    We sign data processing agreements (DPAs) with our processors.

6) International transfers

We may transfer data outside the UK/EEA (e.g., to the US) using approved safeguards such as UK IDTA/EU SCCs, and supplementary measures where appropriate. Copies of relevant safeguards are available on request (with redactions for security/commercial sensitivity).

7) How long we keep data (retention)

We keep data no longer than necessary for the purposes above:

  • Leads/contacts: 24 months after last interaction (or earlier if you unsubscribe and request deletion).

  • Application responses: 24 months (for audit/consistency).

  • Calendar & reminders data: 12–24 months.

  • Ad/analytics event data: typically 13 months (provider default) unless law or disputes require longer.

    We then delete or anonymise.

8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (encryption in transit, access controls, least-privilege, regular reviews). No method is 100% secure. If we suspect a personal data breach that risks your rights, we will notify you and relevant authorities where required.

9) Children

Our services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we’ll delete it.

10) Cookies & tracking technologies

10.1 Categories we use

  • Strictly necessary (essential): site operation, security, form submissions, cookie preferences.

  • Performance/analytics: understand visits, funnel metrics.

  • Advertising/retargeting: measure ads, show ads to interested visitors (e.g., Meta).

10.2 Your choices

  • UK/EU: Under PECR/UK GDPR, non-essential cookies require prior consent. Our banner lets you Accept all / Reject non-essential / Manage preferences. You can change your choice anytime via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

  • US: You can opt-out of “sale/sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising via “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” (footer). We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where feasible.

You can also complain to the ICO: ico.org.uk.

12) Automated decision-making / profiling

We do not make decisions with legal/similar significant effects based solely on automated processing. We may use basic profiling (e.g., analytics segments, ad audiences) to improve relevance. You can object at any time.

Categories collected: identifiers (name, email, IP), commercial info (booking/application activity), internet activity (pages/events), inferences (basic audience segments).

Purposes: see §4; Sources: you, your devices, ad/analytics partners; Recipients: service providers and ad partners.

Sale/Share: We do not sell personal info for money. We may “share” identifiers/internet activity for cross-context behavioural advertising via pixels. You can opt-out via “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” and by enabling GPC.

Rights: know/access, correct, delete, opt-out of sale/share, limit use of sensitive info (we don’t collect sensitive categories), and non-discrimination.

How to exercise: email [email protected] or use the links in the footer. We will verify your request (we may need additional info). You can use an authorised agent (we may require proof of authorisation).
