How we use your information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries and communicate with you; provide and manage the services you request; process bookings or orders where applicable; maintain appropriate business and financial records; and meet our legal and regulatory obligations.
Our lawful basis for using your information
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal information because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you; to comply with a legal obligation; or for our legitimate interests in operating and managing our organisation and responding to enquiries, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
Where necessary, we may share information with organisations that help us operate and provide our services, such as website hosting, email, IT, payment, booking, accounting and other professional service providers.
We may also disclose information where required by law.
Where a service provider processes personal information outside the UK, we will use appropriate safeguards where required by data protection law.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including meeting legal, accounting and regulatory requirements.
An enquiry that does not result in an ongoing relationship will not be kept for longer than reasonably necessary.
Cookies and website information
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for it to operate correctly.
If we use analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent where required.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have rights over your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include rights to ask us for access to your information, correct inaccurate information, delete information, restrict how it is used, object to certain uses, and receive or transfer certain information.
