6. Sharing & third parties
We do not sell personal data. We may share limited data with:
- IT service providers who host the website or support our email systems, acting under data processing agreements.
- Professional advisors (for example, legal or tax advisors) where necessary to obtain advice.
- Public authorities, where disclosure is required by law.
This website loads a small number of third-party resources — a web font/icon library and image assets used for design purposes — served from third-party content delivery networks. These providers may process technical data such as your IP address as part of standard content delivery.
7. International transfers
Where a service provider is located outside the European Economic Area, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, before any personal data is transferred.
8. Retention
We retain enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to answer your question and for a reasonable period afterwards to handle any follow-up, generally not exceeding 24 months unless a longer period is required by law. Server logs are typically retained for a short period for security purposes and then deleted or anonymised.
