Privacy Policy.

Surveyor Success is an independent editorial publication for UK quantity surveyors, operated by Courage Oseghale. Our website is www.surveyorsuccess.co.uk.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can contact us at hello@surveyorsuccess.co.uk.

We collect the following types of data:

• Usage data — pages visited, time on site, referral source, and browser/device type. Collected via Google Analytics only if you consent.
• Email address — if you subscribe to our newsletter via the sign-up form on this site.
• Contact information — name and email if you contact us directly by email.

We do not collect payment information, sell your data to third parties, or run targeted advertising.

We use cookies to operate this site and, with your consent, to understand how visitors use it. There are two categories:

• Essential cookies — necessary for the site to function (session management, security). These are always active.
• Analytics cookies— set by Google Analytics (GA4) to measure site traffic and content performance. Only placed if you click “Accept all cookies” in our consent banner.

You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.

If you consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymised information about how visitors use this site. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visitors and reports aggregate trends — it does not identify you personally.

We have enabled GA4 Consent Mode v2, meaning no analytics data is collected until you explicitly accept cookies. Data is processed by Google LLC and may be transferred to servers in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address to send you updates about new articles and site news. We use a third-party email platform (ConvertKit) to manage our mailing list.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any newsletter email. We will never share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@surveyorsuccess.co.uk. We will respond within 30 days.

Analytics data is retained for 14 months in Google Analytics, after which it is automatically deleted. Newsletter subscriber data is held until you unsubscribe. Email correspondence is retained for up to 2 years.

Our articles may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting any personal data.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
