Privacy & Cookies Policy

Last updated: 19 July 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy & Cookies Policy explains how Eurotarget Business Scouts Ltd collects, uses, stores and protects personal data when you visit our website at eurotarget.org, contact us by email or otherwise communicate with us in connection with our business activities.

Eurotarget Business Scouts Ltd respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently.

This Policy applies to visitors to eurotarget.org and to individuals who choose to contact us using the contact details provided on the website.

2. Who We Are

The data controller responsible for the processing described in this Policy is:

Eurotarget Business Scouts Ltd
Company number: 12229552
Registered in England and Wales

Registered office:
86 Amesbury Road
Manchester
M9 6JF
United Kingdom

Email: info@eurotarget.org

In this Policy, “Eurotarget”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Eurotarget Business Scouts Ltd.

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer because our current activities do not require us to do so. Questions concerning privacy or the use of personal data should be sent to the email address above.

3. Applicable Data Protection Law

As a company established in the United Kingdom, Eurotarget processes personal data primarily in accordance with:

  • the UK General Data Protection Regulation;
  • the Data Protection Act 2018;
  • the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended; and
  • other applicable United Kingdom privacy and electronic communications legislation.

Eurotarget provides business services that may be relevant to organisations in the United Kingdom, the European Union and the European Economic Area.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation may therefore also apply to particular processing activities where the conditions governing its territorial scope are met, including where Eurotarget specifically offers services to individuals located in the European Union or European Economic Area or monitors their behaviour there.

The fact that the website can be accessed from a country within the European Union or European Economic Area does not, by itself, mean that every use of the website is governed simultaneously by both the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR.

Where the EU GDPR applies to a particular processing activity, references in this Policy to applicable data protection law include the EU GDPR.

4. Nature of Our Website

Eurotarget.org is a simple business-to-business information website.

The website:

  • does not contain a contact form;
  • does not provide user registration or customer accounts;
  • does not provide an online booking facility;
  • does not process online payments;
  • does not operate a newsletter subscription form;
  • does not allow visitors to upload documents or other content; and
  • does not directly collect names, email addresses or company details through website forms.

The website includes links and call-to-action buttons that allow visitors to contact Eurotarget by email.

Clicking an email link may open the email application installed on your device. Merely clicking the link does not transmit your name, email address or message to Eurotarget.

We receive your information only when you choose to prepare and send an email to us.

5. Personal Data We May Process

Depending on how you use the website or communicate with us, we may process the following limited categories of information.

5.1 Information contained in emails

When you voluntarily send us an email, we may receive:

  • your name;
  • your email address;
  • your company or organisation;
  • your professional role or job title;
  • your telephone number, where you include it;
  • the content of your message;
  • your email signature;
  • attachments that you choose to send; and
  • other information that you voluntarily provide.

Please avoid sending special category personal data or other sensitive information unless it is necessary for your enquiry and you have a lawful basis for providing it.

5.2 Technical website information

When you visit eurotarget.org, limited technical information may be recorded automatically by our hosting provider, security systems, WordPress installation or related website infrastructure.

This information may include:

  • your Internet Protocol address;
  • the date and time of your visit;
  • the pages or resources requested;
  • browser type and version;
  • operating system or device type;
  • referring website or source;
  • server response codes;
  • diagnostic information;
  • security events; and
  • information about suspected misuse or attempted unauthorised access.

This technical information is generally used to deliver the website, maintain its stability, investigate errors and protect it against fraud, abuse and cyber-security threats.

5.3 Cookie preferences and consent information

CookieHub may process information relating to your cookie choices, including:

  • the consent options you selected;
  • the categories or purposes that you accepted or rejected;
  • the date and time of your choice;
  • a consent identifier or token;
  • technical browser or device information; and
  • information required to demonstrate or manage your consent.

The precise information recorded depends on the CookieHub configuration and the features enabled on our account.

6. How and Why We Use Personal Data

We use personal data only where we have an appropriate purpose and lawful basis.

6.1 Responding to enquiries

We use information contained in emails to:

  • read and respond to your enquiry;
  • provide information about our services;
  • discuss possible business cooperation;
  • arrange further communication;
  • prepare a proposal where requested; and
  • take steps connected with a potential contract or business relationship.

The lawful basis is normally that the processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract.

Where your enquiry does not relate directly to a potential contract, we may rely on our legitimate interests in responding to communications and operating our consultancy business.

6.2 Managing business relationships

Where an enquiry leads to an ongoing professional or commercial relationship, we may use relevant contact and correspondence information to:

  • manage the relationship;
  • communicate about agreed or proposed services;
  • maintain appropriate business records;
  • administer contracts;
  • resolve questions or disputes; and
  • protect our legal and commercial interests.

