This policy explains how we look after your personal information and your rights under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
This website is operated by Malar Stripe Ltd (“Malar Stripe”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in England and Wales.
Malar Stripe is the “data controller” responsible for your personal data when you use this website or make an enquiry.
We collect the information you give us when you complete our enquiry / “qualify” form or otherwise contact us. Depending on your answers, this may include:
We do not ask for special category data (such as health information), and we ask that you do not send it to us.
Like most websites, our hosting providers may also automatically process limited technical information (such as your IP address and browser type) to deliver the site securely and reliably.
| What we do | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Respond to your enquiry and assess what funded/accredited training you may be eligible for | Your consent, and our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries about our services |
| Contact you by email or phone to follow up on your enquiry | Your consent (given via the form), which you can withdraw at any time |
| Keep business records and meet legal, accounting and regulatory obligations | Our legitimate interests and compliance with legal obligations |
| Protect the website from spam and misuse | Our legitimate interests in keeping the service secure |
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run our business, acting on our instructions as our “processors”:
We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect our rights, property or safety.
We aim to keep your data within the UK and European Economic Area. Where a provider processes data outside the UK/EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or equivalent standard contractual clauses) to protect it.
We keep enquiry information for as long as necessary to respond to you, to provide our services, and to keep appropriate business records — after which it is securely deleted or anonymised. You can ask us to delete your information sooner at any time (see your rights below).
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@malarstripe.com. We will respond within one month.
We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes:
Analytics and advertising cookies are switched off by default. When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject them, and we use Google Consent Mode so those tags collect nothing until you accept. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie preferences option, or by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser.
Loading Google Fonts also involves a request to Google’s servers, which may process your IP address to serve the fonts.
Enquiries are transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and stored in a database protected by access controls so that submissions cannot be read publicly. Access to your data is limited to those who need it to help with your enquiry.
If you have a concern about how we handle your data, please contact us first so we can help. You also have the right to complain to the UK regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO):
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised. Please check back periodically.
