Who we are

We are Beaumont Communications SARL. Our website address is: https://talktobeaumont.com.

We know privacy and security is a major concern. We have set out the procedures we use for safeguarding your personal data. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully and check it occasionally as it could change from time to time. This privacy policy adheres to the guidance set out by The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Our privacy promise

Beaumont Communications SARL is dedicated to safeguarding your privacy online. We will only collect, store and use your personal information for specific purposes as outlined below in accordance with GDPR. We use your personal information to support and develop our connection with you. We will never sell your personal data to 3rd parties. You may contact us at any time with any privacy queries or concerns and to see the personal data you have given us and request modification.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This can include names, addresses, email addresses, job title, company, mobile numbers, social media handles and much more.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

When you register on our website or contact us through the contact form, we may ask for data such as your name, e-mail address, billing address, and contact details. Beaumont Communications SARL keeps a record of this information for tax purposes and for ensuring we fulfil our contract with you.

The only personal information we hold is what customers provide to us when they place an order on our website, sign up for the newsletter, contact us through our contact form, or sign a contract.

We sell it to nobody; however it is stored on relevant systems such as Asana, Mailchimp, Serpsat, Hubspot CRM, Zoho books, WordPress, Outlook, Google Docs, and Google Analytics which are GDPR compliant. If we are required by law to share any information, we will check with each party concerned to ensure they are happy for that to happen. An example of this would be if HMRC requested an audit.

We store sensitive data for as long as projects are in progress and customers remain active clients. Email addresses provided via the contact form are stored until consent is withdrawn, re-consent is requested every 2 years. Information required for tax and legal requirements are held for 7 years as a requirement by law.

We keep a record of any orders you make from us, so we can help to deal with any enquiries or problems you may have in the future, and so we can ensure that any information that we send to you is appropriate. Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

We keep a record of any e-mail communication you send us, so we can track any problems or concerns you’ve had.

In addition to personal information, our website uses Google Analytics to ensure we are meeting your customer needs. Google Analytics stores usage data which may include your IP address, geographical location, referral source, length of visit and page views – although a lot of this is aggregated data. The legal basis for this is legitimate interest for the basis of ensuring we are meeting customer needs.

We may process the information you submit to us when you contact us for the purposes of ensuring we answer your query effectively.

Beaumont Communications SARL kindly requests that you do not supply any other person’s personal data to us unless required by law or you have their explicit consent to do so.
