Automatically: cookies and similar technologies (see Cookie Policy).

From third parties (lawfully): referral partners or publicly available sources in a B2B context.

5) Cookies and similar technologies

We use a Squarespace cookie banner configured for opt-in consent. Non-essential analytics/advertising scripts are restricted until you accept. You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in our footer. See cookie policy for details.

6) Sharing your data (recipients)

We share data with trusted processors acting under our instructions, for example:

We require processors to protect your data and process it only as instructed. We may also share data where required by law or to protect rights and safety. We do not sell your personal data.

7) International transfers

Some providers are outside the UK/EEA. When data is transferred internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA) and/or EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as recognised in the UK, or other valid mechanisms.

8) Retention

  • Enquiries: up to 24 months from last interaction unless needed longer for ongoing matters.

  • Marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe or consent becomes inactive (typically up to 24 months).

  • Recruitment applications: 6–12 months unless you ask us to keep them longer.
