Under UK data protection law, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:
Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, manage our business communications, maintain website security, and operate our website efficiently;
Contract — where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to perform a contract with you;
Legal obligation — where we need to keep or disclose information to comply with the law.
Where we ever rely on consent, such as for optional marketing communications, we will ask for it separately and you will be able to withdraw it.
6. Marketing
We do not currently use your personal data for email or text marketing unless you have specifically asked to receive such communications or otherwise agreed to it.
If this changes in future, we will update this privacy policy and any related consent mechanisms as required.
7. Sharing your personal data
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share personal data only where reasonably necessary, including with:
website hosting, IT, or email service providers;
professional advisers such as accountants, legal advisers, or insurers;
subcontractors or suppliers, where relevant to your project and only where appropriate;
public authorities, regulators, or law enforcement where required by law.
Any third party processing personal data on our behalf should only do so for the purposes we specify and with appropriate safeguards in place.
8. International transfers
We are based in the United Kingdom.
If any of our service providers store or process personal data outside the UK, we will take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law.
9. How long we keep personal data
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, provide services, maintain business records, and meet legal, accounting, or tax obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the enquiry or project. When personal data is no longer required, we will delete it or securely dispose of it.
10. Website logs and technical data
Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser type, device type, and server log information.
We use this information for website administration, security, troubleshooting, and to help keep the website working properly.

Our website may use essential cookies or similar technologies required for the basic operation, security, and functionality of the website.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. You should read their privacy policies before submitting personal data to them.
13. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
