This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your data when you visit our website, contact us, or use our services. It also explains how we use cookies and similar technologies.

We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Bonzo Marketing is a UK-based marketing consultancy founded by Claire Mellon FCIM.

We may collect and store limited personal information when you:

• Contact us by email or through the website
• Request information or resources 
• Make a purchase or payment (once Bonzo Studio launches) 
• Visit the website, where standard usage data such as IP address, browser type and pages viewed may be collected for analytics or security purposes
   

We only collect information that is relevant to your enquiry or engagement with us. We do not collect sensitive personal data or knowingly collect data from children.

We use your information to:

• Respond to your enquiries or provide the services you request
• Manage our relationship with you
• Process payments or deliver digital products (where applicable)

We will never sell your data or share it for marketing purposes.

We rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:

• Legal obligation – when we must retain certain information for compliance or record-keeping
   

We keep your information only for as long as necessary to fulfil its purpose, typically for the duration of our communication or engagement plus a short period for administration.
After this, your data is securely deleted or anonymised.

Your personal data is stored securely and accessible only to authorised personnel.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from loss, misuse or unauthorised access.
Where third-party tools are used (such as hosting, analytics or payment providers), we ensure they meet equivalent data-protection standards.

Under UK data-protection law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data 
• Object to or restrict processing
