1. Overview

At King~Carley Risk Advisory, we take the protection of your personal data seriously.
This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the safeguards we apply to protect it.
Our approach is guided by UK and EU data protection law, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, and is built on principles of transparency, confidentiality, and lawful processing.

Personal data means any information that can identify you directly or indirectly. This policy sets out how and why we process such data when you visit or interact with our website or services.

4. Use of Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, maintain security, and analyse site usage.
Most cookies are session cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain until you delete them.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect functionality.

Our ISP provides this using Matomo Analytics (self-hosted) to collect anonymised usage statistics.

IP addresses are anonymised before storage, and no tracking data is shared with third parties.


5. Server Log Files

Our hosting provider automatically collects and stores technical information in server log files, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL
  • Hostname of the accessing device
  • Time of the request
  • IP address

These logs are processed under our legitimate interest in ensuring website security and performance.


6. Contact Form Submissions

If you use our enquiry form, we collect the data you submit (e.g., name, email, enquiry details) solely for the purpose of responding to your request.
Processing is based on your consent (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), which you may withdraw at any time by contacting us.


7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes stated in this policy, or as required by law.
Data from enquiries is retained until the enquiry is resolved, unless you request earlier deletion.


8. Data Security

We use technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.
While no online service can guarantee absolute security, our systems are designed to protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration.


9. Payments

If we process payments online (e.g., for consultancy services or reports), all payment transactions use SSL/TLS encryption.
Payment details are handled securely and are never stored in plain text.


10. Social Media

Our website may include links to our official LinkedIn profile. Clicking these links may allow LinkedIn to collect data in accordance with its own privacy policy.


11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal, technical, or business developments. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will indicate the latest version.
