How OPDEV collects and uses your information. Last updated: October 2026.

1. Who we are

OPDEV (Organisational, Personal and Professional Development) is a training and consultancy firm based in London, UK. In this policy, "OPDEV", "we" and "us" mean OPDEV. We decide how your personal information is used, and we handle it in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy explains what personal information we collect through opdevinternational.co.uk, how we use it and the choices you have.

2. What information we collect

We collect information you give us when you:

  • send an enquiry or apply for a grant, scholarship or bursary
  • book a call through Calendly
  • subscribe to our newsletter
  • apply for a job or partnership

This may include your name, organisation, job title, email, phone number, city and anything you write in a message. We also collect basic technical data, such as browser type, pages visited and approximate location, through cookies and analytics.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • reply to your enquiry and provide our services
  • review grant, scholarship and bursary applications
  • send newsletters and updates, if you subscribed
  • improve our website and services
  • meet legal and accounting requirements

We rely on these legal bases: your consent (for example, newsletters and analytics cookies), steps you ask us to take before a contract and the contract itself (enquiries and services), our legitimate interests in running and improving our business, and legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Cookies

Our website uses essential cookies so it works properly, and Google Analytics cookies to understand how visitors use it. Analytics cookies collect information such as pages visited and approximate location, and do not identify you by name. When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are only set if you click Accept. To change your choice, clear cookies and site data for this website in your browser. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

5. Who we share it with

We share information only when needed to run our services, for example with:

  • Calendly, for booking calls
  • Google, for website analytics
  • ScoreApp, if you take the Clarity Scan
  • our email and website hosting providers
  • associate facilitators working on your programme
  • authorities, where the law requires it

Some of these providers may store data outside the UK. Where they do, we make sure suitable safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses.

6. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and application details for up to two years, and client records for as long as needed for contracts and accounting. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe.

7. Your rights

You can ask us to:

  • give you a copy of the information we hold about you
  • correct information that is wrong or incomplete
  • delete your information
  • limit or object to how we use it
  • transfer your information to another organisation
  • stop sending you marketing emails

Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
