Our website may contain links to third-party websites. This privacy policy does not apply to external websites and we encourage users to review their individual privacy policies.

Client & Project Data

Where Plaster processes information on behalf of clients, we act in accordance with UK GDPR requirements and any project-specific confidentiality or data handling agreements.

We take extensive steps to ensure client information, stakeholder data and project materials are stored securely and accessed only by relevant team members and approved collaborators where necessary.

We use established third-party platforms including Google Workspace, Dropbox, Squarespace and project management tools with appropriate security measures in place. Access to systems and files is controlled and reviewed regularly.

Where required, Plaster is able to work within client-specific data handling, confidentiality and information security requirements.

Confidentiality & Third-Party Suppliers

Plaster works with a network of trusted freelancers, suppliers and production partners across design, content, events and communications.

Where external collaborators are involved in client projects, access to information is limited to what is necessary for delivery of the work and handled in line with confidentiality and data protection expectations.

We do not share client data, stakeholder information or commercially sensitive materials with third parties except where required for agreed project delivery.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy periodically to reflect operational, legal or regulatory changes.
