5. Our lawful bases for processing
UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:
Legitimate interests
We may process personal information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. These interests may include operating and developing our business, managing client relationships, improving our services, maintaining the security of our systems and undertaking appropriate business-to-business sales and marketing.
Contract
We may process information where this is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you. Where our contract is with your employer or organisation rather than you personally, we will normally rely on legitimate interests to process your business contact information.
Legal obligation
We may process information where necessary to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting or other obligations that apply to us.
Consent
Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
6. Business-to-business marketing
We provide services primarily to businesses and organisations.
We may use professional contact information to identify and communicate with people who we reasonably believe may have an interest in Positive8’s services or content.
This information may have been provided directly by you or obtained from sources such as company websites, professional networking platforms, publicly available information, referrals and reputable business information providers.
Where permitted, we may rely on our legitimate interests in developing and promoting our business to process personal information for business-to-business marketing. We also comply with applicable requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (“PECR”).
Where consent is required for a particular form of marketing, we will obtain it before sending that marketing.
You have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.
Marketing emails from Positive8 will include a way for you to unsubscribe or change your preferences. You can also contact us directly to ask us to stop sending marketing communications.
If you opt out, we may retain limited information on a suppression list so that we can respect your preference and avoid contacting you again for marketing purposes.
7. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share personal information where necessary with trusted organisations that help us operate our business and provide our services.
These may include:
- CRM and marketing technology providers;
- website hosting and technology providers;
- analytics providers;
- email and communications providers;
- cloud and IT service providers;
- consultants and subcontractors involved in delivering our services;
- accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers; and
- regulators, government bodies or law enforcement agencies where required by law.
Where another organisation processes personal information on our behalf, we require it to handle that information appropriately and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Some organisations may act as independent data controllers for the information they receive. Where this applies, their own privacy notices and data protection obligations will apply.
8. International transfers
Some of the service providers and technology platforms we use may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure it receives an appropriate level of protection in accordance with UK data protection law.
This may include relying on UK adequacy regulations or using approved contractual safeguards and other appropriate protections.
9. How long we keep your information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet our legal, regulatory, contractual and legitimate business requirements.
The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.
For example:
- information relating to clients and contracts may be retained for the period required to manage our relationship and meet legal, tax and accounting requirements;
- enquiry and prospective client information may be retained while there is a reasonable business reason to maintain contact;
- marketing information may be retained while we believe our services or content remain relevant to your professional role, unless you object or unsubscribe; and
- suppression information may be retained for as long as necessary to ensure we continue to respect an opt-out request.
We periodically review the personal information we hold and delete or anonymise information that is no longer required.
10. Cookies and website analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, understand how visitors use the site and improve its performance.

- request access to the personal information we hold about you;
