Information we collect

We may collect personal information that you provide directly to us when you contact Bee1Cee, submit an enquiry or discuss a project with us.

This may include:

• Your name and contact details.
• Your email address and telephone number, where provided.
• Your business or organisation name.
• Information about your enquiry, project, requirements or services you are interested in.
• Correspondence between you and Bee1Cee by email, telephone, WhatsApp, social media or other communication channels.
• Limited technical information generated when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser, device and request information where this is processed as part of normal website operation and security.

Please do not provide sensitive or special category personal information through our website unless it is genuinely necessary and we have specifically asked you to provide it.

How and why we use your information

We use personal information only where we have a clear business or legal reason to do so.

We may use your information to:

• Respond to enquiries and questions.
• Discuss your requirements and prepare quotations or proposals.
• Take steps you request before entering into a contract.
• Provide and manage agreed creative or digital services.
• Communicate with you during and after a project.
• Maintain appropriate business, financial and administrative records.
• Protect the security, availability and proper operation of our website and services.
• Comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory obligations.

Submitting an enquiry through our website does not automatically subscribe you to a marketing mailing list.

Our lawful bases

UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis whenever we process personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

• Contract — where processing is necessary to provide agreed services or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Legitimate interests — where it is reasonably necessary for us to respond to enquiries, communicate with clients, operate our business or protect our website, provided your rights and interests do not override those interests.
• Legal obligation — where we are required to process information to comply with law, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.
• Consent — where we specifically ask you for consent and consent is the appropriate lawful basis.

Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information.

Where reasonably necessary, we may share personal information with trusted service providers that help us operate our business, including providers supporting:

• Website hosting, security and infrastructure.
• Website enquiry and form processing.
• Email and business communications.
• Business administration and professional services.

We may also disclose personal information to professional advisers, public authorities or other parties where this is reasonably necessary or required by law.

We expect service providers processing personal information on our behalf to handle it appropriately and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

International transfers

Some service providers used to operate our website, communications or business systems may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where a transfer requires additional safeguards, appropriate transfer mechanisms recognised under UK data protection law will be used as applicable, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards.

You can contact us if you would like further information about safeguards relevant to your personal information.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

The length of time we retain information depends on the nature of our relationship with you, whether an enquiry becomes a client project and whether records need to be retained for contractual, legal, tax, accounting or dispute-resolution purposes.

We periodically review the information we hold and may delete or anonymise information when it is no longer reasonably required.

Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis being used, UK data protection law may give you rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Ask us to erase personal information in certain circumstances.
• Ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances.
• Object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests where applicable.
• Request transfer of certain information where the right to data portability applies.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent as the lawful basis.

To exercise a data protection right, email hello@bee1cee.com.

We may need to confirm your identity before responding to a request.
