PRIVACY & DATA PROTECTION

Privacy notice

Last updated: 25 October 2026

This notice explains how Andrew Fruish Consulting Ltd handles personal information relating to visits to this website, business enquiries and potential client engagements.

Who is responsible?

Andrew Fruish Consulting Ltd, company number 16456606, is the data controller for the business information described here. Our registered office is Paragon House, Chorley New Road, Horwich, Bolton, England, BL6 6HG. For privacy questions or requests, please email af@andrewfruish.com.

What information we use and why

When you email or otherwise contact the business, we may receive your name, work contact details, organisation, correspondence and information you choose to provide about an enquiry or prospective engagement. If introduced by another professional contact, we may receive relevant business contact information and the context of that introduction.

We use this information to respond to enquiries, discuss and deliver potential or agreed services, maintain appropriate business records, and meet legal or accounting obligations. We rely on legitimate interests in running and developing a business-to-business advisory service, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract or compliance with legal obligations, as applicable. Our legitimate interests include responding to genuine enquiries, maintaining professional relationships and keeping proportionate records.

You do not have to contact us or provide personal information through this website. If you choose to enquire, we need sufficient contact information to respond.

Website visits, cookies and logs

This is a static website hosted by Netlify. The website's own code does not set cookies, use visitor analytics, load advertising trackers or provide a web contact form. Email links open your chosen email application.

When the website is accessed, the hosting infrastructure may handle technical data such as an IP address, browser information, requested pages and access times to deliver pages, maintain security, investigate abuse and diagnose operational issues. These hosting activities are separate from the website's own code.

Sharing and international processing

Information may be handled by service providers necessary to operate the website and business, including Netlify for website hosting, Proton Mail for the domain's incoming mail, and Google Gmail for copies of correspondence retained in a connected mailbox. Email forwarding, archiving and other record-storage services may also be used as configured for the business. Relevant professional advisers or delivery partners may receive information where necessary for an engagement or legal obligation, subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements. We do not sell personal information through this website.

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data transfer rules apply, appropriate safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms must be in place. Contact us using the address above to ask for information about the safeguards relevant to your data.

How long information is kept

We keep enquiries and business correspondence only while there is a legitimate business reason or a legal requirement to do so. The period depends on the nature of the enquiry or engagement, the time since meaningful contact, any ongoing contractual commitments, potential disputes and statutory record-keeping requirements. Financial and contractual records may need to be retained longer than an unanswered preliminary enquiry. We delete or securely dispose of information when it is no longer needed.

Your information rights

Subject to the circumstances and applicable law, you may ask to access, correct or erase your personal data, restrict processing, or receive a portable copy where that right applies. We will consider requests in accordance with applicable law.

Your right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. You also have the right to object to direct marketing at any time.

For requests or concerns, email af@andrewfruish.com. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Updates to this notice

We may update this notice if our services, suppliers or legal obligations change. This website does not make solely automated decisions about visitors that have legal or similarly significant effects.
