1. Who We Are
Ari Connects Ltd is an independent, director-led consultancy registered in England and Wales (Company No. 07347286), with its registered office at 37 Blackbrook Lane, Bromley, BR2 8AU, United Kingdom. We act as data controller for personal data processed through our website and business enquiries. Privacy contact: Arijit Ghosh, Director (info@ariconnects.com, +44 7539 481409).
2. Scope of This Policy
This policy covers visitors to ariconnects.com, prospective clients, commercial partners, and individuals making enquiries. Where Ari Connects provides consultancy, advisory assessments, or engineering delivery under contract, processing of client organisation data is governed by the specific terms of our consultancy contract and data processing agreements.
3. Information We Collect and Receive
Our website enquiry buttons open direct email communications (mailto) addressed to info@ariconnects.com rather than storing submissions in a public database. We collect the details you voluntarily provide (name, business email, organisation, project context, timelines). We also collect standard server connection logs for technical security. Please do not send sensitive or special category data.
4. Why We Use Information & Lawful Bases
We process information under UK GDPR Article 6 lawful bases: responding to enquiries and scoping project requirements (Legitimate Interests / Steps prior to contract); delivering contracted advisory services (Performance of Contract); maintaining statutory corporate and tax records (Legal Obligation); and maintaining website infrastructure security (Legitimate Interests).
5. Sharing and Third-Party Processors
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information to third parties. Data is shared strictly on a confidential basis with essential infrastructure providers (cloud hosting, enterprise email) and professional advisors (accountants, legal counsel) under robust confidentiality terms and UK data protection safeguards.
6. Data Retention
General enquiries not proceeding to a commercial engagement are retained for up to 12 months. Client contracts, communications relating to deliverables, and statutory financial records are retained for 6 to 7 years in compliance with UK accounting and tax requirements.
7. Security and Protection
We maintain proportionate technical and organisational security measures including HTTPS encryption, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, and operating system patching to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
8. Your Data Protection Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, as well as data portability rights. Contact info@ariconnects.com to exercise these rights without fee within one calendar month.
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Ari Connects does not use advertising tracking cookies, marketing pixels, or behavioural tracking tools. Web typography is served via Google Fonts without user tracking cookies.
10. Contact & Complaints
For any privacy queries, contact Arijit Ghosh directly at info@ariconnects.com or +44 7539 481409. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ or via helpline 0303 123 1113.