The lawful bases may include performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations and our legitimate interests in managing our business and professional relationships.

6.3 Operating and securing the website

We may process technical information where necessary to:

  • provide and display the website;
  • maintain website availability;
  • diagnose technical problems;
  • detect malicious activity;
  • prevent unauthorised access;
  • investigate security incidents; and
  • protect Eurotarget, our website and website visitors.

We rely on our legitimate interests in operating a secure, reliable and functional business website.

Some technologies that are essential to the operation, security or delivery of the website may also be used without consent where permitted by applicable electronic communications legislation.

6.4 Non-essential cookies and similar technologies

Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary or otherwise covered by a legal exception, they are used only after you have made an appropriate choice through the CookieHub consent banner.

Where personal data is processed through such technologies, the lawful basis is normally your consent.

You may refuse or withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

6.5 Compliance and legal claims

We may process and retain information where necessary to:

  • comply with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements;
  • respond to a lawful request from a competent authority;
  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
  • investigate suspected wrongdoing; or
  • protect our legal rights.

The lawful basis may be compliance with a legal obligation or our legitimate interests in protecting our rights and managing legal risks.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on or accessed from your computer, smartphone or other device when you use a website.

Similar technologies may include scripts, tags, pixels, local storage and other mechanisms that store information on or retrieve information from a user’s device.

Eurotarget uses CookieHub as its consent management platform.

CookieHub helps us to:

  • display information about cookies and similar technologies;
  • request and record visitors’ choices;
  • prevent or control the activation of non-essential technologies;
  • allow visitors to change or withdraw their choices; and
  • maintain records of consent where required.

When you first visit the website, the CookieHub banner allows you to accept or reject relevant categories of non-essential cookies.

You can review or change your choices at any time by opening the CookieHub privacy or cookie settings panel available on the website, normally through the cookie settings link or icon.

7.1 Cookie categories

Depending on the technologies identified during CookieHub’s website scans, cookies may be classified into categories such as:

Necessary cookies
These cookies or technologies are required for the website to operate, provide a service requested by the user, maintain security or remember privacy choices. They cannot always be disabled through the consent panel.

Preference cookies
These technologies remember choices that affect how the website behaves or appears. They are used only where present on the website and where the applicable consent or exemption requirements are met.

Statistics cookies
These technologies may help website operators understand how visitors use a website. They are used only where present and where permitted following the visitor’s consent or under another applicable legal exception.

Marketing cookies
These technologies may be used to track visitors or support relevant advertising. Eurotarget uses them only where they are actually present on the website and where the visitor has provided the required consent.

The inclusion of a category in the CookieHub interface or in this Policy does not necessarily mean that eurotarget.org currently uses cookies belonging to that category.

7.2 Current cookie declaration

A detailed and automatically updated declaration of the cookies and similar technologies detected on eurotarget.org, including their providers, purposes, categories and durations, is displayed below through CookieHub.

The CookieHub declaration should be treated as the current source of information about the individual cookies and technologies detected on the website.

Because website components, WordPress plugins and third-party services may change, the cookies detected on the website may also change. CookieHub periodically scans the website so that the declaration can be updated.

7.3 Browser controls

You may also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Browser controls may affect cookies already stored on your device.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of the website, including technologies required to remember your privacy choices or maintain website security.

8. Sharing Personal Data

We do not sell or rent personal data.

We may share limited personal data with service providers where this is necessary to operate the website, manage communications or fulfil the purposes described in this Policy.

Our principal service providers may include:

8.1 Hostinger

Hostinger provides website hosting and related infrastructure. It may process technical information such as IP addresses, server logs, security events and information required to deliver and protect the website.

8.2 CookieHub ehf.

CookieHub provides the website’s cookie consent management platform and may process cookie preference and consent information on our behalf.

CookieHub is based in Iceland, which is part of the European Economic Area.

8.3 Google Workspace

We may use Google Workspace to receive, store and manage email communications sent to our business email address.

Google may process email addresses, message content, attachments, metadata and other information required to provide its email and productivity services.

8.4 Professional advisers and authorities

Where necessary, information may also be disclosed to:

  • accountants and tax advisers;
  • legal advisers;
  • insurers;
  • IT and cyber-security providers;
  • courts and tribunals;
  • regulatory bodies;
  • law enforcement authorities; and
  • other public authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

Service providers acting on our behalf are expected to process personal data only for authorised purposes and subject to appropriate contractual, confidentiality and security obligations.

