    • Website usage data — such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referral source, collected automatically when you use our site (see Section 4, Cookies).

    • To respond to enquiries and provide information about our services — legal basis: legitimate interests (responding to business enquiries) and/or steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract.

    • To manage and improve our website — legal basis: legitimate interests (keeping our site secure and functioning correctly).

    • To comply with legal and regulatory obligations — legal basis: legal obligation.

    • Where you have given consent (for example, non-essential cookies) — legal basis: consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

    We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell your personal data to third parties.

    4. Cookies and similar technologies

    Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help it function and to understand how visitors use it. These may include:

    • Strictly necessary cookies, required for the website to operate correctly.

    • Analytics cookies, which help us understand visitor numbers and behaviour so we can improve the site (used only with your consent, where required).

    • Third-party embeds, such as LinkedIn or Instagram content, which may set their own cookies subject to that provider's own privacy policy.

    You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website functions. Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, we will ask for it before those cookies are set.

    5. Who we share your data with

    • Professional advisers (such as accountants or solicitors) where necessary.

    We do not share personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

    6. How long we keep your data

    We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected. Enquiry correspondence is typically retained for as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable period afterwards for business and legal record-keeping purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
