GDPR

The start point is we are a small business that follows a policy of ‘do the right stuff the right way
‘Right’ is a combination of our values (which we have no problem  understanding 🙂 and the law (which we try to understand and follow but seems subject to many local expectations and contradictions). The practical result of that is we’re happy to listen to your needs and do our best to achieve mutual satisfaction.

When we receive your contact details it is either to provide a service you’ve purchased or a give you access to an offer you have requested. In both cases we will keep your contact details as noted below and use them to advise you of our own product offerings until you unsubscribe. We may reach out to you on behalf of affiliates with relevant products. We won’t give them (or sell etc) your details and we will only ever reach out with products etc that are aligned to our interest in improving the practices of project, program and portfolio management.