9. International Data Transfers

Eurotarget is established in the United Kingdom and may use service providers operating in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area and other countries.

The United Kingdom and the European Economic Area have separate legal regimes governing international transfers of personal data.

Where a transfer of personal data is subject to transfer restrictions, we use an appropriate transfer mechanism where required. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • a United Kingdom adequacy regulation;
  • a European Commission adequacy decision;
  • the United Kingdom International Data Transfer Agreement;
  • the United Kingdom Addendum to the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses;
  • European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses;
  • appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards; or
  • a specific legal exception where its conditions are genuinely satisfied.

Where required, we or our service providers may also assess the laws and practices applicable in the destination country and implement supplementary safeguards.

Information concerning the safeguards relevant to a particular transfer may be requested using the contact details in Section 2.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security and dispute-resolution requirements.

The following general retention principles apply:

Email enquiries

Where an enquiry does not lead to a business relationship, we will normally retain the correspondence for no longer than two years after the last meaningful communication, unless there is a legitimate reason to keep it for longer.

We may delete enquiries earlier where they are no longer relevant.

Client and contractual correspondence

Where an enquiry leads to a contract or continuing business relationship, relevant correspondence and records may be retained for the duration of the relationship and afterwards for the period reasonably required to comply with legal obligations or address potential claims.

Accounting and tax records

Records required for United Kingdom accounting, company or tax purposes may normally be retained for up to six years after the end of the relevant financial period, or for longer where required by law.

Technical and security logs

Technical logs are retained for the periods applied by our hosting and security providers or for as long as reasonably necessary to maintain security, diagnose problems and investigate incidents.

Cookie consent records

Cookie preference and consent information is retained for the period configured through CookieHub and for as long as reasonably necessary to administer visitor choices and demonstrate compliance with applicable consent requirements.

Objection and suppression records

Where you ask us not to contact you or object to a particular use of your information, we may retain limited information about that request to ensure that your preference continues to be respected.

When information is no longer required, it will be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of where reasonably practicable.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • accidental loss;
  • unlawful disclosure;
  • misuse;
  • alteration; and
  • destruction.

These measures may include controlled access to business systems, password protection, account security controls, software updates, secure hosting, backup arrangements and the use of reputable service providers.

No method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature and risk of the processing.

12. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances and the applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • request confirmation that we process your personal data;
  • request access to your personal data;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion of your personal data;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • object at any time to the use of personal data for direct marketing;
  • request the transfer of information you provided to us where the right to data portability applies;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
  • lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to conditions, limitations and exemptions under applicable law.

To exercise a right, contact:

info@eurotarget.org

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and ensure that personal data is not disclosed to an unauthorised person.

We normally respond to valid requests within one month. In certain circumstances, the applicable law allows additional time or permits us to refuse or charge a reasonable fee for a request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Where this occurs, we will explain our decision.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Cookie consent may also be withdrawn or changed directly through the CookieHub settings panel.

13. Complaints

We encourage you to contact us first if you have concerns about how we handle personal data.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom supervisory authority is the:

Information Commissioner’s Office

Further information is available through the ICO’s official website.

European Union or European Economic Area

Where the EU GDPR applies, you may have the right to complain to the supervisory authority in the EU or EEA country in which:

  • you normally reside;
  • you work; or
  • the alleged infringement took place.

A list of European supervisory authorities is available through the European Data Protection Board.

Submitting a complaint does not affect any other administrative or judicial remedy available to you.

14. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

Eurotarget does not use information collected through eurotarget.org to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning visitors.

The website does not conduct behavioural profiling of visitors on behalf of Eurotarget unless a technology clearly identified in the CookieHub declaration is enabled with the visitor’s required consent.

15. Children’s Privacy

Eurotarget.org is a business-to-business website intended for companies, professionals and other business audiences.

It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly use the website to collect personal data from children.

A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided personal data to Eurotarget may contact us at info@eurotarget.org.

16. Third-Party Websites

The website may contain links to external websites or services operated by third parties.

Eurotarget does not control those third-party websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices, security or content.

When you follow an external link, the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies apply. We recommend reviewing those policies before providing personal data or accepting non-essential technologies.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy & Cookies Policy to reflect:

  • changes to the website;
  • changes to CookieHub or other service providers;
  • changes to our processing practices;
  • changes to applicable law or regulatory guidance; or
  • improvements to the clarity of the information provided.

The current version will be published on eurotarget.org and identified by the “Last updated” date at the beginning of the document.

Material changes may be brought to visitors’ attention through an appropriate notice on the website where reasonably necessary.
