Last updated: 22 July 2026

1. Who we are

2. What data we collect

  • Contact form submissions: name, email, phone (optional), budget (optional), your message, the consent you gave, timestamp, browser user-agent and a one-way hash of your IP address (for fraud prevention — the raw IP is not stored).
  • Analytics data (only with consent): pages visited, buttons clicked, referring site, approximate location (country/city), device type. Collected via Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled.
  • Essential cookies: a small local record of your cookie choice so we don't ask again.

3. Why we use it (lawful basis)

  • Consent (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)): for analytics cookies and for us to contact you about your enquiry.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): to keep the website secure and functional.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): to comply with tax, accounting and other legal duties.

4. How long we keep it

  • Enquiry data: up to 24 months from your last contact, then deleted.
  • Client records (if you become a client): 7 years after the end of our engagement (UK tax rules).
  • Analytics: standard Google Analytics 4 retention (14 months) with IP anonymisation.

5. Who we share it with

We never sell your data. We share it only with providers that help us operate:

  • Google Analytics — anonymised usage analytics.
  • Our hosting & database provider — to store enquiries securely.
  • Regulators, law enforcement or professional advisers if legally required.

6. Cookies

We use two categories of cookies:

  • Essential: a single record of your cookie choice. Always active.
  • Analytics (optional): Google Analytics 4 cookies (_ga, _ga_*), only set after you click "Accept".

You can change your choice at any time using the link.

7. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
