Using this website
You can read the website without submitting information. There is no enquiry form, document upload, account registration or payment checkout here. Fonts and images are served with the site.
The production website includes Google Analytics 4, which runs only if you choose “Accept” in the cookie banner. If you accept, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_<container> to tell browsers and sessions apart. These cookies can last up to two years. We use the resulting statistics to see which pages and articles are useful. We do not use them for advertising, and Google signals, ad personalisation and granular location and device data are switched off.
The lawful basis for analytics is consent. You can change your choice at any time with “Privacy choices” in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops the tag and removes the analytics cookies from this browser.
Google Analytics reporting data is kept for 14 months. Google Ireland Limited provides the service, and data may be processed by Google LLC in the United States under Google’s data processing terms and the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Google acts as our processor. We do not send Google your name, email address or booking details.
The site stores your cookie choice in your browser’s local storage under the key plan-b-careers.analytics-consent. This entry is strictly necessary to remember your decision and is not used for tracking. If you reject analytics, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics request is made to Google.
Delivering pages involves technical request information, such as an IP address, the requested page and browser information.
On our production website, technical error monitoring helps Tech Local maintain the site. Error reports can include the error message and source location, website version, page path and the action being attempted, such as opening the booking page. Credentials and email addresses are removed before reports are sent. This monitoring does not record form entries, browsing sessions or screen recordings, and uses no cookies or browser storage.
Booking and external links
If online booking is available, “Choose a time” opens Lance’s separate scheduling page. The scheduler is not embedded in this website. Before entering information, read the provider’s privacy notice and check which details are required and how they will be used.
LinkedIn and other external websites have their own privacy practices. Following a link can disclose technical information to that website.
Session notes and career conversations
Session notes are securely filed and are not shared. Contact Lance if you have a question about your session information.
Career discussions, including email and messaging support between sessions, can involve personal and employment information. Share only what is needed for your career guidance, and avoid sharing another person’s information without appropriate authority.
Keeping and deleting information
Company accounting records must generally be kept for six years from the end of the last company financial year to which they relate. Longer retention is required in circumstances such as transactions spanning multiple accounting periods, assets expected to last more than six years, a late Company Tax Return or an HMRC compliance check. Separate VAT record requirements apply if the business is VAT-registered.
This accounting rule does not set a retention period for all enquiries, booking records or session notes. For information about how long your records are kept, or to request deletion, contact Lance using the details above. Your request is subject to the applicable legal conditions and record-keeping obligations.
Your privacy rights
Where UK data protection law applies, you may request access to your personal data, correction, erasure or restriction of its use. Data portability may also apply. These rights depend on the processing and legal conditions. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it; withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing.
Right to object: you may object to certain uses of your personal data, subject to the applicable conditions.
You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator. Its complaints page explains the available routes.
