We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to access or store information on our website.
Cookies are small data files placed on your device that help our website function properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our Services.
The types of cookies we may use include:
Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for our website to function correctly;
Analytics/performance cookies, which help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it; and
Functionality cookies, which remember choices you make to provide a more personalised experience.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including refusing or deleting cookies. Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of our Services may not function as intended.
5. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties. We do not share SMS opt-in data under any circumstances.
We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.
Service Providers. We may share your information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as scheduling, payment processing, or email/SMS delivery platforms, strictly to enable them to provide that service to us.
No sharing of SMS opt-in data: Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes, under any circumstances. This category of information is expressly excluded from all other data-sharing described in this notice.
6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process, including:
Restricting access to personal information to those who need it to perform their role;
Using secure, reputable third-party platforms for storing and processing client data, payment information, and SMS/email communications;
Storing SMS opt-in and consent records securely and separately from data used for other marketing purposes; and
Reviewing our data handling practices periodically to ensure they remain appropriate to the risk.
However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at stuart@themansformation.co.uk.
9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You may review, change, unsubscribe, or terminate your account at any time, including from SMS communications.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details in "How Can You Contact Us About This Notice?" below. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal, nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect processing conducted in reliance on lawful grounds other than consent.

Clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email we send;
Replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to any SMS/text message we send; or

We will action your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
