The controller is responsible for your information.
Seichō is a trading name of MAP001 Ltd, registered office 17 Clarendon Road, Belfast BT1 3BG. MAP001 Ltd is the controller of the personal information described in this notice.
This notice is given under the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and, for visitors in the EU, the EU GDPR.
Privacy correspondence is handled at [email protected].
The briefing form collects only what an enquiry needs.
The briefing form collects your name, email address, business and commercial objective. Your role, turnover band and how you heard of Seichō are optional.
Name, email, business and objective are needed to assess an enquiry; without them it cannot be answered.
The form also records the originating page and form load time. An automated spam check helps protect the enquiry route.
Email enquiries include the information in your message and subsequent correspondence. These records support assessment of the enquiry and a response about its scope.
The confirmation email includes an enquiry reference. Replies quoting that reference remain connected to the enquiry.
Website delivery involves technical information such as the requested page, IP address, browser details and request time. These records support secure and reliable operation.
Legitimate interests provide the lawful basis.
Seichō relies on legitimate interests to assess and respond to business enquiries and to protect the website. The interest is conducting relevant business correspondence and maintaining a dependable service.
Someone making an enquiry reasonably expects a reply. Processing is limited to the information needed for that purpose, with restricted access and a defined retention period.
That interest is balanced against privacy by keeping optional details voluntary and using enquiry information only for relevant correspondence. Your rights take priority where they outweigh the stated interest.
Enquiry details are not added to a marketing list. The website uses no analytics, advertising trackers or automated decisions about whether an enquiry is suitable.
Access is limited to the enquiry and website service.
The people responsible for assessing and responding to enquiries have access to the information needed for that work. Service providers process information for website delivery and correspondence.
- Website hosting: Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (EU).
- Transactional email: Resend.
- DNS and network services: Cloudflare.
Resend and Cloudflare may process data in the United States. Transfers outside the UK and EU rely on the processor's standard contractual clauses and the UK addendum. Information is also disclosed where a legal obligation requires it.
Retention follows the purpose of the record.
Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are kept for 24 months and then deleted. Records of an engagement follow the retention set out in its contract. Server logs are kept only as long as needed to operate and secure the website, and for no more than 30 days.
Where an enquiry becomes an engagement, the written agreement and associated privacy information set out the treatment of engagement records.
Your rights remain available.
You have rights to access and correct your personal information. Rights to erasure and restriction apply in the circumstances set by data protection law.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Requests and privacy concerns are handled at [email protected]. Proportionate identity checks protect personal information before disclosure or changes.
Requests are answered within one month.
Complaints can be made to the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK or the supervisory authority where you live, including the Data Protection Commission in Ireland.
The privacy notice sits alongside the website terms.
The cookie notice explains browser storage. The terms of use cover website material, and the consultancy record describes the firm.
