  • Comply with legal, regulatory or professional obligations
  • Establish, exercise or defend legal rights where necessary

Personal information will not be used in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected unless there is a lawful reason to do so.

3. Our Lawful Basis for Using Personal Information

UK data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing personal information. Depending on the circumstances, information may be processed on one or more of the following bases.

Legitimate Interests

Personal information may be processed where this is reasonably necessary for legitimate professional or business interests. This may include:

  • Responding to professional enquiries
  • Developing business relationships
  • Considering potential projects
  • Operating and improving the website
  • Maintaining appropriate business records
  • Protecting the website and associated systems

Where legitimate interests are relied upon, consideration will be given to the rights and interests of the individual concerned.

Contract

Information may be processed where it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement or where processing is necessary in connection with an existing contractual relationship.

Legal Obligation

Information may be processed where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Consent

Where consent is required — for example, for certain non-essential cookies or particular forms of electronic communication — information will be processed on the basis of that consent. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

4. Contact and Club Enquiries

The principal purpose of the contact form on MajidLavji.com is to allow football clubs, owners, boards, investors, football organisations, businesses and other legitimate contacts to make enquiries.

Information submitted through the form will be used to review and respond to the enquiry and, where appropriate, continue discussions regarding a potential professional relationship.

Submitting an enquiry does not create a contractual, advisory, agency, fiduciary or other professional relationship between you and Majid Lavji.

5. Sharing Personal Information

Personal information is not sold to third parties.

Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with organisations or individuals that assist with the operation of the website or Majid's professional activities. This may include:

  • Website hosting providers
  • Website developers and technical support providers
  • Email and communication providers
  • Cloud storage and IT providers
  • Analytics providers
  • Professional advisers such as solicitors or accountants
  • Other professional advisers or consultants where necessary for a legitimate project or enquiry
  • Law enforcement, regulators, courts or public authorities where disclosure is legally required

Third-party service providers should only receive the information necessary for them to provide the relevant service. Where appropriate, they are required to handle personal information securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

6. International Transfers

Some technology, hosting, email, analytics or cloud-service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that an appropriate level of protection is in place in accordance with UK data protection law. This may include relying on an applicable UK adequacy regulation or appropriate contractual safeguards.

7. How Long We Keep Information

Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. The length of time information is retained may depend on:

  • The nature of the enquiry
  • Whether a professional relationship develops
  • Legal or regulatory requirements
  • Accounting or contractual obligations
  • Whether the information is required to establish, exercise or defend legal rights

General enquiries that do not result in an ongoing professional relationship will be periodically reviewed and deleted when there is no longer a reasonable need to retain them. Where records need to be kept for legal, contractual or legitimate business purposes, they may be retained for an appropriate longer period.

8. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorised access
  • Loss
  • Misuse
  • Alteration
  • Disclosure
  • Destruction

However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore take reasonable care when submitting information online and should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through the website.

9. Cookies and Analytics

MajidLavji.com may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, understand website usage and improve performance.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies, including certain analytics or third-party cookies, may require your consent before they are placed on your device.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies should not be activated until you have made your choice through the website's cookie-management system. You can change or withdraw your cookie choices through the website's cookie settings where available.

Further information is included in this Privacy Policy above.

10. Third-Party Websites

MajidLavji.com may contain links to external websites, including professional organisations, social-media platforms and other football or sports businesses.

11. LinkedIn and Social Media

The website may contain links to Majid Lavji's LinkedIn profile or other professional social-media accounts.

If you interact with Majid through a social-media platform, the relevant platform will also process information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms. MajidLavji.com does not control how those platforms process your information.

12. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis being relied upon, you may have rights including the right to:

  • Request access to personal information held about you
  • Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Object to certain uses of your personal information
  • Request transfer of certain information to you or another organisation

These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every circumstance.

If you wish to exercise a data protection right, please contact Majid through the website. You may be asked to provide sufficient information to confirm your identity before a request is processed.

13. Complaints

If you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, please contact Majid in the first instance so that the matter can be considered.

You also have the right to make a complaint to the UK's independent data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Further information is available at www.ico.org.uk.

The website does not intentionally seek to collect personal information from children through its general contact facilities. If it becomes apparent that personal information relating to a child has been submitted inappropriately, appropriate steps will be taken to review and, where necessary, remove that information.

Personal information collected through MajidLavji.com is not used to make decisions about individuals solely through automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
