Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1st March 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how People of Research Limited (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use the Research Lunch Club service. By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information when you register as a member. This includes your name, email address, and details from your active LinkedIn profile, as well as additional information such as your location (city), response rates to communications with other members, and feedback data provided via our feedback form or shared by other members. In addition, we collect usage statistics—including IP addresses, device identifiers, and browser data—through our join form to understand where our users are connecting from and how they use our Service.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to facilitate the matching process and provide support when match members are unresponsive. We also use your information to communicate important updates, newsletters, or marketing communications related to the Service (which you may opt out of at any time). Additionally, we analyze usage trends to improve the functionality and user experience of our Service.
3. Data Storage and Retention
Your personal data is stored securely on servers that meet industry standards. We employ administrative, technical, and physical security measures, such as encryption and access controls, to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We retain your personal information for as long as you remain an active member of our Service. For inactive accounts or after membership termination, data is retained for a period consistent with industry standards—typically for a period necessary to comply with legal obligations (often 6 to 12 months) or to resolve disputes. Specific retention periods are periodically reviewed and updated as needed.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not share your personal data with any third-party service providers for additional processing or marketing purposes. We use only Google Analytics for website usage analysis, which collects aggregate and non-personally identifiable information. If required by law, regulation, or a valid legal request from government authorities or law enforcement agencies, we may disclose your information in accordance with applicable standards.
5. Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. These include encryption (such as AES-256 for data at rest), secure HTTPS transmission, strict access controls, and regular security assessments. While we take reasonable precautions to safeguard your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
6. Data Breach Response
In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have a comprehensive response plan in place. We will promptly investigate any breach and notify affected members in accordance with applicable laws—typically within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident. Our notification will include details of the breach, the types of information involved, and recommended steps you can take to protect yourself.
7. Data Export, Correction, and Deletion Requests
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. Upon receiving your request, we will verify your identity and respond within 30 days, in line with industry standards. Requests for deletion or correction should be directed to our support team at support@researchlunchclub.com.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website and to collect information about how you use the Service. In addition to standard cookies, we use Google Analytics for analyzing website usage and trends. We provide a cookie banner and a settings page on our website, allowing you to manage and update your preferences. Adjusting your browser settings to refuse cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our Service.
9. International Data Transfers
As a company based in the United Kingdom, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions where we or our partners operate. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) are in place to protect your data in compliance with applicable international data protection laws.
10. Compliance with International Data Protection Laws
We strive to comply with applicable international data protection laws such as the GDPR and CCPA. This includes providing you with rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, as well as data portability where applicable. Our Privacy Policy is designed to ensure transparency and fairness in our data processing practices.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we update our Privacy Policy, we will post the updated version on our website with a revised effective date. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices.
12. Your Rights and Contact Information
