Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Bez Martin Consultancy is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This notice explains how I collect, use and protect personal information when you visit this website, contact me or engage Bez Martin Consultancy to provide professional services.

Who I am

Bez Martin Consultancy is operated by Bez Martin as a sole trader.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Bez Martin is the data controller for personal information processed by Bez Martin Consultancy.

For any questions about this privacy notice or how your personal information is handled, please contact:

Email: bez@bezmartinconsultancy.co.uk

Information I may collect

I may collect personal information that you provide when you contact me, make an enquiry or engage Bez Martin Consultancy. This may include:

your name;
your job title and organisation;
your email address and telephone number;
information contained within correspondence or enquiries;
information necessary to provide consultancy, training, mentoring or other professional services;
invoicing and financial information; and
technical information collected through this website, where applicable.

I will only collect information that is relevant and necessary for the purpose for which it is being used.

How I use your information

I may use your personal information to:

respond to enquiries;
discuss and arrange consultancy, training or other professional services;
deliver agreed services;
manage professional relationships with clients;
issue invoices and maintain financial and business records;
meet legal, regulatory and insurance requirements; and
operate and improve this website.

Legal basis for processing

Depending on the circumstances, I will process personal information because:

it is necessary to take steps towards or fulfil a contract;
I have a legitimate business interest in communicating with clients and potential clients and operating Bez Martin Consultancy;
I am required to do so by law; or
you have provided consent where consent is required.

Children's information

Bez Martin Consultancy specialises in children's rights and participation. However, this website is primarily intended for professionals and organisations seeking information about my services.

I do not intentionally collect personal information about children through this website.

Where my consultancy work involves information relating to children and young people, appropriate data protection, confidentiality and safeguarding arrangements will be agreed with the commissioning organisation before that information is processed.

Sharing your information

I do not sell personal information.

I may share information with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate my business, for example website hosting, email, accounting or other professional services.

I may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Where third parties process personal information on my behalf, I will take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate data protection arrangements are in place.

How long I keep information

I retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, including meeting legal, tax, contractual and insurance requirements.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or disposed of.

Keeping information secure

I take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

request access to your personal information;
ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
request deletion of your information;
request restriction of processing;
object to certain uses of your information; and
request transfer of your information in certain circumstances.

You can contact me using the email address above if you wish to exercise any of these rights.

You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.
