PRIVACY & DATA GOVERNANCE

Data should create trust,
not extra risk.

This plain-language draft explains the privacy approach ESG Starter intends to use as it moves from prototype to a production platform.

What we may collect

Depending on the organisation and pilot scope, ESG Starter may collect organisation contact details, ESG operational data, activity evidence, documents, photos and user-entered information. We aim to collect only what is necessary for the agreed pilot or service.

How pilot data is used

Pilot data is used to organise ESG information, show progress, prepare agreed reports and improve the product. We do not present pilot data as independently assured ESG performance unless that assurance has been obtained.

Access & sharing

Access should be limited to authorised organisation users and agreed platform administrators. Data is not shared with a partner, funder or third party without an agreed purpose and appropriate permission.

Special care for people data

Education, community and volunteer projects may involve children, parents, staff or participants. Production use will require clear role-based access, appropriate consent processes, retention rules and safeguarding procedures before such personal data is collected.

Your choices

You may ask what data is held about you, request correction, withdraw consent where applicable, or ask questions about how pilot information is handled. Until a company email is live, please contact ESG Starter through the website WhatsApp enquiry route.

Important

This is a product-stage privacy draft, not legal advice or a final compliance representation. It must be reviewed and updated before production collection of personal data.
