Automated technologies or interactions: As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

Consent: Where you have given us clear, explicit consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose (for example, signing up to a newsletter).

Legitimate Interests: Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (for example, responding to an enquiry you sent via our contact form).

Legal Obligation: Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Purposes for Which We Will Use Your Personal Data

To respond to your messages: When you contact us via a contact form, we use your Identity and Contact data to reply to your specific query.

5. Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with trusted third-party service providers who help us run our website and communication channels, such as:

Website hosting providers and IT administration services.

Email marketing platform providers (if you subscribe to a mailing list).

Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to monitor website performance.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes.

6. International Transfers

Some of our external third-party service providers (such as email marketing platforms or web hosts) may be based outside the UK, meaning their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring standard contractual clauses or adequacy regulations are in place.

7. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine operational need to know.

8. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Contact Form Submissions: Retained for a period of 1 year following the resolution of your inquiry, unless continuing correspondence is required.

Newsletter Sign-ups: Retained until you choose to unsubscribe or request your data be deleted. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any email we send.

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request").
