Privacy Notice and Legal Notice

for business contacts reached by email from aldertonpartners.co.uk

In short: We found your business contact details through a B2B data provider, public company sources or an automatic reply from your company and emailed you about a possible introduction to one of our clients. If you do not want to hear from us, reply "no" to the email and we will not contact you again.

1. Who is responsible (legal notice)

Leads Pirates UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Stimbergstraße 283 B
45739 Oer-Erkenschwick
Germany
Managing Director: Philipp Gesterkamp
Registered with the Local Court (Amtsgericht) Recklinghausen, Commercial Register No.: HRB 10357
Email: privacy@aldertonpartners.co.uk

aldertonpartners.co.uk is one of the sending domains we use for outreach on behalf of our clients. We decide ourselves which contact details we use for this outreach and are the controller for them.

2. What data we process

• Name, job title and employer
• Business email address
• Company details (company name, website, size, industry, registered address and company type)
• Public professional profile URL (for example LinkedIn), where available
• Our contact history with you (emails sent, replies, opt-outs)

3. Where the data comes from

We did not receive your details from you directly. They come from one or more of these sources:

• Commercial B2B data providers
• Companies House
• LinkedIn (public professional profiles)
• Your company's website
• An automatic email reply from your company that names you as a contact

On request, we tell you the specific source of your details.

4. Why we process it and on what legal basis

We use your business contact details to introduce the services of a client of ours to companies that may have a use for them, and to arrange meetings with interested contacts. On request, we tell you which client this concerns.

The legal basis is our and our client's legitimate interest in business-to-business direct marketing (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR and EU GDPR). We have weighed this interest against your interests: we only contact people in a business role at companies, keep the number of emails low and stop immediately if you object.

5. Who receives the data

We do not sell your data. If you agree to a meeting with our client, we pass on the details needed for that meeting to that client.

Service providers who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements:

• Email and office software provider
• Email verification service
• Hosting provider (customer relationship management system, servers in the EU)
• AI service provider (researching company information; we keep personal data out of these tools wherever possible)
• Network and security provider

The AI service provider and the network and security provider are based in the United States; the email and office software provider may also process data there. Transfers take place on the basis of adequacy regulations (such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension, where the provider is certified) or standard contractual clauses.

On request, we tell you the names of the providers who process your data.

6. How long we keep it

• Contact details without a reply are deleted 24 months after our last contact with you.
• If you opt out, we keep only your email address, name, company domain, the date and the reason on a suppression list, permanently. This is the only way to make sure you are never contacted again.

7. Your rights

You can object to direct marketing at any time, without giving a reason. Reply "no" to any of our emails or write to privacy@aldertonpartners.co.uk.

You also have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. We answer requests within one month.

You can complain to a supervisory authority, in the UK to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk), or in Germany to the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (ldi.nrw.de).
