The Company is the controller of the personal information described here.
Why we process information
We process personal information where necessary to respond to enquiries, provide or prepare our services, perform contracts, meet legal obligations and pursue legitimate business interests such as operating and improving the Site. Where consent is required, including for certain optional cookies or marketing, we will seek it separately. Merely using the Site does not amount to consent to every use described in this policy.
Information we collect
We may collect technical and usage information when you visit the Site, such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language settings, access times, pages viewed and interactions. Some of this information can identify a person and is therefore personal information.
When you email or otherwise contact us, we receive the information you provide, which may include your name, company, email address, telephone number and the content of your enquiry. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
Where information comes from
- Information you provide directly when you contact us or work with us.

- To maintain, secure and improve the Site and understand its use, where the relevant tools are enabled.
- To send marketing communications where you have agreed or where the law permits, with an option to opt out.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share it with service providers who support hosting, email, storage, communications or analytics, and with professional advisers, regulators or authorities where appropriate. Those providers may process information on our behalf under suitable safeguards. We may also share information in connection with a corporate transaction, subject to applicable law.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access to your personal information, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or objection to processing. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it. These rights are subject to applicable exceptions and conditions.

How long we keep information
We retain personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including providing services, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes and meeting legal or regulatory obligations. The appropriate period depends on the information, its purpose and applicable requirements. We delete or anonymise information when it is no longer needed.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies and similar technologies can store or access information on your device. Essential technologies may be used to operate the Site. If optional analytics or marketing technologies are introduced, the Site should provide the applicable choices before they are used.
Cookies may be temporary session cookies, persistent cookies that remain for a set period, or third-party cookies set by external services. Their actual use depends on the services enabled on the live Site.
If Google Analytics is enabled, it may collect information about visits and interactions to help improve the Site. Its use, the information collected and the relevant choices should be confirmed in the live cookie notice and settings. Google’s handling of information is described in its own privacy documentation.
Other websites and providers
This policy covers our own processing. When you follow a link to another website or use a third-party service, that organisation’s privacy terms may also apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of organisations we do not control.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, and expect providers processing information on our behalf to use appropriate safeguards. No internet transmission or system can be guaranteed completely secure.
International transfers
Some service providers may process personal information outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where this happens, we use an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate contractual and other safeguards required by relevant data protection law.
