Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

IM-Consulting Services Ltd (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you interact with our website (www.im-consulting.services) or receive our outreach reports.

For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), IM-Consulting Services Ltd is the Data Controller.

• Registered Office: 15 Burslem Avenue, Manchester, M20 1BD.
• Contact Email: info@im-consulting.services

2. Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following data:

• Directly from you: Name, email address, and any business information you provide via our contact or survey forms (hosted by Tally.so).
• Indirectly: Financial data, company history, and director details sourced from public records including Companies House and professional databases (e.g., FAME).

3. Legal Basis for Processing: Legitimate Interests

We process your personal data under the legal basis of Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR).

• Our Interests: IM-Consulting Services Ltd has a legitimate commercial interest in identifying UK Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that may benefit from business succession planning and AI-driven valuation insights. Our objective is to bridge the "valuation gap" in the M&A mid-market by providing owners with data-backed reports (such as our EV Snapshots and Dive-in Reports).
• Necessity: We utilize publicly available information to provide bespoke analysis to business owners. We believe business directors have a reasonable expectation that their publicly filed corporate data may be used for professional outreach.
• Your Right to Object: You have an absolute right to object to this processing. If you do not wish to receive further outreach, please click the “Unsubscribe” link in our emails or contact us at the address above.

4. How We Store Your Data

We use secure third-party processors to handle your data:

• Tally.so: Used to host our data collection forms.
• Google Workspace: Your data is stored within encrypted Google Sheets and Cloud storage.
• We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes of outreach or to provide the requested services.

5. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only share data with our service providers (Tally, Google) to the extent necessary to operate our business.

6. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you.
• Correct any inaccuracies.
• Request the deletion of your data (“Right to be Forgotten”).
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data.
• To exercise these rights, please contact us at our registered office or via email.

7. Liability Limitation

Any "EV Snapshot" or "Dive-in Report" provided via this website or email is for educational and benchmarking purposes only. They do not constitute regulated financial advice, a formal business valuation, or a recommendation for a transaction. IM-Consulting Services Ltd accepts no liability for business decisions made based on these automated outputs.
