Who we are
Sidelight Solutions Limited is a data and technology consultancy registered in England and Wales. We provide data integration, reporting infrastructure, and data governance services to investment managers, investment consultants, and asset owners. For the purposes of UK data protection law, we are the data controller of the personal data we collect through this website.
What data we collect
When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect your name, work email address, organisation name, and the content of your message. We may also collect technical data automatically when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking purposes.
How we use your data
We use the information you submit through our contact form to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to follow up on potential or existing client engagements. We use technical data to monitor the performance and security of our website and to understand how visitors use it. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Legal basis for processing
We process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries from prospective and existing clients, and in maintaining a secure and functional website. Where we process data on this basis, we have assessed that our interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. You may object to processing on this basis at any time by contacting us.
How long we keep your data
We retain enquiry data for as long as is necessary to respond to and follow up on your enquiry, and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of further correspondence. Technical log data is retained for a short period for security and performance monitoring purposes. We will delete your data sooner if you ask us to, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain it.

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, to object to or restrict our processing of your data, and to request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Our website is hosted on infrastructure provided by third-party cloud providers. These providers process data on our behalf and are subject to appropriate data processing agreements. We do not use third-party analytics services that track individual users across websites.
