SciBridgeX Technologies Limited (“SciBridgeX”, “we”) is the data controller for personal data collected through this website. We are registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16942880), with our registered office at 20–22 Wenlock Road, London, United Kingdom, N1 7GU.

Data protection enquiries may be sent to info@scibridgex.com and will be routed to our privacy lead.

1. What we collect and why

When you submit an enquiry or contact us through this website, we collect the personal data you provide — typically your name, organisation, role, email address, and the content of your message.

We use this data for the following purposes:

  • Responding to your enquiry — to answer your question, arrange a call, or provide information you have requested.

  • Managing our relationship with you — to maintain a record of our communications and, where relevant, to follow up on potential or existing partnerships.

We do not use website enquiry data for automated decision-making or profiling.

2. Our lawful basis

We process enquiry data on the basis of legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). Our legitimate interests are:

  • responding to business enquiries efficiently;

  • maintaining professional relationships with governments, corporates, development finance institutions, philanthropists, universities, and investors;

  • operating and developing our business.

We have balanced these interests against your rights and consider that this processing is proportionate and does not override your fundamental rights or freedoms. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time (see Section 7).

3. How long we keep it

We retain enquiry data for 24 months from our last interaction, because this is the longest realistic sales and partnership cycle for our services. After this period, the data is deleted or anonymised, unless:

  • you become a client or counterparty, in which case separate contractual and legal retention rules apply; or

  • a longer period is required by law (for example, tax or accounting obligations).

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with the following categories of recipients:

  • Service providers who support our website, email, and communications infrastructure, acting under written data processing terms and only on our instructions.

  • Professional advisers (legal, accounting, compliance) where necessary for the operation of our business.

  • Group companies or successor entities in connection with a reorganisation, merger, or transfer of our business, subject to equivalent protection.

  • Public authorities where required by law.

5. International transfers

SciBridgeX is based in the UK. Where we use service providers located outside the UK, we do not transfer personal data to a third country unless one of the following applies:

  • the destination country is covered by UK adequacy regulations; or

  • appropriate safeguards are in place under Article 46 UK GDPR — specifically, the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, together with a completed transfer risk assessment (referred to in the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 as the “data protection test”), confirming that the standard of protection is not materially lower than in the UK.

Where we rely on the IDTA or Addendum, the safeguard becomes legally binding only once the TRA is completed and any supplementary measures identified in it are implemented. Details of the specific safeguard applied to any given transfer are available on request from info@scibridgex.com.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies. We do not store information on, or access information from, your device for analytics, advertising, or any other purpose. Because no such technologies are used, no cookie consent banner is required. If this changes in the future, we will update this notice and, where required by PECR, obtain your consent before deploying any non-essential technologies.

7. Your rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you;

  • correct inaccurate data;

  • erase data where there is no lawful reason for us to keep it;

  • restrict processing in certain circumstances;

  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;

  • data portability (where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means).

These rights are not absolute. For example, the right to erasure does not apply where we have a legal obligation to retain the data, and the right to object does not automatically end processing where we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@scibridgex.com. We will respond within one month, unless the request is complex, in which case we will inform you of any extension.

8. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to complain to us directly. You can do so by contacting info@scibridgex.com. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 30 days and will take appropriate steps to respond without undue delay, keeping you informed of progress and the outcome.

This right to complain to the controller is separate from, and additional to, your right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk. We would welcome the opportunity to address your concern before you approach the ICO.

9. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, with the effective date below. Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you — for example, by email where we hold a relevant address, or by a prominent notice on this website.
