GDPR Compliance Statement

Last Updated: 8 September 2026

Our Commitment to Data Protection

SpireThorn Consulting Ltd is committed to compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We implement appropriate measures to ensure personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

Data Controller

SpireThorn Consulting Ltd acts as the data controller for personal information collected through this website and during service delivery. We determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.

Registered Address:
SpireThorn Consulting Ltd
42 Maritime House, Ocean Way
Southampton SO14 3TL
United Kingdom

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases as defined by UK GDPR:

  • Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for specific purposes
  • Contract: Processing is necessary to fulfil a contract we have with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with legal obligations
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these do not override your fundamental rights

Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies if requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including where data is no longer necessary for the original purpose or where consent is withdrawn.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing in specific situations, such as when you contest data accuracy or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you have the right to request transfer of your data to another organisation or directly to you in a structured, commonly used format.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant impacts on individuals.

We will respond to requests within one month. If your request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests, we may extend this period by two months and will notify you accordingly.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data security commensurate with the risks, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest where appropriate
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Staff training on data protection obligations
  • Incident response procedures

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach poses a high risk, we will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

We primarily process data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the ICO or transfers to countries with adequacy decisions.

Our services are not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
