Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read the Site. If you contact us by email, we receive the details you choose to share (such as your name and email address). We also collect limited, non-identifying technical data (such as browser type and pages viewed) to keep the Site working and secure.
How We Use Information
We use the information solely to respond to your enquiries, to maintain the safety and performance of the Site, and to improve our content. We do not sell your personal information.
Legal Basis
Under the UK GDPR, we process any personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site and responding to enquiries, and, where applicable, your consent.
Cookies
We use only essential cookies and local storage necessary for the Site to function and to remember your cookie choice. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Sharing
We do not share your personal information with third parties except where required by law or to trusted service providers who help us operate the Site, under appropriate safeguards.
International Transfers
The Site is operated from the United Kingdom. If you contact us from outside the UK, your information will be transferred to and processed in the UK. Where any service provider we use is located outside the UK or the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards — such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement — to protect your data.
Children (COPPA)
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. In line with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable UK/EU rules, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any right, contact us at the address above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Data Retention
We keep enquiry correspondence only as long as necessary to deal with your request and to meet our legal obligations, after which it is deleted.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational security measures — including encrypted transport (HTTPS) and access controls — to protect information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data.
Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time; the “last updated” date above reflects the current version.
