Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This policy explains how CS Consulting handles personal information when you visit this website or get in touch. CS Consulting is an independent consultancy run by Ciaran Sheehy, who is responsible for your personal information (the “data controller”) under UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
If you have any questions, email ciaran@workwithcs.co.uk.
The short version
- This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers.
- The contact form does not send or store anything on this website. It opens your own email app with a message ready for you to send.
- If you email me, I use your details only to reply and to discuss working together.
- I never sell your information or use it for unrelated marketing.
Information I collect
When you get in touch. If you email me (directly or by using the contact form), I receive whatever you choose to include, typically your name, company, email address and details of your enquiry.
When you visit the website. Like all websites, this site is delivered by a hosting provider (Cloudflare) whose servers automatically process technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This is necessary to deliver the site securely and protect it from abuse. I do not use this information to identify you.
How I use it and why
- Responding to enquiries and discussing potential work. The lawful basis is my legitimate interest in responding to people who contact me, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
- Delivering and securing the website. The lawful basis is my legitimate interest in running a secure, working website.
- Meeting legal obligations, for example keeping business records where the law requires it.
Who I share it with
I use a small number of trusted service providers to run the business, such as website hosting (Cloudflare) and email. They process information on my behalf and only as needed to provide their services. Some providers may process data outside the UK; where that happens, appropriate safeguards required by UK data protection law are in place.
I will not sell or rent your personal information, and I will only share it with others if you ask me to or if the law requires it.
How long I keep it
I keep enquiry correspondence only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any work that follows, and to meet legal and accounting requirements. Enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted when they are no longer needed.
Cookies
This website does not set cookies or use similar tracking technologies, so there is no cookie banner. If that changes, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested where the law requires it.
Your rights
You have the right to ask for a copy of your personal information, and to ask me to correct, delete or restrict the use of it. You can also object to how I use it, or ask for it to be transferred to someone else. To make a request, email ciaran@workwithcs.co.uk. I will respond within one month.
If you are unhappy with how your information has been handled, please contact me first so I can try to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time, for example if new features are added to the website. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
