Privacy policy

What personal data Econotion collects, why, and what you can ask us to do with it.

Who runs Econotion

The data controller for Econotion is its managing director. For anything to do with your data, email hello@econotion.co.uk.

What we collect

  • Newsletter sign-ups. The details you enter in the newsletter form, so we can send you the emails you asked for. The form is provided by HubSpot, which processes the data on our behalf.
  • Emails you send. Your email address and whatever you include in the message, so we can reply.
  • Site usage. The website runs on HubSpot, which uses cookies to measure visits and page views. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

We don't sell your data, and we don't share it with Octopus Energy or anyone else for marketing.

Why we use it

  • Newsletter: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email.
  • Replying to emails and measuring how the site is used: legitimate interests in running the site.

Where it's stored

Newsletter sign-ups and site usage data are held in HubSpot, which stores the data for this account in its EU data centre.

How long we keep it

Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe. Emails are kept for as long as we need them to deal with your message.

Referral links

If you follow one of our referral links to Octopus Energy and sign up, you're giving your details to Octopus, not to Econotion, and Octopus's own privacy policy applies. The same goes for any other supplier we link to.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to how it's used, or withdraw consent. Email hello@econotion.co.uk. If you're not happy with the response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
