Data we collect
We collect information that you choose to send through the contact form or by email, such as your name, email address, subject line and message. We also collect basic technical information that a web server receives when a page is requested, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page and time of request. This information is used for security, troubleshooting and delivery of the site.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses storage for cookie choices and may use cookies for essential functions, analytics preferences and functional settings. The cookie banner lets you accept all optional cookies, reject non-essential cookies or open preferences. More detail is provided in the cookie policy. You can also clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings.
How we use information
Contact details are used to respond to your message, handle corrections, manage requests and keep a record of correspondence where needed. Technical data is used to keep the site available, investigate misuse, improve page performance and understand whether pages are functioning as intended. We do not sell personal data.
Processors and sharing
Personal data may be processed by hosting providers, email service providers, security tools and professional advisers where necessary for the operation of the site or compliance with legal obligations. Each processor is expected to handle data under appropriate contractual and security duties. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the site, users or publisher.
Legal basis and rights
For visitors in the United Kingdom, processing is handled under the UK data protection regime, including UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act. Where the EU GDPR applies, comparable rights may apply. These rights can include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and portability. Where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies, California visitors may have rights to know, delete, correct and opt out of certain sharing. We do not sell personal information as that term is commonly used in privacy law.
Retention
Contact messages are kept only for as long as needed to answer the enquiry, manage any follow-up and maintain reasonable records. Server logs are kept for limited operational and security periods. Cookie choices remain until cleared by you or replaced by a later choice. Longer retention may apply where a legal duty, dispute or security issue requires it.
International transfers and security
Service providers may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom. Where required, safeguards such as contractual protections are used. No website can guarantee absolute security, but reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to reduce risk, including access control and limited retention.
Privacy contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected]. You may also contact the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you have concerns about data protection handling.
