Privacy Policy

Evalesco is a UK-based provider of fractional leadership services — CFO, COO, CCO, CMO, Head of AI and Founder Support — delivered through a monthly retainer to founder-led and investor-backed companies. For the purposes of UK data protection law, Evalesco is the data controller for the personal data described in this Policy.

This Policy applies to personal data we collect through:

• Our website at evalescoleadership.com
• Discovery call bookings and our scheduling tool
• Direct enquiries by email or phone
• The course of client engagements and proposals
• Any specialists engaged from our delivery partner network, in connection with a client engagement

Identity and contact data — name, job title, company name, email address, phone number.

Enquiry and engagement data — information you share when booking a discovery call, submitting an enquiry, or during a client engagement, including business context, priorities, and materials you choose to share with us.

Technical and usage data — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically when you use our website.

Marketing preferences — where you have opted in to hear from us, your contact details and communication preferences.

We do not knowingly collect special category data, such as health, racial or ethnic origin, or political opinions, and ask that you do not share such data with us unless it is strictly necessary for an engagement.

We use personal data to:

• Respond to enquiries and arrange discovery calls
• Scope, deliver, and manage client engagements, including work carried out with delivery partners
• Invoice for services and maintain financial and accounting records
• Operate and improve our website
• Send updates or marketing communications, where you have consented or we have a legitimate interest to do so
• Meet our legal and regulatory obligations

We rely on the following lawful bases, as applicable:

• Contract — to take steps towards, and perform, an engagement with you
• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, operate our website, and run our business, provided this does not override your rights
• Consent — for marketing communications and non-essential cookies, which you may withdraw at any time
• Legal obligation — to meet accounting, tax, and other regulatory requirements

We share personal data only with:

• Service providers who support our website, scheduling, email, and accounting functions
• Delivery partners engaged to support a specific client workstream, limited to what is relevant to that engagement
• Professional advisers, such as accountants or solicitors, where reasonably necessary
• Regulators and authorities, where required by law

We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with third parties beyond what is set out above.

Our website uses:

• Essential cookies, needed for the site to function, which cannot be switched off
• Analytics cookies, used only where you have consented, to help us understand how the site is used

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Where a service provider processes personal data outside the UK, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as reliance on a jurisdiction covered by UK adequacy regulations or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including secure transmission, HTTPS, access limited to those who need it, and service providers bound by confidentiality obligations. No system is completely secure; we will notify you and, where required, the ICO of any breach affecting your data as required by law.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, including:

• Enquiry data — for a reasonable period after your enquiry, unless you ask us to delete it sooner
• Client and engagement data — for the duration of the engagement and afterwards as required for legal, accounting or contractual purposes
• Invoicing and financial records — for at least six years, in line with UK accounting and tax requirements

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request erasure of your data
• Object to, or request restriction of, processing
• Request a portable copy of data you provided under consent or contract
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on it
• Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, ICO, at ico.org.uk

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity, and we aim to respond within one month.

Our services are intended for businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

We may update this Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on our website, and the effective date above will reflect the most recent update.
