Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data SoCare Trust collects through socare-trust.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We keep it short because we collect very little.

SOCARE TRUST, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 15969647), is the data controller for the personal data described here. Our registered office is The Leadenhall Building, 122 Leadenhall Street, Level 30, London EC3V 4AB. We handle your data under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Questions about this policy or your data go to info@socare-trust.com.

What we collect

What you send us. When you email us, we keep your name, email address and anything you choose to include. If you are an investor, lender, partner or adviser, we also keep your business contact details and our correspondence with you.

What your browser sends us. Like any website, our server logs technical details when you visit: your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you view and the time of your visit. If you accept analytics cookies, we also use Google Analytics 4 to see how visitors use the site in aggregate: pages viewed, time on site, how you found us, and your approximate location and device. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses, and we do not use it to identify you.

What we do not collect. We do not ask for sensitive information, we do not sell data, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

How we use it, and why we are allowed to

UK GDPR requires a lawful basis for each use of your data. Here is ours.

What we do Data used Lawful basis
Reply to your enquiry Email and contact details Our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us
Manage relationships with investors, lenders and partners Business contact details and correspondence Our legitimate interest in running the business, or steps towards a contract
Keep the site secure and running Technical and log data Our legitimate interest in a safe, working site

We only send you updates about SoCare if you have asked us to.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep the site working and, with your consent, to measure how it performs using Google Analytics 4. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them in our cookie banner.

Our Cookie Policy lists every cookie we use, what it does and how long it lasts. You can change your choices at any time through the Manage consent link at the bottom of any page.

The fonts on this site are served from our own web server, so loading a page does not share your IP address with a font provider.

Who we share it with

We never sell or rent your data. We share it only with the service providers who help us run the business, each bound by a data processing agreement:

  • Website hosting: Hostinger, which hosts the site
  • Email: Microsoft 365, where emails to us are delivered
  • Analytics: Google Ireland Ltd, for Google Analytics 4
  • Professional advisers: our accountants, lawyers and auditors, where needed

We may also disclose data if the law requires it.

Transfers outside the UK. Some providers, such as Google and Microsoft, may process data in the European Economic Area or the United States. Where that happens, we rely on UK adequacy regulations, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum to keep your data protected to UK standards.

How long we keep it, and how we protect it

  • Enquiries that do not lead to a relationship: deleted within 12 months of our last contact
  • Investor, partner and company records: kept for as long as company and tax law requires, typically six years
  • Server logs: kept for up to 12 months, then deleted
  • Analytics data: deleted from Google Analytics after 14 months

We protect your data with encrypted connections (HTTPS), access limited to the people who need it, and secure, reputable providers. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps and will tell you and the regulator promptly if a breach affects you.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask us to:

  • Give you a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Correct anything that is wrong or incomplete
  • Delete your data, where we have no legal reason to keep it
  • Restrict or object to how we use it, including any marketing
  • Send your data to you or another provider in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent you have given, at any time, without affecting what came before

Email info@socare-trust.com to make a request. We will reply within one month and will not charge you.

If you are not happy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk). We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we use your data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
