Depending on the context, we process personal information because:

  • You have given consent, particularly for email updates
  • We must meet a legal obligation, including maintaining financial and company records

We do not sell personal information.

Where external expertise is involved in a project, the handling of relevant information will be agreed before it is shared.

International data transfers

Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards required by UK data protection law.

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed:

  • General enquiries are normally retained for up to two years
  • Client, contractual and financial records may be retained for six years to meet legal and accounting requirements

  • Correct inaccurate information
