Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Who we are

CloseProtectionHire.com is a security services intermediary providing close protection, executive security, and related services through a network of vetted operators. References to “we”, “us”, or “our” in this policy refer to the operator of this website.

What data we collect

We collect only the information required to respond to your enquiry or provide the service you have requested.

Enquiry data. When you submit an enquiry, we collect the information you provide: name, contact details, destination, travel dates, and any other details you choose to include. We do not require more information than the minimum needed to assess your request.

Website analytics. We use standard web analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics. IP addresses are anonymised.

Contact information. If you contact us by email or phone, we retain that communication for as long as necessary to manage the relationship.

How we use your data

We use enquiry data solely for the purpose for which it was provided: to assess your security requirement and respond to you. We do not use your data for marketing unless you explicitly request it. We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.

Where we need to share information with an operator to arrange a service you have requested, we will seek your explicit consent first.

Data storage and security

Enquiry data is stored on systems with access controls restricted to personnel directly involved in managing your request. We do not store client data on public-facing infrastructure. Encrypted channels are used for sensitive communications.

We apply data minimisation by design: we do not collect data we do not need, and we do not retain data beyond the period required to manage a request.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have rights including:

• The right to know what data we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to processing
• The right to data portability

To exercise any of these rights, use the contact form or contact us directly. We will respond within one month.

Data retention

Enquiry data is retained for the period necessary to manage the service request and any follow-up, then deleted. Where an engagement proceeds, engagement records are retained for the legally required period for business record purposes.

Cookies

This website uses essential cookies only. No third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies are deployed. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting core site functionality.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be published on this page with an updated date. Material changes will be communicated to active clients.
