5. Legal Basis for Processing
Where required by applicable law — including the UK GDPR (and the Data Protection Act 2018) — we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Your consent, e.g. for non-essential cookies or optional communications (newsletter, marketing, etc.).

- Legal obligation, where applicable (e.g., compliance with applicable laws).
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect usage data, remember preferences, and provide certain Site functionality.
- Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function (e.g., session cookies).
- Others are non-essential (e.g., analytics, performance, advertising).
Where non-essential cookies are used, we will seek your consent before placing them, and we will provide you with a clear way to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may manage your cookie preferences at any time.
If you disable or reject cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.
For more information about cookies and how we use them, please see the “Cookie Notice” (or the cookies section below).
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
For example:
- Data collected for communications (e.g., contact form submissions) may be retained until we have responded or until you request deletion.
- Automatically collected usage data may be anonymised or aggregated after a reasonable period (e.g., for analytics).
If you would like us to delete or anonymise your personal data earlier, please contact us at [contact email].
8. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures include (but are not limited to): secure hosting, HTTPS encryption, access controls, and routine security reviews.
Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Disclosure of Your Data / Third-Party Services
We may share your personal data with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., analytics, hosting, email services). Where we do so, we ensure they are under contractual obligations to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
If required by law or legal process, we may also disclose your information (e.g., to comply with a court order, protect rights, investigate fraud).
10. International Data Transfers
If we transfer your personal data to third parties based outside the UK (or the European Economic Area), we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g., standard contractual clauses, comparable privacy protection) so that your data remains protected.
