Privacy Policy: Enable Thriving Business

Welcome to the Privacy Policy for Enable Thriving Business (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Acts 1988–2018. This privacy policy informs you how we look after your personal data when you visit our website, engage our services, or interact with our content.

Who we are

Enable Thriving Business (ETB) provides programmatic consultancy services designed to support micro and small businesses in navigating complex strategic and operational challenges. Our methodology focuses on empowering internal teams to enhance their own working practices and effectiveness. Rather than providing static training or traditional “walk-away” management consulting, we work collaboratively with organisations to develop their inherent social capital and leveraging technology in practical, effective ways. Our objective is to enable businesses to independently sustain their own growth and transition into thriving, resilient enterprises.

The Data We Collect

We may collect, use, and store different kinds of personal data about you, including:

  • Identity Data: Name, job title, and professional role.
  • Contact Data: Email address and telephone numbers.
  • Business Insights: Information provided regarding your strategic challenges, team dynamics, and operational goals.
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage patterns on our website.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use it for:

  • Performance of a Contract: To deliver the strategy and leadership consultancy services you have engaged.
  • Legitimate Interests: To provide you with relevant blog content, whitepapers, and updates that help your SME thrive.
  • Consent: For sending direct marketing communications where you have opted in (e.g., Substack newsletters).

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data Sharing and Security

Security: We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way.

Third Parties: We do not sell your data. We may share data with trusted service providers (e.g., IT support, Substack, or CRM tools) who are contractually bound to protect your information.

Password: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

This privacy policy informs you about the rights you have under certain circumstances under data protection laws, including the right to:

  • Withdraw consent at any time.
  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction or erasure of your personal data.
  • Object to processing or request restriction of processing.
