Consult Beyond is operated by Phil, based in the UK. For data protection purposes, we are the data controller of personal information collected through this website and our services.

Contact: phil@consultbeyond.online

Information you provide directly:

• Name and email address when you contact us or book a call
• Business information shared during consultations
• Payment information (processed securely by third-party providers — we do not store card details)

Information collected automatically:

• IP address and browser type via standard web server logs
• Pages visited and time spent on site (via analytics tools)
• Cookie data — see our Cookies Policy

• Respond to enquiries and provide the services you’ve requested
• Manage bookings and client relationships
• Send service-related communications (invoices, updates, session notes)
• Improve our website and services through anonymised analytics
• Send newsletters or updates, only where you have opted in

• Contractual necessity — to deliver the services you’ve engaged us for
• Legitimate interests — to operate and improve our business
• Consent — for marketing communications
• Legal obligation — where required by law

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted third-party service providers (such as booking tools, email platforms, or payment processors) only as necessary to deliver our services. These parties are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable law.

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal obligations. Client records are typically kept for 6 years in accordance with UK tax law. You can request deletion of your data at any time where no legal obligation requires us to retain it.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is consent-based)
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at phil@consultbeyond.online.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data sent to us online.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
