Who I am

This website is run by Christopher Usina, who is based in the UK. It introduces my work and the ventures I run or help build. I am the data controller for the personal information described in this policy.

If you have any questions about this policy or your information, email chris@chrisusina.com.

What information I collect

When you get in touch

If you message me, email me or contact me on social media, I receive your name, your contact details and anything you include in your message, such as your career goals or questions about a programme.

When you book a time

If you book a session or workshop through my online booking page, I receive your name, email address, the time you chose and any notes you add.

If you become a client or learner

I keep the information needed to deliver what you signed up for. This may include session notes, documents you share with me such as your CV, and payment and invoice records.

When you visit this website

This website does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. Like most websites, the hosting provider records basic technical information, such as your browser type, to keep the site secure and working.

How I use your information

  • To reply to your messages and answer your questions.
  • To arrange, deliver and follow up on sessions, workshops and programmes.
  • To keep financial records and meet my legal obligations.
  • To improve my services, for example by understanding which topics people ask about most.

I will never sell your personal information. I will only send you marketing messages if you have agreed to receive them, and you can stop them at any time.

My lawful bases for using your information

  • Legitimate interests: replying to enquiries and running my services in a reasonable way.
  • Contract: taking steps you ask for before you sign up, and delivering the service you have booked.
  • Legal obligation: meeting my legal and regulatory obligations.
  • Consent: where I ask for it, for example before sharing a testimonial or sending updates. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Third parties

Your information may be handled by:

  • Messaging and social media services, if you contact me through them.
  • Calendar, booking and email services.
  • Domain and website hosting services.

How long I keep your information

  • Enquiries that do not lead to a booking: up to 12 months.
  • Client and learner records, including invoices: 6 years after our last session, to meet legal requirements.

If you would like me to delete your information sooner, ask me and I will do so where the law allows.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

  • ask for a copy of the information I hold about you;
  • ask me to correct information that is wrong or incomplete;
  • ask me to delete your information;
  • ask me to limit how I use your information, or object to how I use it;
  • ask for your information in a format you can take elsewhere;
  • withdraw your consent where I rely on it.

To use any of these rights, email chris@chrisusina.com. I will reply within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how I have handled your information, please contact me first so I can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
