User Rights

Your Privacy Rights

You may ask to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, object to certain processing where applicable, or ask us to delete information that is no longer needed or that we are not required to keep. You may also raise concerns about how your data is used and ask for clarification about the choices available to you. We will consider each request on its facts and respond in line with applicable law.

Available rights depend on the nature of the request and any legal limits that apply.
Requests

How to Make a Request

To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Once verified, we will review the request, explain any limits that apply, and respond within a reasonable period or the timeframe required by law. If we cannot fully comply, we will explain the reason where appropriate.

Verified requests are handled through the channels listed in this notice.
Data Retention

How Long We Keep Data

Contact form submissions and related correspondence are retained for the period needed to respond, manage the enquiry, maintain records, and address any follow-up or legal requirement. Technical logs and similar operational records are kept only as long as necessary for security, troubleshooting, and service delivery. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted, anonymised, or otherwise handled in a way that limits further use.

We keep information only for as long as it is needed for the relevant purpose or legal obligation.
Policy Updates

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes, we will update the policy text and may provide a further notice through the website or another appropriate channel. The updated version will apply from the date it is posted unless a different effective date is stated. Please review this notice from time to time so you remain aware of how your information is handled.

We may revise this notice when our practices or legal obligations change.

Data We Collect

When you use our contact form or otherwise reach out to us, we may process your name, email address, phone number if you provide it, inquiry message, and any service preferences you choose to share. We also process limited technical data such as server request metadata and browser or device information to keep the website secure and functioning properly.

We collect only the information needed to handle enquiries and operate the site.
02

How We Receive Data

We receive personal data when you submit a form, send a message, or contact us through our available channels.

Cookie settings can be managed through your browser and, where offered, through site preferences.

Data processing overview

How personal data is used and shared

This section outlines the primary purposes for processing personal data, the categories of recipients involved in service delivery, and the legal context that may govern disclosure.

Processing purpose

Why We Use Data

We process personal data to respond to contact form submissions, manage enquiries, provide requested information, maintain the website, monitor security, and support technical delivery. We also use limited information to keep records, handle follow-up communication, and meet legal or administrative obligations that apply to our operations. We do not use the information for unconfirmed marketing or advertising purposes.

Each use of personal data is tied to a specific operational or legal purpose.
Third-party sharing

Operational Sharing

We may share limited information with service providers that support website hosting, technical delivery, security, or message handling. These parties are expected to use the information only for the services they provide to us and to protect it appropriately. We do not state that broader advertising or analytics partners are in use.

Operational recipients are used only where they are needed to run the website or handle enquiries.
Legal basis

Legal Disclosure

We may disclose personal data to public authorities, regulators, courts, or other parties when we are required to do so by law, when necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others, or when needed to respond to a lawful request. We may also share information where disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, address security issues, or comply with an enforceable process.

Disclosure is limited to situations where the law or a valid process requires it.
