Privacy Policy

Effective date: 22 September 2026

Tijani Group respects the privacy of the individuals who engage with us, visit our website, submit opportunities, work with businesses across the Group or otherwise interact with our commercial activities.

This Privacy Policy explains how Tijani Ltd collects, uses, stores and shares personal information.

Tijani Group is a trading name of Tijani Ltd, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 17142447, with registered office at Suite A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, United Kingdom, IP28 7DE.

For the purposes of applicable UK data protection law, Tijani Ltd is the data controller unless another organisation is expressly identified as the controller for a particular activity.

1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the Tijani Group website and through our wider commercial interactions.

This may include information relating to clients, prospective clients, suppliers, manufacturers, delivery partners, professional advisers, business owners, employees of organisations, public-sector contacts and individuals who submit opportunities, requirements or capabilities to the Group.

It does not necessarily apply to the independent processing activities of businesses, suppliers or partners that operate separately from Tijani Ltd.

Where another organisation determines independently how it processes personal information, its own privacy policy will apply.

2. The information we may collect

We may collect identity and contact information such as your name, business email address, telephone number, job title, organisation and professional contact details.

We may collect professional and commercial information including your organisation's activities, capabilities, requirements, procurement interests, market position and information relating to contracts, tenders, projects or commercial opportunities.

Where you submit an enquiry, we may collect the information contained within that enquiry, including supporting documents and correspondence.

We may also collect records of meetings, communications, proposals, commercial discussions and our relationship with you or your organisation.

When you use our website, certain technical information may be collected, including IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, referral source and website interaction data.

Where relevant to a commercial relationship, we may also collect information necessary for appropriate due diligence, compliance, fraud prevention, supplier assessment or contractual management.

3. Information about other people

Documents submitted to Tijani Group may sometimes contain personal information relating to other people.

If you provide personal information about another person, you should ensure that you have an appropriate basis or authority to provide that information to us.

You should avoid sending unnecessary personal information, particularly sensitive personal information, where it is not required for the commercial purpose concerned.

4. Special category and sensitive information

Tijani Group does not generally seek to collect special category personal information through its public website.

This includes information concerning matters such as health, ethnicity, religion, political opinions, trade-union membership, biometric information or sexual orientation.

If such information is provided to us and its processing is genuinely necessary, we will only process it where an appropriate legal basis and additional condition under applicable data protection law exists.

You should not include sensitive personal information within a general commercial enquiry unless it is genuinely necessary.

5. How we obtain personal information

We may obtain personal information directly from you when you contact us, submit an enquiry, enter into discussions with the Group, attend a meeting or event, become a client or partner, or otherwise communicate with us.

We may also obtain professional or business contact information from publicly available and legitimate commercial sources.

These may include corporate websites, Companies House, public procurement notices, professional directories, event information, business publications and professional networking platforms.

Information may also be provided to us by clients, partners, advisers, suppliers, referrals or other organisations where it is appropriate for them to do so.

6. How we use personal information

We may use personal information to assess opportunities, enquiries and commercial requirements submitted to Tijani Group.

We may use it to determine whether Tijani Group, a Group operation, specialist business, supplier or delivery relationship may be relevant to an opportunity.

We may use personal information to communicate with you, develop commercial proposals, manage business relationships, conduct appropriate due diligence, prepare or perform agreements, support procurement activities and coordinate delivery.

We may also use information to understand markets, maintain records of professional relationships, identify commercially relevant opportunities, improve our services, operate and secure our website and protect our legitimate commercial interests.

Where permitted by law, we may use professional contact information to communicate relevant information about Tijani Group, opportunities, services, insights or commercial developments that we reasonably believe may be relevant to the recipient.

7. Our lawful bases for processing

Tijani Ltd only processes personal information where an appropriate lawful basis applies. UK data protection law requires organisations to identify a lawful basis for their processing activities.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely upon contract where processing is necessary to perform an agreement with you or take steps you request before entering into one.

We may rely upon legal obligation where processing is required to comply with applicable law, regulatory obligations, tax requirements or other legal duties.

We may rely upon legitimate interests where processing is reasonably necessary for legitimate commercial purposes and those interests are not overridden by the rights and interests of the individual concerned.

Our legitimate interests may include assessing and developing commercial opportunities, managing relationships, conducting due diligence, operating and improving the Group, protecting our systems and business, maintaining commercial records and communicating appropriately with professional contacts. The ICO recognises legitimate interests as potentially appropriate where processing is reasonably expected and has limited privacy impact, but requires organisations to consider individuals' rights and interests.

Where consent is the appropriate legal basis, including for certain marketing or non-essential website technologies, we will seek consent where required.

8. Commercial enquiries and opportunities

When you submit an opportunity, requirement, tender, proposition or capability to Tijani Group, we will generally use the information to assess the commercial position and determine whether there is an appropriate route through the Group.

This may involve reviewing the information against available businesses, suppliers, specialist operators, procurement routes, workforce providers or other resources.

We may retain a record of the opportunity even if we do not proceed immediately, where there is a legitimate business reason to do so and continued retention remains appropriate.

Submission of an enquiry does not automatically place you onto an unrelated consumer-marketing list.

