About this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to fordhambusinesschallenge.com, the Fordham Business Challenge website. It explains the types of information associated with using the website, the purposes for which information may be processed, and the choices available to you.
The website provides information about business consulting, financial services, and marketing and branding. This policy covers website use; any separate service agreement or privacy information provided for a particular engagement should also be read.
Information you provide
If you communicate with us through an available communication channel, the information you choose to provide may include your name, contact details, business name, and the contents of your message. Provide only the information needed for your enquiry. Please do not send passwords, payment details, identity documents, or confidential customer records through a general enquiry.
The form currently displayed on our Contact page is a demonstration form. It validates entries and displays a confirmation in your browser, but it does not send or save an enquiry. Do not rely on that form to contact us or submit a privacy request. If you already have an established business communication channel with Fordham Business Challenge, use that channel for correspondence.
Information from website visits
Website hosting, delivery, and security services may process technical information when a page is requested. This can include an IP address, browser and device details, the requested page, access time, and error or security information. This information supports website delivery, troubleshooting, and protection against misuse.
Website measurement tools may also process information about page visits and website performance. The pages use Cloudflare services and load the Manrope typeface from Google Fonts. Requests to these providers may disclose technical information such as an IP address and browser details. Their own privacy notices explain how they handle information received by their services.
How information may be used
Depending on how you interact with us, information may be used to respond to correspondence, discuss a requested service, administer an agreed business relationship, keep appropriate records, maintain and improve the website, investigate technical problems, and protect against spam, fraud, or unauthorised access.
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis for processing, the basis depends on the activity. It may include your consent, steps requested before entering an agreement, performance of an agreement, a legal obligation, or a legitimate interest such as operating and protecting the website. The applicable requirements depend on the circumstances and the law that applies.
Cookies and your choices
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Website software and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies for functionality, login sessions, security, preferences, or measurement, depending on the features in use. WordPress login-related cookies apply when an authorised user signs in; browsing public information does not require you to create an account.
You can review, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect login or other website functions. Where a consent control is available, use it to manage optional technologies. Browser settings do not necessarily prevent all processing of technical information needed to deliver a requested page.
Service providers and other disclosures
Information may be handled by providers supporting hosting, content delivery, security, website measurement, communications, or other services needed for the relevant activity. Information may also need to be disclosed where required by law, in response to a valid legal request, or to protect rights and investigate misuse.
Third-party services may operate in countries different from your own. Their privacy notices explain relevant processing locations and protections. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers under our responsibility, those requirements apply.
Links and external content
The website may link to other websites or include content supplied by third parties. Following a link or using embedded content may result in those providers receiving information about your visit. This policy does not govern their websites or services; review their privacy notices before providing personal information.
Retention and security
Retention depends on the purpose for which information is handled, the type of record, operational and security needs, and any applicable legal requirements. Correspondence and service records may need to be kept for the relevant relationship or obligation. Hosting logs, measurement records, and backups may have separate retention arrangements determined by the providers and settings in use.
Website and administrative safeguards are intended to reduce unauthorised access, alteration, or loss. No website, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Avoid including sensitive information in messages that are not necessary for the discussion.
Your privacy rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, an objection to certain processing, or a copy of information in a portable format. Where processing relies on consent, you may be able to withdraw that consent for future processing. Some requests are subject to legal exceptions or record-keeping requirements.
If you have a privacy question or request, use an established business communication channel with Fordham Business Challenge, if you have one. Refer to our Contact page for current enquiry information, noting that the demonstration form does not transmit messages. Do not enter sensitive information into that form. You may also contact the privacy or data protection authority relevant to your location where applicable.
Children
The website is intended for a business audience. Children should not provide personal information through the website. If you believe information relating to a child has been provided through an established communication channel, raise the matter through that channel so it can be reviewed.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in website features, services, or information-handling practices. The date above identifies the latest version. Review this page periodically, particularly before using a newly introduced feature.
