We primarily use LinkedIn for community engagement. When visitors leave comments on the site or on one of our social media accounts 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. 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.The data collected and stored in the servers will assist Wholepal and our customers maintain and improve data security.The lawful basis for processing data for the purpose of security is legitimate interest. The servers are located in the United Kingdom and globally.

Signing up to our email notifications, newsletters and white paper downloads
‍The site allows followers, potential customers and ecosystem partners to sign up for emails and newsletters. We collect information and contact details of people who choose to interact with us on our websites. We use this data to generate new business leads, hear from interesting people, receive opportunistic job enquiries or have interesting suppliers tell us about their services.

The website contact form has six fields for collecting information.

The information collected is:
First Name and Last Name
Company Name
Role
Email Address
What you want to talk to Wholepal about

The submitted information is delivered to Wholepal via company email where it can be read by the company. The data is also stored on Webflow. We will then use the information to initiate contact with the party who contacts us. By submitting a contact request, we assume people are willing to be contacted by email, and with their consent we will then contact them by email. Wholepal email is provided by Google. The original email will be stored on Google Workspace servers (located in the EEA). No unsolicited Wholepal contact (newsletters, alerts, marketing messages) will be sent to anyone who uses the form. Wholepal’s email marketing management system is provided by Mailchimp (located in the EEA and US). The personal information provided by new business leads, interesting people, job hunters or potential suppliers via the contact form will be entered into our internal customer relationship forms and stored in the Google Workspace and transferred to Mailchimp for newsletters.
