•       Analytics providers: If and when we introduce website analytics, usage data will be shared with the relevant provider for the purpose of understanding and improving the site only. We will update this policy before doing so.

All third parties are required to comply with applicable data protection law and may not use your data beyond the specified purpose.

5. International transfers

We store data on servers based in the UK. Where any transfer outside the UK is required (for example via an analytics provider), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — such as adequacy decisions or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Contact us if you would like further detail.

6. Cookies

Our Website uses cookies to support functionality and analytics.

•       Strictly necessary cookies: Required for core functionality. These cannot be disabled.

We currently use strictly necessary cookies only. If we introduce performance or analytics cookies in future, we will update this policy to identify the provider, purpose, and retention period before doing so.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking all cookies may affect Website functionality.

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law (including accounting and tax obligations). Data that no longer identifies you may be retained in anonymised form for analytical purposes.

8. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. No transmission over the internet is entirely secure; you access the Website at your own risk.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites linked from this Website.
