Legal information

Privacy notice

Effective and last updated: 30 October 2026

This notice explains how SHAKE SHARP LIMITED uses personal information when you visit this website, contact us about our services or become a client. We do not sell personal information.

1. Who we are

SHAKE SHARP LIMITED is the controller of the personal information described in this notice. We are registered in England and Wales under company number 15216774.

Privacy enquiries and rights requests can be sent to hello@shakesharp.co.uk.

2. Information we collect

When you contact us

We may receive your name, work contact details, organisation, role and the content of your enquiry, together with any later correspondence. Please do not send personal, confidential or sensitive business information unless it is necessary and we have agreed an appropriate way to receive it.

When we provide services

We may process business contact details, project communications, meeting records, contractual information and other information needed to scope, deliver, secure and administer an engagement. Project-specific processing will also be governed by our contract and, where appropriate, a data processing agreement.

When you use this website

Our hosting provider may process limited technical information, such as IP address, browser details, requested pages, timestamps and security logs, to deliver and protect the website.

3. How and why we use information

• To respond to enquiries and take steps requested before entering into a contract.
• To provide, manage and improve contracted services.
• To operate, troubleshoot and protect our website, systems and business.
• To maintain appropriate business, financial and compliance records.
• To establish, exercise or defend legal claims and meet legal obligations.

4. Our lawful bases

Depending on the circumstances, we rely on taking steps before a contract or performing a contract, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting a professional services business, and compliance with legal obligations. If we need consent for a particular activity, we will ask for it separately and you may withdraw it at any time.

5. Cookies and analytics

This version of the website does not use advertising cookies, behavioural tracking or website analytics. Essential infrastructure may still use strictly necessary technologies to deliver and secure the site. If we introduce non-essential cookies or analytics, we will update this notice and provide any consent controls required by law.

6. Who receives information

We may share information only where necessary with website, email, communications and business-operations providers acting on our instructions; professional advisers; a prospective buyer or successor in connection with a corporate transaction; or public authorities where required by law. We require service providers to protect personal information and use it only for the agreed purpose.

7. International transfers

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data protection law requires it, we use an adequacy regulation or appropriate safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum, and carry out relevant transfer-risk checks.

8. How long we keep information

We retain enquiry records only while they remain relevant to a potential business relationship and ordinarily review them for deletion after 24 months of inactivity. Contract, project, financial and compliance records may be retained for up to six years after an engagement ends, unless a longer or shorter period is required by law, a dispute, security needs or an agreed client retention schedule. Security logs are kept for the period reasonably required to investigate and prevent misuse.

9. Security

We use proportionate organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so please contact us before sending information that requires additional protection.

10. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights to request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first.

11. Automated decisions and children

We do not use information collected through this website to make solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. Our website and services are directed to organisations and are not intended for children.

12. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice when our services, providers or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published here with a revised date.
