This privacy policy explains how Empower People HR collects, uses, and protects personal data provided to us. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of visitors to our website, our clients and their employees, and any other individuals who share information with us. This notice outlines how we collect and use your information, as well as the rights you have in relation to the personal data you provide.

We may update this policy periodically without prior notice. Any significant changes will be highlighted on this webpage.

WHO WE ARE

For the purposes of this policy, “Empower People HR” refers to any consultant operating under the Empower People HR brand. Empower People HR is the owner of the Empower People HR brand and oversees the administration of central systems, including this website.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

When you access or sign up for any Empower People HR services—including mailing list resources, online forms or consultancy support—we may collect personal data such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, and other relevant information (“your information”).

We use your information for purposes including:

Managing and maintaining our relationship with you
Providing services, advice, or information you have requested
Sending you updates about our services where you have opted in
Monitoring and improving the performance of our website

If you become a client, we may also collect personal data relating to your employees (“employee information”). This information is used solely for providing HR and employment law advice and support.

When you visit our website, our server automatically records your IP address, along with the date, time, and duration of your visit. This helps us analyse website usage and improve user experience.

We also use cookies to recognise returning visitors, understand preferences, and analyse how our website is used. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device. You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.

USING YOUR INFORMATION FOR MARKETING

We may ask whether you would like to receive marketing communications from us, such as newsletters or updates. We will only send marketing materials where you have opted in. If you later decide you no longer wish to receive marketing communications, you can opt out at any time and we will remove you from our mailing lists. Employee information is never used for marketing purposes.

HOW AND WHY WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not routinely share your information with third parties outside Empower People HR.

We may disclose information only when:

You have given explicit consent
We are legally required to do so
It is necessary for legal proceedings or to protect legal rights

Our central systems—including marketing databases, cloud storage, email services, and this website—are administered by Empower People HR and may be hosted by trusted third-party providers. Information about these providers and our security measures is available upon request.

SECURITY

We use modern data storage and security practices to protect your personal information and employee information from unauthorised access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

All Empower People HR consultants and any third parties engaged to process data are required to maintain confidentiality. However, please be aware that transmitting information over the internet is not completely secure. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to our website.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. This is known as a data subject access request. You can make a request by contacting us using the contact form on this website or by speaking directly with your Empower People HR consultant.

We may ask for additional information to verify your identity before releasing any data.

You also have the right to request corrections to any inaccurate or outdated information we hold. If you believe any information is incorrect or no longer relevant, please contact us and we will update or remove it as appropriate.
