We collect personal data when you interact directly with this website. We do not collect data passively beyond standard hosting logs. Specifically:
When you use the Contact page, the Speaking enquiry form, or any general enquiry form, we collect the information you submit: typically your name, email address, and the content of your message.
When you complete the Hidden Profit Report questionnaire, we collect your business context (company name, website, revenue range, headcount, industry) and your rated and open ended responses. This information is used solely to prepare your personalised report and to assess whether our services are a fit for your business. It is not sold or shared with third parties.
The Boardroom Profit Diagnostic tool collects your name, email, company, turnover range, sector, country, and your diagnostic score. This is used to generate your results and, where you have given consent, to follow up with relevant information.
If you subscribe to receive leadership insights, we collect your name and email address. This information is stored in our email marketing platform, Acumbamail, and used to send you the content you signed up for.
If you register for a CEO Boardroom event, we collect your name, email, and company details in order to send you joining instructions.
This website uses only strictly necessary cookies required for core functionality such as form submission and spam prevention (Netlify Forms bot detection). We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other third party advertising or analytics cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated in advance and, where required, your consent will be requested through a cookie banner. See our separate Cookie Policy for full details.
If you subscribe to our newsletter or submit an enquiry form, your details may be added to our email marketing platform, Acumbamail, so that we can send you relevant content and, where applicable, information about our services. Every email includes a clear unsubscribe link. You can unsubscribe at any time and your data will be removed from future sends. We do not sell, rent, or trade your email address to any third party.
We process your data under the following lawful bases: consent (newsletter sign up, marketing emails), contract (delivering a paid Hidden Profit Report or engagement you have purchased), and legitimate interests (responding to enquiries you have initiated, maintaining the security of this website).
Forms on this site are processed using Netlify Forms, a data processor operated by Netlify, Inc. Submitted data is stored securely within our Netlify account and is not made public. We recommend you avoid submitting sensitive personal data (such as financial account numbers) through any form on this site.
Payment for the Hidden Profit Report is processed by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant third party payment processor. We do not receive or store your card details; these are handled entirely by Stripe in accordance with their own privacy policy.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected. Enquiry and questionnaire data is retained for as long as you remain a prospective or active client, plus a reasonable period afterwards for record keeping, and is deleted or anonymised when no longer required. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe. Financial records relating to paid services are retained in accordance with UK tax and accounting law, typically six years.
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact vijay@vijaymistri.com. We will respond within one calendar month.
Some of our service providers, including Netlify and Acumbamail, may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we rely on providers who maintain appropriate safeguards, such as UK adequacy regulations or Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data remains protected to UK GDPR standards.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including secure hosting, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and restricted access to stored data. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
This website and its services are intended for business professionals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly.
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
