4. Our legal reasons for using your information

Under UK data-protection law, we must have a valid reason for using personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we rely on:

  • Consent when you choose to receive marketing emails;

  • Contract when information is needed to provide a service or take steps at your request;

  • Legitimate interests when responding to enquiries, managing the business or improving the website, provided your rights are not unfairly affected;

  • Legal obligation when we must retain or disclose information to comply with the law.

You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting us.

5. Who we share information with

We may use trusted service providers to operate the website and business, including:

  • Squarespace, which hosts the website and may process website or form information;

  • email and mailing-list providers;

  • analytics and security providers;

  • professional advisers, accountants or technology providers;

  • public authorities when disclosure is required by law.

These providers may only use the information to deliver their services to us and must protect it appropriately.

Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate legal safeguards are in place.

  • marketing information is retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent;

  • client, contractual and financial records may be retained for up to six years after the relationship ends, or longer where the law requires it;

  • website and analytics information is retained according to the settings of the relevant service.

We may keep a minimal record of an unsubscribe request to ensure that we do not contact you again.
