Email Marketing is one of the biggest challenges for businesses and one which we get lots of questions about.

We have created this booklet with 7 things you should be doing to make sure you are GDPR compliant. You can get it here - https://www.rfr.bz/fb6d2b3

We use Brevo as our mail provider so your data is stored within the UK or EEA. We don't share your information with any other organisations and won't use it for anything other than the newsletter and providing your freebie.

🔒 Did you realise that GDPR requires you to be able to evidence your compliance?

The real question - How can you showcase this compliance? A great starting point is having well-defined policies and procedures. This shows you're aware of what the legislation demands and that you're transparent with how you collect, share, store and secure personal information. 📝

A prime example? A privacy policy on your website - a legal requirement, no less!

Take a glance at your website's privacy policy. Is it straightforward? Does it encompass all the necessary components? Is it easy to read and understand? 🤔

If you're unsure and need a handy checklist to verify if your privacy policy hits the mark, just send us a DM or a WhatsApp message with your email. We'd be more than happy to send across a checklist to assist you.

Let's work together to make data protection simpler and more efficient! 📈

Sometimes It HAS To Be Bespoke!

We are working with a small business at the moment as they needed policies to support working with a bigger company. This is not an unusual request as more organisations are asked to provide documentation to support the way they use information.

We created a bespoke policy, based on how they work and supporting the other documents that they may have in place, such as a staff handbook. The policy we create can then be used in its entirety or if the organisation is asked for a specific policy, they can just lift that section from the policy we created. As we are regularly creating policies from scratch, we know, so save your staff team the worry of looking at a blank page :-)

Your policies should reflect what you do rather than just be a best practice one as the Information Commissioner's Office dislikes organisations having policies which are not followed.

Do you have a Data Breach Policy in place?

Do you know the difference between Special Category data and sensitive personal data?

Here's a little video to help you.

What is the difference between sensitive personal information and special category information under GDPR?

18/05/2026

I've been fortunate enough over the years to work closely with organisations across many different industries - from charities and membership organisations to market research companies and software developers. This diverse experience allows me to understand the unique needs various businesses have when it comes to protecting sensitive data and gaining more business.

I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach; instead I customise data protection and information security practices based on each client's specific operations, systems, data collection processes, and risk factors. Whether your organisation works with large volumes of personal information, intellectual property, financial information, or other sensitive data, I've likely helped organisations with similar needs develop practical, cost effective solutions.

Want to find out more, visit our website or send me a message to connect for an intro call to explore your options and how I can help establish the right data protection plan. My goal is always to make compliance as easy as possible so you can focus on your core business. Reach out anytime!

I understand that data protection and information security often feel like just another set of tedious tasks on the endless to-do list. They're seen as non-essentials that don't directly help grow your business, so they get pushed aside until something goes wrong or someone demands action (which rarely happens during those mythical "slow periods," does it?). Unlike marketing efforts where you can instantly see the payoff for your work and investment, there are no obvious tangible returns for securing data.

But what if these measures could actually drive your business forward? We've been working with an American Membership Organisation to plug their GDPR compliance holes. As part of that, we implemented a system for giving them some data insights into how their affiliates use the information accessed through their membership. They never had visibility into this before.

With this new data analysis in place, they can quantify and demonstrate the value their membership provides affiliates. It provides them with hard evidence of the membership's worth and they are now better positioned to attract more affiliates once the data rolls in. This small change we have suggested could bring them hundreds of thousands of dollars in added revenue.
