This policy explains what personal information Al Topping ("we", "us", "our") collects when you use altopping.com, why we collect it, and what your rights are. We've written it in plain English — if anything is unclear, just ask.
Al Topping is the data controller for the personal information collected through this website. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, contact us using the form on our website.
Information you give us. When you complete a contact form, register for a workshop or webinar, or email us, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, email address, phone number, company name and the content of your message.
Information we collect automatically. When you visit the site we may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view and how you arrived at the site. Most of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies, and only where you have given consent.
We use cookies to run the site and — with your permission — to understand how it's used and to measure our marketing. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time using the "Manage cookies" option.
If you decline, non-essential cookies are not set, and our analytics run in a privacy-preserving mode without identifying you.
We use your information to:
Under UK data protection law, our lawful bases are: your consent (for non-essential cookies and marketing emails), legitimate interests (to respond to enquiries and improve our services), performance of a contract (to deliver services you've engaged us for), and legal obligation (where the law requires it).
We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted providers who help us run the business, including website hosting (Webflow), analytics (Google), advertising measurement (Meta), and our customer-relationship and email platforms. These providers process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements.
Some of these providers are based outside the UK, including in the United States. Where your data is transferred abroad, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement or Standard Contractual Clauses.
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it — to respond to your enquiry, deliver a service, meet legal obligations, or for as long as you remain subscribed to updates. When we no longer need it, we delete or anonymise it.
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, contact us using the form on our website..
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to keep your data safe.
Our site may link to third-party websites. We're not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so we encourage you to read their policies.
This website and our services are intended for business users and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
