How we collect, use, and protect your personal information — and how we handle confidential information belonging to the organizations we certify.
Last updated: [date] — replace with your actual review date before publishing.
When you fill in a form on our website — a contact enquiry, a free quote request, or an application to register as a consultant — we collect the details you provide, such as your name, company, email address, phone number, and any message or CV you submit.
Like most websites, our server may automatically log basic technical information such as your browser type, general location, and pages visited, to help us understand how the site is used and to keep it running securely.
Our public certificate verification tool only ever returns a single matched record when someone searches an exact certificate number — it does not expose our full client list or allow browsing.
We use your information to respond to your enquiry or quote request.
We use it to process consultant/associate applications, including reviewing submitted CVs.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
We only share your information with third parties where necessary to deliver our services, or where required by law.
As a Certification Body, we routinely handle sensitive operational and business information belonging to the organizations we audit and certify.
All PGCS personnel, auditors, and associates are bound by confidentiality obligations covering any information obtained during audits, assessments, or certification activities — including process details, internal documentation, and non-conformities identified during an assessment.
This information is used solely for certification purposes and is not disclosed to third parties without the client's consent, except where disclosure is required by accreditation bodies, regulators, or law (for example, in response to a valid legal request, or where required as part of our accreditation obligations).
Where an investigation into a complaint about a certified client requires us to discuss the matter with that client, we will explain this to you before proceeding — see our Complaints & Appeals Policy for details.
The fact that an organization holds a valid PGCS certificate, and its current status (active, suspended, withdrawn, etc.), is treated as public information and can be confirmed via our certificate verification tool — this is standard practice across the certification industry and is not a confidentiality breach.
Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain uses of it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we'll respond as promptly as we can.
