We value your privacy as much as you do.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20th April 2025

The Optima Collective CIC is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website, how we use it, and your rights when it comes to your data.

We’ve tried to keep it clear and simple — no confusing legal jargon, just what you need to know.

Who we are

We are The Optima Collective CIC, a community interest company based in the UK. Our work supports individuals in self-awareness, personal growth and purpose-led change, through workshops, events and 1:1 support.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can contact us at info@theoptimacollective.org

What information we collect

We may collect personal information from you when you:

• Fill in a form (e.g. register interest, sign up for a workshop)

• Send us an email

• Book an event through a third-party platform (like Eventbrite)

• Visit our website (via cookies — more below)

The information we collect may include:

• Your name

• Email address

• Phone number (if provided)

• Organisation (if relevant)

• Any additional info you choose to share with us (e.g. in an enquiry or message)

We only collect what we need to communicate with you, deliver services, or improve our website.

How we use your information

We use your data to:

• Respond to enquiries

• Manage event bookings and send reminders

• Keep you updated about relevant programmes or workshops (only if you opt in)

• Improve our services and website

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Marketing and newsletters

If you’ve opted in to receive updates from us, we may occasionally email you about upcoming workshops, resources or news. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of our emails, or by contacting us directly.

Cookies and website analytics

Like most websites, we use basic cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how people use our site. This helps us improve user experience — but it doesn’t tell us who you are.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies when you visit our site.

How we store your data

We store your personal data securely and only for as long as necessary. We use password-protected systems and secure third-party tools (such as Google Workspace, Mailchimp, and Eventbrite) to manage our data.

If you’ve filled in a form or sent us a message, your details may be stored in these systems so we can respond to you or send follow-up information.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR law, you have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you

• Ask us to correct or delete your personal information

• Withdraw your consent at any time

• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if needed

If you’d like to access, update, or delete your data, just email us at info@theoptimacollective.org.uk.

Updates to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or ways we handle data. The latest version will always be available on our website.
