ℹ️ This policy is provided as a general guide for GlobalFormations clients and is written in plain language. It is not a substitute for legal advice — we recommend having it reviewed by a qualified solicitor before relying on it for full regulatory compliance.
1. Who We Are
GlobalFormations is a trading name of Medianest Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16400677, with its registered office at Suite A, 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St Edmunds, IP28 7DE, United Kingdom. We also operate a regional office at North Romaliar Chara, Sadar, Cox's Bazar 4700, Bangladesh.
Medianest Ltd is the "data controller" for the personal data described in this policy.
2. What Data We Collect
- Identity information — full name, date of birth, passport or national ID copy.
- Contact information — email address, phone/WhatsApp number, residential address, proof of address.
- Business information — proposed company name, business activity, ownership structure, package selected.
- Payment confirmation — we receive confirmation that a payment has been made via Stripe, PayPal, Wise, bKash, or bank transfer. We do not store your full card or bank details ourselves; these are processed directly by the payment provider.
- Communications — messages sent to us via WhatsApp, email, or the contact form on this website.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, and site usage data collected automatically, including via the Meta Pixel for advertising analytics.
3. How We Use Your Data
- To prepare and file your company formation documents with the relevant government authority.
- To communicate with you about the progress of your order.
- To verify your identity as required by anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer obligations.
- To send you service updates, compliance reminders (e.g. annual report deadlines), and — where you have consented — marketing communications.
- To improve our website and services, and to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|
| Forming your company and delivering the service you paid for | Performance of a contract |
| Identity verification / compliance checks | Legal obligation |
| Sending marketing updates | Consent (you may withdraw at any time) |
| Website analytics and ad performance | Legitimate interest |
5. Who We Share Data With
We share your data only where necessary to deliver your formation service:
- Government filing authorities (e.g. state Secretary of State offices, Companies House, IRS).
- Our registered agent and registered office providers.
- Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Wise) solely to confirm and reconcile payment.
- We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not share it for third-party marketing purposes.
6. International Transfers
Because GlobalFormations operates between the United Kingdom and Bangladesh, your data may be accessed by our team members in both locations to process your order. We take reasonable steps to keep your data secure wherever it is handled.
7. Data Retention
We retain client records for as long as needed to deliver the service and to meet our legal and tax obligations (typically up to 6 years after your last transaction with us), after which data is securely deleted or anonymised.
8. Cookies & Tracking
Our website uses the Meta Pixel and standard analytics cookies to understand site traffic and measure advertising performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
9. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to marketing communications. To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@globalformations.co.uk. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
