BARDO Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2025

​

At BARDO Inclusive, we’re committed to protecting your privacy and respecting your personal data.

 

Whether you’re exploring our courses, attending an event, subscribing to our newsletter, or working with us professionally, we want you to feel informed and confident about how your information is handled.

​

We believe inclusion starts with trust — and that includes how we treat your data.

1. Who We Are

BARDO Inclusive is a UK-based organisation offering inclusion-focused learning, coaching, events, and consultancy services. Our registered address is:

78A Farleigh Road, Wingfield, Wiltshire, BA14 9LG


Email: georgina@bardo.co.uk 

​

We are the Data Controller for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

2. What Information We Collect

We collect personal data when you:

  • Sign up for a course, event, or newsletter

  • Fill in a contact form

This may include:

  • Name and contact details (email, phone, address)

  • Job role, organisation, and sector

  • Access needs or dietary preferences (when relevant for in-person events)

  • Payment details (processed securely via third-party providers)

  • IP address and website usage data (via cookies and analytics tools)

 

We do not collect or store sensitive data such as racial or ethnic origin, health data, or beliefs, unless you choose to share it (e.g., in a coaching or learning context). If we do, we’ll always ask for your explicit consent.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data to:

  • Deliver courses, events, and services you’ve signed up for

  • Communicate with you about your bookings or enquiries

  • Send you updates, resources, or offers (only with your consent)

  • Improve our website and user experience

  • Meet our legal obligations (e.g., tax, accounting, safeguarding)

 

We do not sell or rent your data to anyone. Ever.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases to process your data:

  • Consent – when you sign up to receive our emails or opt into a service

  • Contract – when we’re providing a paid service or product

  • Legal obligation – for tax and accounting purposes

  • Legitimate interest – to improve our services or stay in touch with clients (you can always opt out)

5. How We Store and Protect Your Data

We store your data securely using trusted platforms that comply with UK and international data protection standards, including:

  • Email and marketing: Mailchimp

  • Payments: Stripe through Wix Payments

  • Course hosting: Wix Online Programmes

  • Cloud storage: Google Workspace and Wix Group Files

 

We take steps to protect your data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access — including password protection, two-factor authentication, and limiting access to those who need it.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to deliver our services, meet legal requirements, and maintain accurate business records.

For example:

  • Course participation: up to 3 years

  • Email subscribers: until you unsubscribe

  • Financial records: 6 years (as required by law)

  • Client data (coaching or consultancy): 3–5 years, unless otherwise agreed

 

You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see Section 8 below).

7. Cookies & Website Analytics

You have the right to:

  • Access a copy of your personal data

  • Request correction of inaccurate data

  • Ask us to delete or restrict your data

  • Object to data processing in certain cases

  • Withdraw your consent at any time
