Privacy Notice
Who we are
This website is operated by FOB GLOBAL CONSULTING LTD, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 17385423. Our registered office is 1 Brook Avenue, Wembley, England, HA9 8PH. For the purposes of UK data protection law, FOB GLOBAL CONSULTING LTD is the controller of personal data collected through this website.
Information we collect
We collect personal data that you choose to give us when you make an enquiry, primarily through the contact form on this website or by contacting us directly by phone or email. This may include:
- Your name
- Your organisation (where provided)
- Your email address
- The content of your message and any details you choose to share
- Basic technical information generated by your device or browser when you visit the site (such as approximate location, browser type or pages viewed), where this is collected by our hosting or analytics infrastructure
The contact form on this website is configured to open your own email application so that your enquiry is sent directly to us by email. We do not currently operate a server-side database that stores form submissions independently of that email.
How we use your information
We use the personal data you provide to:
- Respond to your enquiry and correspond with you about it
- Understand the nature of the work you are considering, so that we can give a useful response
- Maintain a record of business correspondence, where reasonably necessary
- Meet our legal, accounting and regulatory obligations
We do not use enquiry information for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell personal data.
Our legal basis for processing
In plain terms, we rely on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:
- Legitimate interests — responding to enquiries you send us is a normal and expected part of running an advisory business, and we consider this a legitimate interest that does not override your rights.
- Contract — where an enquiry develops into a formal engagement, we process information as necessary to discuss, agree and deliver that engagement.
- Legal obligation — where we are required to keep certain records for accounting, tax or other regulatory purposes.
How long we keep information
We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to it and for a limited period afterwards in case of follow-up, and we delete or anonymise it once it is no longer needed, unless we are required to retain records for longer for legal, accounting or regulatory reasons.
Sharing your information
We do not sell or rent personal data. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who support our email, hosting or professional services (for example accountants or IT support), where this is necessary to run our business and only to the extent required. We do not transfer personal data outside the UK in the ordinary course of handling website enquiries; if this ever changes, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you generally have the right to:
- Ask us what personal data we hold about you and why
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete information we no longer have a valid reason to keep
- Object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing
- Ask for a copy of information you have provided, in a portable format
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.
Cookies and analytics
This website is designed to work without relying on non-essential cookies. If analytics or similar technologies are introduced in the future, this notice will be updated to explain what is used and how to control it.

The Information Commissioner's Office
If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, we would welcome the opportunity to address them directly first. You also have the right to raise a concern with the UK's independent regulator for data protection, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk. This notice is provided for general information and does not constitute legal advice.
