Your details, kept close.
This notice explains what happens to the information you share with The BEST Collective, and why this website uses no cookies.
Who we are

Susan Van Meter Interiors is a trading name of D'Eco Interior Design Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 14223947, registered office 167-169 Great Portland Street, London W1W 5PF. D'Eco Interior Design Ltd is responsible for the personal information described here. You can reach us at info@susanvanmeter.com or on 07713 951466.
What we collect
When you request an invitation, the questionnaire asks for your name, company, job title, profession, website, business address, telephone number, email address and LinkedIn profile, plus the seat you would like to take.
While you fill it in, your answers are saved in your own browser so you can leave and come back without starting again. They stay on your device until you press send, and are cleared once your application has gone. You can also clear them yourself with "Start again".
When you press send, your answers go straight from your browser to Susan by email, through Web3Forms, a form-to-email service. They are not stored on this website's server. Web3Forms' own privacy policy is at web3forms.com/privacy. If you email or call us directly, we receive whatever you choose to tell us.
How we use it
- To consider your application and contact you about it.
- If you become a member, to organise meetings and events and to introduce you to fellow members.
- If your seat is taken, to keep you on a waiting list, if you ask us to.
We rely on our legitimate interest in running the Collective, and on steps you have asked us to take before joining. We never sell your details or use them for unrelated marketing.
Who sees it
Susan and the Collective's membership team. Once you are a member, your name, company and profession are shared with other members. Web3Forms (which delivers applications to Susan by email) and our email provider handle applications and messages on our behalf.
How long we keep it
Applications are not kept on this website. Applications that do not lead to membership are deleted from our email within 12 months too, unless you ask to stay on a waiting list. Members' details are kept for as long as they remain members, and for a short period afterwards.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email info@susanvanmeter.com. If you are unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Cookies
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or tracking. Fonts and images are served from this site itself, so visiting it does not send your details to anyone else.
The only thing it stores on your device is your unsent application, as described above. That is needed for the form you are filling in to work, and it is never sent anywhere until you choose to send it.
