Privacy Policy

At Applied Resilience, we believe clarity and trust are essential. We know there’s nothing more off-putting than pages of complicated small print, so we’ve written our Privacy Policy to be clear, simple, and easy to understand.

This policy explains how we use and protect your personal information — whether you’re visiting our website www.appliedresilience.org, taking part in one of our training sessions, working with us on resilience planning, or contacting our team for advice or support.

We take your privacy seriously and handle all personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who We Are

We are the Data Controller for the personal information we collect and process.

We will never use your personal data for unrelated marketing without your clear consent.

4. Sharing Your Information

We value your privacy and keep sharing to a minimum.

We may share limited personal data only when necessary, for example:

  • With trusted service providers who help us deliver our services (e.g. email systems, web hosting)

All such partners are required to protect your information and may only use it for the agreed purpose.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with anyone.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for.
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
