Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Global Red Thread collects and uses personal information when you contact us through this website.

What personal data we collect
We only collect the information you choose to give us. Through our contact form and our website chatbot this may include:
- Your name
- Your company and job role
- Your email address and, if you provide it, your telephone number
- The content of the message or enquiry you send us
We do not collect special category data and we do not ask for payment details.
How we use your data
We use your information solely to respond to your enquiry and to continue any conversation you have started with us. We do not use it for unsolicited marketing.
If you opt in via the marketing consent checkbox, we may also use your contact details to send you occasional updates, insights, and marketing communications from Global Red Thread. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us at connect@globalredthread.com.
Our lawful basis is legitimate interests — responding to a business enquiry you have initiated — and, where relevant, taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
How long we keep it
We retain enquiry data for 12 months from your last contact with us, after which it is deleted.
Sharing your data
We never sell your personal data and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. Information is only accessible to the people at Global Red Thread who need it to respond to you, and to the service providers who host this website and our enquiry records on our behalf.
AI-assisted chatbot
This website uses an AI-assisted chatbot. Conversations may be processed by AI tools in order to generate a response. AI is used to support, not replace, human judgement — every enquiry is reviewed by a person. No conversation data is used to train AI models.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Have inaccurate data corrected (rectification)
- Ask us to delete your data (erasure)
- Receive your data in a portable format (portability)
- Object to our processing of your data
To exercise any of these rights, email connect@globalredthread.com. We aim to respond within one month.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
