Who we are

Open Data Sphere (“ODS”, “ODS Pro”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a hospitality operational systems and technology consultancy. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. For the purposes of UK data protection law we are the data controller for information collected through this website. You can reach us at opendata.uk@gmail.com.

Information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to give us — primarily through our enquiry and careers forms. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, company name and the content of your message. We also collect limited, privacy-friendly analytics data (such as anonymised page views) to understand how the site is used.

How we use your information

We use your information to respond to your enquiries, provide the services you request, improve our website, and — only where you have agreed — send you our newsletter. We do not sell your personal data to anyone.

Legal bases

We process personal data under the UK GDPR on the bases of your consent (for example, newsletter sign-up), the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request, and our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business.

Cookies & analytics

We use essential cookies to make the site work and a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool to measure traffic. You can control non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie banner or your browser settings.

Data sharing & retention

We may share data with trusted service providers who help us run our website and communications (such as our hosting and email providers), always under appropriate safeguards. We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law.

Your rights

Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email us at opendata.uk@gmail.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
