Lawful basis

Depending on the context, Summers Solutions may rely on legitimate interests, steps taken before entering a contract, performance of a contract, consent where specifically requested, or legal obligations.

Legitimate interests may include replying to business enquiries, managing partner conversations, protecting the website, improving services and keeping proportionate business records.

Processors and service providers

Personal data may be processed using trusted services needed to run the website and business operations. These may include website hosting, email providers, analytics if added later, Supabase for protected tool access where applicable, and Vercel or GitHub infrastructure for deployment and site operation.

Only services that are reasonably needed for the website, tools or business administration should be used.

Sharing personal data

Summers Solutions does not sell personal data.

Data may be shared with trusted providers, contractors or specialist collaborators only where needed for website operation, service delivery, administration, security, legal compliance or the enquiry you have made.

If a project requires input from a trusted specialist network, only relevant information should be shared and only where it is appropriate for the work being discussed or delivered.

International processing

Some providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where this happens, Summers Solutions aims to use providers that rely on appropriate safeguards, contractual protections or recognised transfer mechanisms.

Retention

Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, project, service relationship, partner conversation, legal requirement, accounting need, security purpose or business administration reason.

Unneeded enquiry data may be deleted or minimised when it is no longer useful or necessary.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to the use of, or receive a portable copy of your personal data.

To exercise a privacy right, contact help@summerssolutions.co.uk. Summers Solutions may need to verify your identity before responding.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how your data is handled, please contact Summers Solutions first so the issue can be reviewed.

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
