Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At PeoplePlus, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data when you interact with our HR consulting services. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and all applicable UK data protection laws. By using our services or website, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. We are transparent about our data handling practices and believe you have the right to understand exactly how your information is managed.

Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to provide effective HR consulting services and maintain professional client relationships. This includes contact details such as names, job titles, company information, email addresses, and telephone numbers provided during consultations or service inquiries. When delivering consulting services, we may collect additional organizational data, employee information, performance metrics, and business documents relevant to project scope. We also gather technical information through our website including IP addresses, browser types, device information, and usage patterns to improve user experience and service delivery. All data collection is conducted transparently with appropriate consent and legitimate business purposes.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used exclusively for providing professional HR consulting services, maintaining client relationships, and improving service quality. We analyze data to develop customized solutions, deliver strategic recommendations, and measure engagement success. Contact information enables us to communicate about projects, send relevant updates, respond to inquiries, and provide ongoing support. We may use aggregated, anonymized data for research, industry benchmarking, and developing best practices that benefit our clients. Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for their marketing purposes. All usage complies with data protection regulations and respects your privacy preferences.

Data Security and Protection Measures

We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security protocols include encrypted data transmission, secure server infrastructure, access controls limiting data availability to authorized personnel only, regular security audits, and staff training on data protection best practices. We use industry standard encryption technologies for sensitive information and maintain secure physical and digital storage systems. While we strive to protect your data, no internet transmission is completely secure. We continuously update our security measures to address evolving threats and maintain compliance with current data protection standards.

Data Retention and Storage

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by legal obligations. Client project data is typically retained for the duration of our engagement plus seven years for professional liability and regulatory compliance purposes. Contact information for prospective clients may be stored for reasonable periods to facilitate future communication. You have the right to request deletion of your data subject to any legal or contractual obligations requiring retention. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it using appropriate disposal methods to prevent unauthorized recovery or access.
