Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026. Please have this reviewed by a qualified data-protection professional before publishing.
1. Who we are
Global Talent Visa UK ("we", "us", "our") operates the website globaltalentvisauk.co.uk. We are an independent information and introduction service. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal or immigration advice. We help visitors assess their potential fit for the UK Global Talent Visa and connect them with immigration advisers who are regulated in the UK by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) or the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
The data controller responsible for your personal data is [Registered business name], [registered office address], company number [company number], registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under reference [ICO registration number]. — to be confirmed. You can contact us about privacy at info@globaltalentvisauk.co.uk.
2. What data we collect
- Information you submit through our eligibility check or contact forms: your name, email address, phone number, professional field, experience level, achievements profile, current country and city, whether you have a CV/LinkedIn, an optional LinkedIn URL, and any message you send.
- Technical information collected automatically for security and fraud prevention: your IP address, browser user-agent, and submission timing.
- Cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy. Analytics and advertising cookies are only used with your consent.
3. How and why we use your data
- To respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, to introduce you to a regulated immigration adviser suited to your case.
- To send you a confirmation of your submission.
- To protect our forms against spam and abuse.
- With your consent, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and website.
Lawful bases (UK GDPR): your consent (which you can withdraw at any time); our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and preventing fraud; and taking steps at your request before any introduction is made.
4. Who we share your data with
- Regulated immigration advisers / partner firms in our network, so they can contact you about your case. Once introduced, that adviser is a separate data controller and their own privacy policy will apply.
- Service providers that help us operate the site, including our web host, our email/SMTP provider, our anti-spam CAPTCHA provider (Cloudflare Turnstile), a backup form-delivery provider (FormSubmit), and — with consent — Google (Google Ads).
We do not sell your personal data.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement/Addendum. Confirm the specific safeguards for your chosen providers.
6. How long we keep your data
We keep enquiry data only for as long as necessary to handle your enquiry and make an introduction, and to meet our legal obligations. Backup enquiry logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted. Set and state your specific retention periods.
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email info@globaltalentvisauk.co.uk.
8. Complaints
If you have concerns about how we handle your data, you can contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows when it last changed.
