Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.digitalbeehive.com.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Digital Beehive Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website and participate in our webinars. We are committed to protecting your personal data and handling it responsibly in accordance with UK GDPR and applicable data protection laws.
Information We Collect
Website Usage
When you interact with our website, we may collect personal data you provide (such as your name and email address), as well as technical data including your IP address, browser type, and device information. This also includes any information submitted through forms or comments.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. We may use a third-party service called Gravatar (Globally Recognised Avatar). If enabled, an anonymised string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check whether you have a profile image associated with it. If your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to download and extract this information.
Webinar Data
We collect personal information when you register for, attend, or participate in a webinar, including through chat, polls, or Q&A. This may include your name, email address, job title, company name (if provided), and attendance or engagement data. Some of this information may be collected through third-party platforms such as Microsoft Teams or LinkedIn. We do not collect payment information in relation to webinars and we do not process sensitive personal data.
Information from Third Parties
Where webinars are promoted or accessed through platforms such as LinkedIn, we may receive limited profile information such as your name, job title, and company, depending on your privacy settings on those platforms.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal data to operate and manage our website, enable commenting and user interaction, register and deliver webinars, send confirmations, reminders, and follow-up communications, enable interaction during webinars, analyse engagement, improve our content and services, respond to enquiries, and send marketing communications where permitted.
Legal Basis for Processing
We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:
- Legitimate interests to operate and improve our services;
- Consent for marketing communications and optional features and;
- Legal obligations where processing is required to comply with applicable laws.
You may withdraw your consent at any time.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience, which will last for one year. When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check whether your browser accepts cookies; this contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, cookies are used to store login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected, while screen preference cookies last for one year. If you log out, login cookies are removed. If you edit or publish content, a cookie storing the post ID is saved and expires after one day.
When accessing webinars or embedded third-party content, cookies or similar technologies may also be used for analytics, performance monitoring, and improving user experience.
Please refer to our Cookie Policy for further information.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly, and those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction.
Data Sharing
We only share your personal data where necessary. This may include sharing with third-party providers that support webinar delivery and promotion, such as Microsoft Teams and LinkedIn, as well as service providers supporting website functionality. We do not sell personal data. We may also share data where required by law or in connection with a business transfer. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services, deliver webinars and related content, analyse engagement, and comply with legal obligations. Where possible, data is securely deleted when no longer required.
