  • To comply with legal obligations

4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK/EU visitors)

Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Consent – for example, marketing emails and non-essential cookies

  • Contract – where we need your information to provide a service you requested

  • Legitimate interests – for example, improving our Website and keeping it secure, where this is not outweighed by your rights

  • Legal obligation – where the law requires us to process your information

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to make the Website work, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our site. Types of cookies we may use:

  • Essential cookies – needed for the Website to function

  • Analytics cookies – help us understand usage (Google Analytics and the like)

  • Marketing cookies – used to show relevant advertising, if applicable

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Website works.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

  • Service providers who help us run the Website (hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processing, customer support)

  • Professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants and insurers

  • Authorities, where required by law or to protect our rights

  • A successor business, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets

These parties may only use your information to provide services to us and must protect it appropriately.

7. International Transfers

Some of our service providers are located outside your country. Where we transfer personal information internationally, we take steps to ensure it is protected, such as using approved safeguards like standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you

  • Request deletion of your information

  • Restrict or object to our processing

10. Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our emails, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any message or by contacting us. We will still send you service-related messages where necessary.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
