Privacy Policy

Enquiry details are used to respond to your message, to arrange and prepare for a scoping conversation, and to keep a record of the correspondence. Server logs are used to keep the site running and to investigate faults or abuse. We do not use enquiry data for marketing and we do not sell it.

• Replying to the enquiry you sent and answering any follow-up questions you raise.
• Deciding whether we are the right partner for the work and preparing a scoping discussion.
• Keeping a factual record so that anyone picking up the thread later has the context.
• Watching the site for faults, unusual traffic and abuse so it stays available to everyone else.

We process enquiry data on the basis of legitimate interests in responding to a business enquiry you have initiated, and where a contract follows, on the basis of performing that contract. Server log processing is carried out on the basis of legitimate interests in maintaining the security and availability of the site.

Enquiry correspondence is retained for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry and any resulting engagement, and thereafter for a reasonable period to meet legal, tax and accounting obligations. Server logs are retained for a limited period by our hosting provider and then deleted.

If you ask us to delete correspondence and we are not required to hold it for another reason, we remove it from the working inbox and any related request record. Where correspondence is tied to a live engagement, the retention terms in that engagement's contract set the period and are applied instead.

We do not sell personal data. Data may be processed by service providers who host the website or provide email services on our behalf, and may be disclosed where required by law or to establish or defend legal claims. Where a service provider processes data outside the UK, appropriate safeguards are put in place.

Where a service provider sits outside the UK, we rely on the safeguards that apply to the transfer and require the provider to handle the data only for the purpose we engaged them for. We do not pass enquiry details to commercial marketing lists under any circumstances.

Under UK data protection law you may request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or erased, object to or restrict its processing, or request that it be transferred to another controller. Requests can be sent to [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

We may ask you to confirm your identity before responding to a request so that we do not disclose data to the wrong person. You can also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office if you are not satisfied with how we have handled a request.
