We may share personal information with trusted service providers where necessary, including:

  • Cloudflare and other website infrastructure or security providers where enabled

  • The UK International Data Transfer Agreement

You may contact us if you would like further information about the safeguards relevant to your information.


8. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Normally:

  • Enquiries that do not become client relationships may be retained for up to 12 months after our last meaningful contact.

  • Client and service records may be retained for the duration of the relationship and for up to six years afterwards where needed for contractual, accounting, tax or legal purposes.

  • Marketing preferences may be kept until consent is withdrawn or you object. We may retain a minimal suppression record so that we can respect an opt-out.

  • Technical and security logs are retained according to operational need and the retention arrangements of our website providers.

Information may be retained for longer where required by law, an active dispute, fraud prevention or a regulatory investigation.


9. Cookies and analytics

We also do not currently use separate third-party analytics tools.

Our hosting and security providers may use essential technologies or process limited technical information where necessary to:

  • Deliver the website

  • Maintain security

  • Prevent spam and misuse

  • Balance network traffic

  • Remember essential technical preferences

If optional analytics, advertising technology or other consent-requiring cookies are introduced, we will update this policy and provide an appropriate cookie notice or consent mechanism before using them.

These measures include limiting access to information, using reputable service providers and applying appropriate website and account security.
