Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 10/04/2025
Last Updated: 10/04/2025
At SRM Tribe, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you engage with our Voice of the Supplier survey services, visit our website, or communicate with us.
1. Who We Are
SRM Tribe provides Voice of the Supplier surveys and related services to help organisations improve supplier relationships and make smarter procurement decisions. We act as a data controller when processing your personal data for our own business purposes.
If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at:
Email: matt@srmtribe.com
2. What Information We Collect
We may collect and process the following types of personal data:
-
Contact Information – such as name, email address, phone number, job title, and organisation.
-
Survey Data – responses or feedback submitted through Voice of the Supplier surveys (this may include opinions, experiences, and optional identifiers).
-
Usage Data – information about how you use our website or platform (e.g. IP address, browser type, and cookies).
-
Communication Records – records of your communications with us, including emails and enquiries.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your personal data to:
-
Deliver and manage our Voice of the Supplier survey services
-
Communicate with you about our services or your account
-
Improve our website, services, and user experience
-
Respond to enquiries or support requests
-
Meet our legal and regulatory obligations
We only process your data where we have a lawful basis to do so, such as your consent, to fulfil a contract, or where it is in our legitimate business interests.
4. Data Sharing and Transfers
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
We may share your data with:
-
Service providers who support our platform (e.g. hosting, analytics, communications tools)
-
Professional advisors or regulators where required by law
-
Clients, in anonymised or aggregated form, for the purposes of reporting and insights. This may include your department and industry and other business related insights but it will never include your name, email address or contact details.
An example of why we may do this, is to build industry insights and further reports with partners about trends within supplier relationship management & business generally. You will never be identifiable, neither will your organisation.
If we transfer data outside the UK, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or similar legal mechanisms.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, regulatory, or reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised. We only collect your name and email address. Therefore, after a survey is completed and the final report is with your business, we delete your name and your email address. The only way we can retain your email address for marketing emails and so you can receive our SubStack newsletter is if you specifically click "yes" and "opt-in" during the survey.
6. Your Rights
Under data protection law, you have rights including:
-
The right to access your personal data
-
The right to correct or update inaccurate data
-
The right to request deletion of your data
-
The right to object to or restrict processing
-
The right to withdraw consent (where applicable)
-
The right to data portability
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at matt@srmtribe.com
7. Cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies on our website to improve functionality and analyse usage. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
