What we collect and why
- Enquiries: if you email, call or use the contact form, we receive your name, contact details, business name and message. We use them to reply and to provide any services you ask for (our legitimate interests, or taking steps to enter a contract).

We don't sell personal information or use it for third-party advertising.
Cookies and analytics

We use it only for website statistics, with Google signals and advertising features switched off, as allowed under UK law's statistical-purposes exception. You can opt out at any time, free of charge, and we'll stop using it and delete its cookies: . - Your cookie choice itself is remembered in your browser's local storage.
Who we share it with
Only service providers that help us run the business and this website, such as our email, hosting (Cloudflare) and analytics (Google) providers, under appropriate data protection terms. Some may process data outside the UK with suitable safeguards.

Enquiries that don't lead to work are deleted within 12 months. Client records are kept for as long as needed for the work and for legal and accounting purposes, typically 6 years.
