Clay Consulting in Brighton
Clay consulting for Brighton organisations, where building a database of people carries obligations regardless of where the data came from. Enriched contact records are personal data under UK law, and the lawful basis for holding them — together with telling people you have — is a question for advice rather than one the platform answers.
Why this comes up
The problem
A database of forty thousand enriched contacts exists and nobody has documented a lawful basis for it.
What you get
What we deliver
- The data protection position established with advice before the programme scales
- Lawful basis documented, including a balancing assessment where relied upon
- Privacy information prepared, since people generally must be told you hold data
- Retention decided, because enriched records accumulate without anybody choosing
- Provider terms reviewed for what they permit you to do with supplied data
- Subject access and objection handled, as requests will eventually arrive

Clay Consulting in Brighton — common questions
- Does UK data protection apply to business contacts?
- A named individual at a company is still identifiable, so yes in substance — the rules apply to personal data rather than to consumer data specifically. The details of what that requires of you are for your own advisers, and the answer is rarely that nothing does.
- What is the lawful basis usually?
- Legitimate interests, in most B2B programmes, which requires an assessment weighing your interest against the individual's rights rather than an assertion. Documenting that assessment is part of relying on it, and it is frequently the step that gets skipped.
- Do we have to tell people?
- Generally, where data was obtained from somewhere other than the person, there is an obligation to inform them within a period. How that is satisfied in practice is worth advice, because the requirement surprises organisations who assumed public sources carried no duties.
- What about the provider's terms?
- They constrain you separately from the law. Data suppliers place restrictions on retention, resale and use, so a programme that is lawful can still breach a contract — which is worth checking against what you actually intend to do with the records.
- Do you work with businesses across East Sussex?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Brighton businesses do you usually work with?
- Design-led briefs from a market that judges craft closely, plus hospitality and visitor systems for the local economy. Beyond that we work across Digital & Creative, Tourism & Hospitality, Higher Education and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Brighton?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including London, Southampton. Brighton is an urban area of roughly 290,000+, and we take on work across the wider East Sussex region rather than the city boundary alone.