9. Sharing information across the Tijani network

The commercial model of Tijani Group may require relevant information to be considered across more than one capability.

Where reasonably necessary to assess or progress a commercial opportunity, we may share relevant information with selected businesses, suppliers, prospective delivery partners, subcontractors, manufacturers, professional advisers or other organisations whose capabilities may be relevant.

We will seek to limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Where appropriate, contractual, confidentiality or data-protection arrangements may be used to govern that sharing.

We do not sell personal information as a database or commodity.

10. Service providers

We may use trusted third-party service providers to operate elements of our business and digital infrastructure.

These may include website hosting and development providers, form-processing services, business email providers, cloud-storage providers, CRM systems, analytics providers, cybersecurity providers, accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers.

Where a service provider processes personal information on our behalf, we seek to use appropriate contractual and organisational protections.

Some providers may act as independent controllers for particular activities and will have their own privacy terms.

11. Public and professional sources

Tijani Group operates primarily in business-to-business and institutional markets.

We may therefore maintain professional contact information concerning relevant business leaders, procurement professionals, suppliers, manufacturers, advisers, developers, public-sector contacts and other commercial decision-makers where there is a genuine business reason to do so.

Where information is obtained indirectly, we will handle it in accordance with applicable transparency obligations and the individual's reasonable expectations.

UK data protection rules generally require organisations to provide privacy information when information is collected and, where information is obtained from another source, ordinarily within a reasonable period and no later than one month unless an applicable exception applies.

12. Direct marketing and commercial communications

Where permitted by law, Tijani Group may send relevant commercial communications to business contacts where we believe the information may legitimately relate to their professional role or organisation.

Where consent is legally required, we will seek it.

Every individual has the right to object to the use of their personal information for direct marketing at any time. That right is absolute.

Where you opt out, we may retain a limited suppression record so that we can respect your preference in the future.

You can object to direct marketing by contacting us or by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in an applicable communication.

13. Cookies and website analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies required for the website to function and, where enabled, technologies that help us understand website usage and improve performance.

Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, they should not be activated until the relevant choice has been made.

More information about the technologies used on the website should be provided in our Cookie Notice.

14. How long we retain information

We do not intend to keep personal information indefinitely merely because it has been collected.

Retention depends on why the information was obtained, the nature of the commercial relationship, potential future relevance, legal and contractual obligations and whether information may reasonably be required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

As a working standard, general commercial enquiries that do not progress may normally be retained for up to 36 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless there is a legitimate reason to retain them for longer or deletion is appropriate earlier.

Records connected with clients, partners, contracts, transactions or significant commercial relationships may ordinarily be retained for up to seven years after the relevant relationship ends, or longer where required by law or reasonably necessary in connection with a continuing matter or claim.

Marketing suppression information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to ensure that an opt-out continues to be respected.

Technical and security records may be retained for periods appropriate to their security, troubleshooting and compliance purpose.

UK data protection law requires organisations not to retain personal information for longer than is necessary and to be able to justify retention periods or criteria.

15. International transfers

Some service providers used by Tijani Group may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally and UK data-protection rules require safeguards, we will seek to use an applicable lawful transfer mechanism.

This may include transfers to countries covered by UK adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards such as approved contractual mechanisms. The ICO recognises UK adequacy regulations and mechanisms including the UK International Data Transfer Agreement and applicable Addendum as available transfer frameworks.

16. Security

Tijani Group seeks to maintain technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we process and the risks associated with that processing.

These measures may include access controls, account security, secure service providers, appropriate contractual controls and limits on who can access commercially sensitive information.

No internet or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we therefore cannot promise absolute security.

UK data-protection law requires organisations to apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk of the processing.

17. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable exemptions, you may have rights concerning the personal information we hold about you.

These can include rights to obtain information about processing, request access to your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request erasure, request restriction of processing, receive certain information in a portable form and object to particular processing.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may have a right to object to the relevant processing.

Your right to object to direct marketing is absolute.

These rights are not all absolute and can depend on the circumstances.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request in order to protect personal information from unauthorised disclosure.

18. Automated decision-making

Tijani Group does not currently intend to make decisions about individuals solely through automated processing where those decisions produce legal or similarly significant effects.

We may use software, analytics or internal systems to help organise information, prioritise work or support commercial analysis, but material commercial decisions concerning mandates and relationships are intended to involve human judgement.

If this changes materially, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement the safeguards required by applicable law.

19. Children

The Tijani Group website and commercial services are intended for professional and business audiences and are not directed at children.

We do not intentionally seek to collect personal information from children through general commercial enquiry routes.

If we become aware that such information has been provided unnecessarily, we may take steps to remove it where appropriate.

20. Links to external websites

Our website may link to government websites, public procurement services, business partners, professional organisations or other third-party websites.

Tijani Ltd is not responsible for the privacy practices of those independent organisations.

You should review the privacy information provided by the relevant third party when using its website or services.

21. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Tijani Ltd may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the Group, its systems, commercial operations or applicable law develop.

The current version will be published on the website and identified by its effective date.

Where a change materially affects how personal information is used, we will take further steps to communicate the change where legally required.
