When you share information with us, we believe that by using it we can make our services even better for you. As you use our services, we want it to be clear to you how we're using information and the ways in which we look to protect your privacy.
Leading Founders is committed to protecting the privacy of all its website users and business clients. In all cases we will attempt to be fair in how we hold, manage and process personal data.

What information is collected and how is it used?
We ask you to supply certain information when you enquire with us as a prospective client about our services. This information may include but is not limited to your name, the name of your business, your email address, and other business and financial data.
We may also combine details of more than one client to create consolidated data, aggregated data and statistics which we may use both internally and externally in communications with the public, businesses and other organisations. Such consolidated data, aggregated data and statistics will only be made available in such a way that it cannot identify any individuals, businesses or clients unless specific agreement is given by such individuals, businesses or clients.

​

Divulging your data to other parties
Leading Founders will not, without your consent, divulge, sell, lease, rent or provide in any other way personal information about you to a third party, except in the following circumstances:
1. If required to do so by law or by any organisation with appropriate authority including but not limited to any formally recognised regulatory body who wish to investigate an alleged breaking or possible breaking of any relevant regulations, codes of practice, legislation, applicable laws or other rules and regulations as laid down from time to time by the police or other regulatory authorities.
2. To any financial institution or other payment processing organisation with whom we work for the purpose of processing payments from you, verifying credit status and/or validating financial transactions. In the case of a business we would only seek to do these things from the business entity that we are contracting to, rather than you personally. Note that Leading Founders does not gather or hold any credit or debit card information for its clients.
