5. Purposes and Lawful Bases for Processing
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so.
Contact and Business Enquiries
We process information you provide when contacting us in order to respond to your enquiry, discuss potential projects or services and communicate with you.
Lawful basis: legitimate interests and, where relevant, taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Where you become a client or business partner, we may process personal data as necessary to provide our services, administer our contractual relationship and communicate regarding projects.
Lawful basis: performance of a contract, legitimate interests and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.
Website Operation and Security
We may process technical information necessary to operate, maintain, secure and protect our website and IT infrastructure.
This may include IP addresses, server logs, security information and technical device information.
Lawful basis: legitimate interests in operating and protecting our website, systems and business.
Website Analytics
Where analytics technologies are used, we may process information about how visitors interact with our website to understand website performance and improve our services.
Where consent is legally required for the relevant technology, such processing will only take place after consent has been obtained.
Marketing Communications
Where permitted by law, we may use contact information to provide information about our services, company developments or other relevant business communications.
Where consent is required, marketing communications will only be sent after obtaining valid consent.
You may withdraw your consent or object to direct marketing at any time.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation, functionality and security of the website. Other technologies, such as analytics, embedded media or marketing technologies, may require your consent.
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be activated until you have made your choice through our consent management system.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings available on our website.
Further information is provided in our Cookie Policy.
This distinction is important: the ICO requires clear information about cookies and an appropriate consent mechanism for technologies that are not strictly necessary, subject to the applicable statutory exceptions.

If you contact us through our website or by email, we process the information you provide for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and, where appropriate, establishing or managing a business relationship.
The information may be stored within our email systems, hosting infrastructure or other business systems used to manage communications.
We retain such information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and to comply with applicable legal requirements.

If we offer a newsletter or other electronic marketing communications, we may process your email address and, where applicable, your name and communication preferences.
Where consent is required, we will obtain your consent before sending such communications.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe function contained in the relevant communication or by contacting us at:
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
9. Recipients and Service Providers
We may share personal data with trusted third-party service providers where necessary for the operation of our business and website.
These may include:
- website hosting and IT service providers;
- email and communication providers;
- website maintenance and security providers;

10. International Data Transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate measures to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable UK data protection law.
Depending on the destination and circumstances, these measures may include applicable adequacy regulations, recognised contractual safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information, the purpose of processing, contractual requirements and applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
When personal data is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it where reasonably practicable.
The ICO specifically requires a privacy notice to explain the retention period or, where a fixed period cannot be stated, the criteria used to determine it.
12. Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, accidental loss or destruction.
Access to personal data is limited to persons and service providers who require access for legitimate business purposes.
However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to statutory conditions and exceptions. The applicable rights also depend partly on the legal basis used for the processing.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may also have the right to object to the relevant processing based on your particular circumstances.
