This website. We run no analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party scripts. The hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for operational and security purposes only.

Booking a call. The booking link opens an external Cal.eu page. Review the privacy information on that service before submitting your details.

Direct contact. When you email or call us, we hold your contact details and the content of the communication for as long as is necessary to respond and to meet business and legal records-retention obligations.

Engagements. If we work together, we hold the business contact information and engagement records needed to deliver the service and meet our professional obligations.

We process personal information under the following lawful bases in the UK GDPR: legitimate interest (responding to enquiries, maintaining the site, providing requested services); contract (delivering services under a formal engagement); and legal obligation (records retention, tax, professional standards).

Enquiry correspondence is held for up to 24 months after last contact, unless an engagement results, in which case it forms part of the engagement record. Engagement records are held for the duration of the engagement and for at least six years after it ends, in line with normal UK business and tax retention requirements. Server logs are retained by the hosting provider in line with its policy.

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing. Information may be shared where necessary to deliver an engagement (for example, with the client’s internal teams) or where required by law.
