2. Information We Collect

Our website does not currently provide online enquiry forms or account registration facilities.

We may receive personal information when individuals contact us voluntarily by email or communicate with us in connection with a professional enquiry, advisory engagement or potential recruitment assignment.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include names, professional contact details, employment information, CVs, professional experience, correspondence and information relevant to the services requested.

We ask individuals not to send unnecessary sensitive personal information through unsolicited email.

3. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and professional correspondence.
• Discuss potential advisory or recruitment services.
• Evaluate and manage professional engagements.
• Communicate with clients, candidates and professional contacts.
• Maintain appropriate business records.
• Meet applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not use information submitted through professional enquiries for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where UK or EU data protection law applies, the legal basis for processing depends on the circumstances and may include taking steps at an individual's request before entering into a contract, performing contractual obligations, legitimate interests in managing professional communications and services, compliance with legal obligations, or consent where specifically required.

The appropriate basis must be determined for each processing activity. Consent is not assumed to be the legal basis for all professional correspondence.

5. Sharing Personal Information

Personal information may be shared with relevant service providers or professional advisers where reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes.

Information relating to recruitment candidates or institutional engagements may also be shared with relevant parties where there is an appropriate legal basis and any required authorisation.

We do not sell personal information.

6. Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant professional purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Specific retention arrangements for recruitment and advisory engagements should be established before those services begin.

7. International Processing

Because Solute Education Services works in an international professional environment, personal information may be processed or accessed across national borders.

Where applicable data protection laws impose requirements on international transfers, appropriate safeguards must be considered before such transfers take place.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the laws applicable to your personal information, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, or data portability.

You may also have the right to complain to an appropriate data protection authority.

To make a privacy-related request, contact [email protected].

9. Website Technology

Our website currently uses locally hosted website assets and does not intentionally deploy advertising pixels or optional analytics cookies.

Our hosting and security infrastructure may process technical information, including IP addresses and server request data, as part of delivering and protecting the website.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology, or applicable requirements. The current version will be published on this page.
