What We Collect
• Contact form submissions: your name, email address, organisation (if provided), and the content of your message.
• Automatically, via cookies and built-in analytics: IP address, browser type, and pages visited.
Why We Collect It
We use this information to respond to your enquiry and to understand how the website is used, so we can improve it. We do not use your data for marketing without your explicit consent, and we do not sell or share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Legal Basis for Processing
• Contact form data: processed on the basis of legitimate interest, to respond to the enquiry you have initiated.
• Analytics/cookies: processed on the basis of your consent, given via the cookie banner on first visit.
How Long We Keep It
• Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to and follow up on your enquiry, and are deleted if no engagement follows, typically within 24 months.
• Analytics data is retained according to the standard periods set by our website and hosting providers.
Third-Party Processors
We use the following third-party services, each of which processes data on our behalf under their own GDPR-compliant safeguards:
• Squarespace – website hosting and built-in analytics.
• Google Workspace – business email.
Note: Consider linking each provider's own privacy policy here once the page is live (Squarespace's and Google's privacy policy URLs).

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of that data.
• Object to or request restriction of our processing.
