Privacy notice
Last updated 2026-10-07
Pivotal Research Ltd ("Pivotal", "we", "us") runs this website. This notice explains what personal information we collect through it, why, and what you can do about it.
Who we are
Pivotal Research Ltd is a non-profit company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16440066), at 25 Holywell Row, London EC2A 4XE. We are the controller of the personal information described here.
What we collect
When you send us a message through our contact form, we collect:
- your first and last name
- your email address
- your message
We use Google Analytics and the LinkedIn Insight Tag to understand how people use this website. These tools set cookies and record information such as the pages you visit, the browser you use and your approximate location.
How we use it
We use your message and contact details to reply to you and to follow up on what you asked about, such as our fellowships, mentoring or research. We do this because we have a legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us.
Applications to our fellowships and to become a mentor go through separate application forms. The information you give there is used to assess your application, and the provider's own privacy policy also applies.
Who we share it with
We only share your information with service providers that help us run this website:
- Vercel, which hosts the website
- Resend, which delivers contact form messages to our inbox
Some of these providers may process information outside the UK. Where they do, they use safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as standard contractual clauses.
We never sell your information.
How long we keep it
We keep your message for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up, and then delete it.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your information, to restrict or object to how we use it, or to send it to you in a portable format. To make a request, please contact us.
If you're unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
