This information is stored electronically and accessed only for legitimate business purposes, including responding to enquiries, communicating about our services, and improving our website and user experience.

Our website uses cookies to improve functionality, analyse website performance, and enhance user experience.

We use CookieYes as our cookie consent management platform, allowing you to manage your cookie preferences at any time and ensuring non-essential cookies are only placed with your consent.

In addition, we may use tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors interact with our website.

Legitimate interests - responding to enquiries and operating our business

Contractual necessity - where an enquiry leads to the provision of services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties.

Your information may only be shared with third parties where necessary to operate our website (e.g., analytics providers) or where required by law. All third-party services we use comply with UK data protection requirements.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Enquiry data is typically retained for a reasonable period after the last contact, unless a longer retention period is required for legal or business reasons.
