Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

Red Kite Search ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect through this website, why, and the rights you have over it.

1. Who we are

The data controller is Red Kite Search, P.O. Box 4827, Wilmington, DE 19899, United States.

2. Data we collect

• Information you give us: your name, work email, website URL and any message when you request an audit or contact us.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device and pages visited, collected by our hosting provider in server logs.
• Communications: emails and notes from calls and meetings with us.

3. How and why we use it

• To respond to enquiries and prepare audits and proposals (legitimate interests; steps before entering a contract).
• To deliver and manage our services (performance of a contract).
• To keep our website secure and working (legitimate interests).
• To send you marketing, only where you have agreed or where the law allows. You can opt out at any time.
• To meet legal and accounting obligations (legal obligation).

4. Cookies and third parties

This website does not currently use advertising or analytics cookies. It loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your IP address is sent to Google when the page loads. If we add analytics or marketing tools, we will update this policy and request consent where required.

5. Sharing your data

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run our business (such as hosting, email and project management tools), professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires. These providers act on our instructions.

6. International transfers

Some providers may process data outside your country. Where data leaves the UK or EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

7. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry data for up to 24 months after our last contact, and client records for as long as needed to deliver services and meet legal obligations (typically 6 years for financial records).

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any right, write to us at the address above. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

9. US state privacy rights

If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law (such as California, Colorado, Virginia or Connecticut), you may have the right to know what personal data we hold, to access, correct or delete it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing for targeted advertising. We do not sell or share personal data for advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Write to us at the address above to make a request.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
