Privacy Policy

Last update: 25 April 2026

Confidentiality Statement

This privacy policy outlines the information collected from visitors to our site and how it may be stored and processed by Beacon Method. This website provides content and services for professional and consumer audiences and is not intended for persons under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information provided by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a resident of the European Union (EU), please note that there are several provisions in this Privacy Policy that apply uniquely to you.

Personal data

We are committed to data security and privacy policy compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 in how we use and share your personal information. This means, among other things, that we only use your data: fairly and lawfully to the extent necessary to represent you.

We recognize that information is an essential asset for your organization and take our responsibility seriously. Virtually all of our activities create information assets in one form or another and we have made sure that safeguards are in place to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized use, access, accidental disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Information

We collect information about you that is limited to the type of information that can be found on a typical business card: such as first name, last name, job title, employer company name, work address, work email, and work phone number. In some cases, we may ask you to provide additional information, such as the size of the company you work for and the type of industry, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

To improve and/or update the information provided, we may combine it with professional information or personal data collected from third party sources. Personal data referred to in this document includes the personal and professional information you provide, as well as information we obtain from third-party sources, both of which are generally combined into one record.

This site also automatically collects and stores certain information using cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general location of a computer or device accessing the Internet, browser type, operating system, page view history, and other usage information. This information helps us improve our website and we only use this information for statistical analysis purposes.

However, if a cookie can specifically identify a computer, mobile device or tablet (“Device”), or the person using that Device, and you are a resident of the EU, then this is personal data under the GDPR.

Communications

Under the GDPR regulations GDPR 2016/679, after May 25, 2018, we may otherwise dispose of your personal data in certain circumstances if we obtained it legitimately and your rights and freedoms are not infringed.

We use personal information we collect to correspond with you, interest you in career opportunities, improve the services we provide and present relevant job information and services.

If we process your personal data for legitimate interests, we will do so in a considered and balanced manner, taking into account your data protection rights and other relevant laws. We will never share your personal information with a third party without your explicit consent, and then we will only share the personal information with that one company or individual.

Cookie Policy for BeaconMethod.eu

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Beacon Method, operated by Wehry & Company, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit beaconmethod.eu.

It explains what cookies are, why we use them, which types of cookies may be placed, and how you can manage your preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone when you visit a website.

They help a website function properly. They can also help us understand how visitors use our website, improve the experience, remember preferences, and, where you have given consent, support marketing and analytics.

Cookies placed by Beacon Method are called first-party cookies.

Cookies placed by external providers, such as analytics, video, advertising, or social media platforms, are called third-party cookies.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

1. Make the website work properly.
2. Remember your cookie choices.
3. Improve website performance and user experience.
4. Understand which pages, articles or resources visitors find useful.
5. Measure the effectiveness of our content, campaigns and lead magnets.
6. Show embedded content, such as videos, forms or external tools.
7. Support relevant marketing, only when you have given consent.

We do not use cookies to make automated decisions about your suitability for a role, course, or board position.

3. Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for the website to function.

They may support basic functions such as page navigation, security, form submission, cookie preference storage, and access to protected areas.

These cookies cannot normally be switched off through our cookie preference tool, because the website may not work properly without them.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies help us provide a better, more personalized experience.

They may remember your preferences, such as language, display settings, or previous choices you made on the website.

If you reject these cookies, some functions may work less smoothly.

Analytics and performance cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use beaconmethod.eu.

They may tell us, for example:

1. Which pages are visited most often.
2. How visitors move through the website.
3. Which articles or downloads attract attention.
4. Whether visitors arrive through LinkedIn, Google, email, or another channel.

We use this information to improve our content, structure, and user experience.

Where required by law, we only place these cookies after you have given consent.

Marketing and tracking cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to understand whether our content, campaigns, or advertisements are relevant to visitors.

They may help us measure campaign performance or show content to people who have shown interest in Beacon Method, board readiness, C-suite readiness, or related topics.

These cookies may be placed by third parties, such as advertising platforms, social media platforms, or analytics providers.

We only use these cookies where legally permitted and, where required, after you have given consent.

Embedded content and third-party cookies

Some pages may contain embedded content or external tools, such as videos, scorecards, forms, scheduling tools, or social media links.

These external providers may place their own cookies when you interact with that content.

BeaconMethod.eu does not control all cookies placed by external platforms. We recommend that you read the cookie and privacy policies of those providers.

Unclassified cookies

Some cookies may not yet be fully classified when they are detected.

Where possible, we review and classify cookies regularly.

We recommend keeping unclassified cookies switched off unless you choose to activate them.

4. Similar technologies

Cookies are not the only technology used to recognize or measure website activity.

We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, or tracking scripts.

These technologies may help us understand whether visitors opened an email, clicked a link, viewed a page, completed a form, or came from a specific campaign.

Where these technologies require consent, we will ask for your permission before using them.

5. How you can manage cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner or cookie preference center on beaconmethod.eu.

You can choose to:

1. Accept all cookies.
2. Reject optional cookies.
3. Adjust your preferences by category.
4. Withdraw or change your consent later.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookies.

Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect how the website works.

6. Third-party advertising choices

Some third-party platforms may offer their own tools to manage advertising preferences.

These tools are controlled by the relevant third party, not by Beacon Method.

If you use LinkedIn, Google, Meta or another platform, you can usually adjust your advertising preferences directly in your account settings on that platform.

7. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

1. We add or remove website tools.
2. We change analytics or marketing providers.
3. Legal requirements change.
4. We improve our cookie preference system.

The date at the top of this policy shows when it was last updated.
