1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how The Data Storytellers (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects personal information through our website www.thedatastorytellers.com (the “Site”). By submitting your information through our Opt-In form or using the Site, you are consenting to the practices described in this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you fill out our lead-generation forms. That information includes:

• Name

• Email address

• Company name

• Job title

• Phone number
   

We may also collect non-personal/technical information automatically via cookies, web analytics and other tracking tools such as: IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, referring URLs and time spent on the site.

3. Use of Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• Manage and follow up on master-class and podcast leads, events or enquiries.

• Communicate with you regarding our programmes, updates, offers, newsletters, or relevant content.

• Store and maintain your information in our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.

• Analyse and improve our website, outreach, marketing campaigns and services.
   

4. Sharing of Information

We do not share your mobile phone number or mobile originator opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. This means your mobile phone number and any consent you provide for text messaging are not sold, rented, shared or otherwise provided to third-party marketers or affiliates.

We may share your personal information with our service providers and subcontractors who assist us with operations such as customer service, CRM hosting or email outreach (for example HubSpot). These service providers process information on our behalf and are bound by contract to use your information only for the purposes we specify.

We do not share your personal information for other purposes unless we have your consent or are required by law.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and web analytics tools to measure website traffic, user behaviour and engagement, and to improve the user experience and marketing effectiveness. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of the Site.

6. Data Storage, Security and Retention

Your personal information is stored in secure systems such as HubSpot CRM. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Despite our efforts, no data transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

We retain your personal information as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable law. If you no longer want us to use your information for marketing or outreach, you may unsubscribe or contact us (see Section 9).

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to opt out of our marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in emails or by contacting us at support@thedatastorytellers.com.

You may also withdraw your consent for future uses of your personal information (unless otherwise restricted by legal obligations or legitimate business need).
If you disable cookies in your browser, functionality of some parts of the Site may be limited.

8. International Transfers

Because our operations (including CRM hosting) may involve storage or processing outside of the country in which you reside, your personal information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different privacy laws. In such cases we endeavour to ensure similar standards of protection are applied.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Site and services are intended for professional use by adults. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 16, please contact us at support@thedatastorytellers.com so we may delete the information.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
