We may collect and process personal data including contact details such as name, email address, and phone number; business information you choose to provide; enquiry details submitted through contact forms or email; technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data; and any other information you voluntarily provide when communicating with us. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

​

Personal data is collected when you submit an enquiry through the website, contact us by email or phone, engage our consultancy services, or browse the website using cookies and analytics tools.

​

We use personal data to respond to enquiries and communications, provide consultancy services, manage client relationships, improve the website and user experience, and comply with legal or regulatory obligations. We only process personal data where there is a lawful basis to do so.

​

Under UK GDPR, the lawful bases we rely on include legitimate interests to operate and grow the business, contractual necessity where processing is required to deliver services, legal obligations where required by law, and consent where you have explicitly provided it.

​

We do not sell or rent personal data. Personal data may be shared with trusted third parties only where necessary, such as website hosting providers, email and productivity services, analytics providers, and professional advisers including accountants or legal advisers. All third parties are required to process data securely and in accordance with data protection law.

​

Where personal data is processed outside the UK, appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure adequate protection in line with UK GDPR requirements.

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes it was collected for and to meet legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements. When no longer required, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

​

You have the right to access your personal data, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, restrict or object to processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent at any time where applicable. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details above.

This website uses cookies to improve functionality and analyse usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Further information may be provided in a separate Cookie Policy if applicable.
