Catalyst Growth Engine (“CGE”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us or work with us.

For UK data protection purposes, we are the data controller responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

2. Information we collect
We may collect:
your name, job title and organisation;
your email address, telephone number and other contact details;
information you provide through website forms, emails, telephone calls or meetings;
information about your business requirements, projects and commercial interests;
records of our communications and working relationship;
technical information about visits to our website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and referral source; and
information available from professional networking platforms, company websites, public business directories, events, introductions and referrals.
Please do not send us sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and we have agreed to receive it.
3. How we use your information
We may use personal information to:
respond to enquiries and arrange meetings;
provide consultancy and business-development services;
identify and discuss relevant commercial opportunities;
introduce businesses or individuals where appropriate and authorised;
prepare proposals and manage client or supplier relationships;
operate, maintain and improve our website;
send relevant business communications and marketing;
meet our legal, regulatory, accounting and security obligations; and
establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We will only use your information where we have a lawful basis. This will normally be because it is necessary to perform or prepare for a contract, because we have a legitimate business interest that does not override your rights, because you have given consent, or because we must comply with a legal obligation.
You can withdraw consent or object to direct marketing at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe option in a message.
4. Sharing your information
We may share personal information with:
organisations or professional contacts involved in an agreed introduction or opportunity;
trusted providers supporting our website, email, document storage, communications, accounting and other business operations;
professional advisers, including accountants, insurers and legal advisers; and
regulators, public authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law.
We do not sell personal information. We will not share your contact details with another organisation for its independent marketing without an appropriate lawful basis.
Our service providers may process information only for agreed purposes and must protect it appropriately.
5. Cookies and website analytics
Our website may use essential cookies required for it to operate. With your permission, it may also use analytics or other optional cookies to help us understand how visitors use the site.
Where consent is required, optional cookies will not be placed until you accept them. You can reject optional cookies or change your preferences through the website’s cookie controls. You can also manage cookies using your browser settings.
6. International transfers
Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we will use appropriate safeguards required by UK data protection law, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections.
7. How long we retain information
We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting and contractual requirements.
Typically:
unsuccessful or general enquiries are retained for up to two years;
client, supplier and financial records may be retained for up to seven years after the relationship ends; and
marketing information is retained until you opt out or it is no longer relevant, with contact records reviewed periodically.
We may retain limited information for longer where needed to record an objection, resolve a dispute or comply with the law.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. However, no online system or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exemptions. To exercise a right, contact us using the details above. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at www.ico.org.uk, although we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns first.
10. Other websites
Our website may link to websites operated by other organisations. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. You should review the privacy policy of any external website you visit.
11. Automated decision-making
We do not use personal information to make solely automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our services, website or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page with its effective date.
