Information we collect

If you contact us, we collect your name, email address, subject and message, together with consent information. We may receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, approximate region and referral source. Some technical information is collected through server logs and essential security tools. We do not ask for special category information and request that you do not include sensitive information in a message.

Cookies and processors

We use essential storage to remember your cookie choice and support basic site operation. Optional analytics or functional technologies will only be used where permitted by your choice and applicable law. Service providers may process hosting, form delivery, security, email or analytics data on our behalf. They may access information only to provide contracted services and must protect it appropriately. We do not sell personal information.

Lawful bases and use

We use contact information to respond to enquiries, based on steps requested by you or our legitimate interest in communicating. We use essential technical data for security and operation. Optional analytics, where enabled, relies on consent. We may use information to comply with legal duties, prevent abuse and maintain records.

Retention and security

Enquiry records are normally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is needed for legal, accounting or dispute purposes. Technical logs are retained for periods appropriate to security and hosting operations. We use access controls, secure connections and reputable processors, but no internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and, where applicable, EU GDPR, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and withdraw consent. You may complain to the relevant supervisory authority. Where CCPA/CPRA applies, California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, delete and opt out of sale or sharing; we do not knowingly sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

International transfers and children

Some processors may operate outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual protections. This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
