This policy explains what happens to information in connection with this website and with Bashko’s work as a business-to-business lead generation company. If anything here is unclear, email joseph@bashko.org and ask.
1. Information this website collects
This website is a set of static pages. It has no contact form, no account system, no comments and no login. It does not set cookies, and it does not run analytics, advertising or visitor-tracking scripts.
All of the site’s assets — stylesheets, scripts, images and typefaces — are served from the same place as the pages themselves. There are no third-party fonts, embeds, widgets or tracking pixels, so loading a page does not send a request to any other company.
Like any website, the server that hosts these pages may keep standard technical logs of requests. Those logs are handled by the hosting provider under its own terms.
2. Information you send us
If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to include: your name, your email address, your company, and the details of your enquiry. We use it to reply to you, to work out whether we are a suitable fit, and to carry out any work you go on to instruct.
We do not sell enquiry information, and we do not pass it to third parties for their own marketing.
3. Business contact information we research
Bashko’s work involves identifying businesses and the people within them who are relevant to a client’s stated criteria. This information is business contact information, gathered from public and commercial business sources and verified before use.
Your choices if we have contacted you
If Bashko has contacted you or holds business contact information about you and you would like it corrected or removed, email joseph@bashko.org. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the use of information about you, and to withdraw consent where consent is the basis we rely on. We will act on a request of this kind without charge.
4. How information is used
- To respond to enquiries and provide the services requested.
- To research, verify and qualify business contacts on behalf of a client.
- To keep a record of where information came from, so any lead can be traced back.
- To meet legal, accounting and record-keeping obligations.
5. Service providers
We rely on ordinary business services such as email hosting and website hosting. Those providers process information only as needed to supply their service. We do not authorise them to use it for their own purposes.
6. Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data retention
We keep information for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, and for as long as we are required to keep it for legal or accounting reasons. Business contact information that is no longer relevant to a client’s criteria, or that a person has asked us to remove, is deleted.
8. Text messaging and SMS
This website does not collect phone numbers, and Bashko does not operate an SMS or text-messaging programme through it. No mobile number is requested, stored or used for messaging as a result of visiting these pages.
If Bashko introduces text messaging in future, the following will apply, and this policy will be updated before any messages are sent:
- Messages will only be sent to people who have given prior express consent to receive them.
- Consent will never be a condition of purchasing any product or service.
- Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP to any message to opt out. Reply HELP for assistance.
- Support is available at any time by emailing joseph@bashko.org.
- Mobile opt-in information and consent will not be sold, rented or shared with any third party for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Phone numbers collected for messaging will be used only for the messaging programme they were given for.
9. Children
This is a business-to-business service. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information about them.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the business or the website changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
