The People Powered respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you use our website, contact us, join our HR resource library, apply for a role, or work with us.

Personal data we collect

  • Contact details such as name, email address, phone number, company and role.
  • Information you provide about an HR enquiry, workplace issue, service requirement or urgency.
  • Client information needed to provide HR consultancy, employee relations, investigations, policy work or retained advisory services.
  • Resource-library signup details and selected downloads.
  • Careers information, including CVs and work history if you apply or register interest.
  • Website and analytics information such as device, browser, pages visited and referral source where permitted.

Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through website forms. If a matter involves sensitive HR data, we will only process what is necessary for the agreed purpose.

How we use personal data

  • To respond to enquiries and arrange calls or meetings.
  • To assess urgency and provide HR consultancy or related professional services.
  • To deliver requested templates, guides and resource-library access.
  • To manage careers enquiries.
  • To send relevant updates or marketing where permitted.

  • To meet legal, regulatory, accounting and professional obligations.

Lawful bases

Depending on the context, we rely on contract, legitimate interests, consent, legal obligation, and where relevant appropriate conditions for employment law, legal claims or explicit consent.

Marketing and resources

If you join the HR resource library or request updates, we may send practical HR resources and related service information. You can unsubscribe at any time. We do not sell personal data.

Sharing personal data

We may share data with trusted providers who help us run the website and business, including hosting, email, forms, analytics, booking, professional advisers and secure file-storage providers. We may also share information where required by law or to protect legal rights.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we take steps designed to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary. Indicative periods are: general enquiries up to 24 months after last contact; client matter records up to 7 years; careers applications up to 12 months unless agreed otherwise; marketing/resource records until unsubscribe or list clean-up.

Your rights

You may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, request portability, and complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. To exercise rights, contact team@thepeoplepowered.com.

Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No website or email system is completely secure, so please avoid sending highly sensitive information unless we have agreed a secure method.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies as explained in our Cookie Notice.
