Privacy notice
Last updated: 12 November 2026
This notice covers the giglad.com website and the GigLad Freelance Marketplace waitlist. GigLad Learning at learn.giglad.com has its own privacy policy.
Who we are
giglad.com is run by GIGLAD GROUP LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17558351). Registered office: Flat 68, Westbourne Heights, 2-6 Prince Of Wales Road, Bournemouth, England, BH4 9HE. We are the data controller for the details described here. Contact: support@giglad.com.
What we collect
When you join the waitlist, we collect your first name, email address, what best describes you (for example your main freelance skill, or that you want to hire), your country if you choose to give it, the date you joined and the fact that you gave consent.
To stop spam, the server briefly keeps a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address for up to one hour. Like most websites, our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs.
How we use it
We use your details only to email you about the GigLad Freelance Marketplace: when you can join, and a small number of launch updates. Our legal basis is your consent. We do not sell your details or use them for unrelated marketing.
Where it is kept and for how long
Your details are stored securely on our web host's servers (DreamHost) and are not publicly accessible. We keep them until the marketplace launches and for up to 12 months afterwards, or until you ask us to delete them or unsubscribe, whichever comes first. If we later move the list to an email service to send launch emails, that service will act only on our instructions.
Your rights
You can withdraw your consent at any time. You can also ask to see, correct or delete your details. Email support@giglad.com and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
