Privacy & Cookies

Your privacy

This website is operated by Menzies Enterprises Ltd, trading as Ewan A Menzies.

I take your privacy seriously and only collect the information I need to respond when you get in touch and, where appropriate, explore whether we might work together.

I do not use information submitted through this website to add you to mailing lists or send newsletters or general marketing.

Who is responsible for your information?

Menzies Enterprises Ltd is the data controller for the personal information collected through this website.

  • Company number: SC344865

  • Registered in: Scotland

  • Registered office: 5 Deanburn Park, Linlithgow, Scotland, EH49 6EZ

  • Website: ewanamenzies.co.uk

If you have a question about your personal information, want to exercise a data-protection right or want to make a data-protection complaint, use the website contact form and state clearly that your message relates to privacy or data protection.

What information do I collect?

If you use the Arrange a Conversation form, I may collect:

  • your name

  • your email address

  • your company name

  • your telephone number, if you choose to provide it

  • the information you include when telling me what prompted you to get in touch

I may also keep subsequent correspondence with you where this is relevant to your enquiry or a potential business relationship. The website may collect limited technical information through cookies and similar technologies, as explained below.

How I use your information

I use information submitted through the website to:

  • respond to your enquiry

  • understand why you have contacted me

  • arrange and follow up an initial conversation

  • consider whether I may be able to help you or your business

  • continue relevant discussions where there is a genuine potential business relationship

  • maintain appropriate records of our correspondence

I do not use website enquiries to automatically subscribe people to marketing communications.

My lawful basis for using this information is normally legitimate interests: it is reasonable for me to use the details you voluntarily provide so I can respond to your enquiry and discuss a potential business relationship with you.

How long I keep your information

If you make an enquiry but do not become a client, I will normally retain the enquiry and related correspondence for up to 12 months after our last meaningful contact.

This allows me to refer back to previous discussions if you contact me again. I may delete information sooner where there is no longer a good reason to keep it.

If our discussions develop into a client relationship, relevant information may become part of the business records relating to that relationship and may be retained for longer where needed for legal, accounting or legitimate business record-keeping purposes.

Who your information may be shared with

I do not sell your personal information.

The website is built and hosted using Wix, which provides the technology used to operate the site and process website form submissions.

I may also use trusted professional or technology providers where reasonably necessary to operate the business. They should only receive information relevant to the service they provide. I may disclose information where required by law.
