PeopleUnboxed Ltd Privacy Policy

Your Privacy
At PeopleUnboxed, integrity is super, super important to us and we pride ourselves on building long-term trusted partnerships with our lovely clients. We want you to know that we aim to communicate with you, only in the ways you want us to, and that we’re committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website and social media platform visitors. We’ve written this policy (partly because GDPR says we have to) but also to reassure our website guests and be transparent about when we might collect your personal information, how we use it and your rights to say ‘no thank you’.

Data Collection and Use
We may collect any personal information you provide us with, such as your name, phone number, and email address. If you’d like to fill us in on your life story, your work challenges and how you’re feeling today, we won’t collect that bit, but we do love a good chat. You can, of course, pull up pew and browse our website without giving us any personal information at all.

If you do provide us with your personal information, we’ll use this to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to obtain or provide additional information to be able to help you; to keep you updated, to check our records are right; and every now and then, to check that you’re fine and dandy. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses, we don’t think that’s very ethical.

Sometimes we analyse traffic to our website to understand how our visitors browse, and to help us to optimise our website and your user experience, but, we only collect anonymous, aggregate statistics. You don’t need to worry, honestly, we’re learning geeks just doing what we love, we don’t have the inclination or the know-how to work out individual browsing patterns.

We like to think our website is a useful source of information for people in the workplace. It is targeted at adults and we would never intentionally collect any personal information from children. On the off-chance children do happen to pop by, parents you can rest assured there’s no in-app purchase possibilities here, and we’re really rather a lovely bunch. 

Cookies
The type of cookies we’re referring to here (yes, we prefer the other ones too), are small data files which are placed on your device as you browse websites. They are used to ‘remember’ when you accessed this, and other websites, to help personalise your user journey based on your previous visits.

If you want to disable cookies you just need to change your website browser settings. Some websites may not operate as well with cookies switched off.

Your Rights
You’re entitled to view, amend, or delete the personal information that we hold, hey, it’s your information. You can also unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time. Just send your request to info@peopleunboxed.co.uk.

We won’t be offended if you unfriend us, (well, maybe a little, we’re sensitive souls you know),…but…it’s cool, we totally respect it’s your life to live your way.

So, in summary, by using our website, you consent to the collection and use of the information you provide to us as we’ve just outlined. Oh, and we review this policy regularly to ensure we look after your personal information as carefully as possible, and to keep you informed in how we use it. 

Now, grab yourself a coffee, take a look around, and be sure to give us a shout if you have any questions…
