We are the data controller, which means we decide why and how your personal data is processed. We are a very small business and are not required to have, and do not have, a designated data protection officer.
Your name and email address, which you enter at checkout so we can send you your course access and bonuses.
Anything you write to us by email, including refund requests and support questions.
Your email address is recorded when you start the checkout, before the payment itself completes. If you begin a purchase and abandon it, we may still hold your email address. You can ask us to delete it at any time (see section 7).
Technical and usage data — IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page and time of visit. Our hosting and platform providers record this in standard server logs.
Analytics data — we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site. Clarity records how pages are used, including clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, and can replay those sessions so we can see where the site is confusing and improve it.
Advertising data — if you reached this site through an advertisement, a Meta (Facebook and Instagram) tracking pixel may record which pages you viewed and whether you completed a purchase, so we can measure whether our advertising works.
When you pay, Stripe or PayPal processes the payment and sends us a confirmation containing your name, email address and transaction details. We never see or store your full card number. Your card details are handled entirely by the payment provider.
Under UK GDPR we must have a lawful basis for using your personal data. Ours are:
Deliver the course and bonuses you bought
Performance of a contract
Process your payment and keep the records
Contract; legal obligation (accounting)
Answer your questions and handle refunds
Contract; legitimate interests
Send you course updates and, if you opted in, our emails
Consent — you can unsubscribe at any time
Keep the website running and secure
Legitimate interests
Measure and improve our advertising
Consent where required; otherwise legitimate interests
Understand how the site is used (analytics)

Follow up on an abandoned checkout
Legitimate interests
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it to make any automated decision that has a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
We share data only with the service providers we need to run this business:
Systeme.io — our website, checkout, course delivery and email. Receives your name, email address, order details and technical data.
Stripe and PayPal — payment processing. They receive your payment and contact details directly from you and act as their own controllers for that data.
Microsoft — website analytics and session replay through Microsoft Clarity, if analytics cookies are active.
Meta Platforms — advertising measurement, if you arrived through one of our ads.
We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or to establish or defend a legal claim.
Some of our service providers are based outside the United Kingdom, principally in the United States and the European Union, so your data may be transferred and stored there. Where such a transfer takes place we rely on appropriate safeguards as required by UK data protection law, including the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the providers’ certification under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable.
Purchase and payment records — at least 6 years, as required by UK tax and accounting law.
Customer email addresses — while you have access to the course, so we can send updates, and for our emails until you unsubscribe.
Abandoned checkout email addresses — no longer than 12 months, then deleted.
Email correspondence — up to 3 years after our last exchange.
Server logs and technical data — up to 12 months.
Under UK GDPR you can ask us to:
give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
correct anything that is wrong or incomplete;
delete your data;
restrict or object to how we use it;
transfer your data to another provider;
withdraw consent at any time, where we relied on consent.
Email fraser@sleekexcel.com and we will respond within one month. We may ask you to confirm your identity first, so that we do not hand your data to someone else.
If you believe we have handled your data improperly, please tell us first, as we would rather put it right. You also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), ico.org.uk, helpline 0303 123 1113. If you are in the EEA, you may instead complain to your local data protection authority.
Our site uses cookies that are necessary for it to work, including keeping your checkout session active.
We also use analytics cookies (Microsoft Clarity) to understand how the site is used, and, if you arrived through one of our advertisements, Meta’s advertising pixel may set cookies to measure the result of that advertisement. Where required, we ask for your consent before those cookies are set. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings and the site will still work.
This course is sold to adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16, and we do not direct this site at children.
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the site, and payments are handled entirely by Stripe and PayPal. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
If we change this policy we will post the new version here and update the date at the top.
