Dates and times of visits.
Squarespace needs certain information to operate this website and to protect and improve its platform and services.
Contact data
If you contact us using a form or email link on this website, we will collect the information you provide. This will typically include your name, email address, telephone number and any information included in your message.
When you submit information through a website form, that information is provided to Squarespace, our website hosting provider, so it can provide its services and help us manage and respond to your enquiry.
Please do not provide sensitive personal information through our contact forms unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
How we use your personal data
We use website and usage data to:
Operate and secure the website;
Understand website traffic and activity;
Improve the website and visitors’ experience; and
Detect and prevent malicious or fraudulent activity.
We use contact data to:
Respond to your enquiry;
Communicate with you about your request; and
Keep an appropriate record of our correspondence.
We process this information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating the website, responding to enquiries and protecting our services. Where consent is legally required, including for non-essential analytics cookies, we rely on your consent.
Who we share your personal data with
We provide website and usage information to Squarespace, our website hosting and analytics provider.
We also provide Squarespace with information submitted through website forms where this is necessary for it to provide website services to us.
Squarespace may use certain technical information about website visitors for its own purposes, including operating, protecting and improving its platform and services. You can learn more in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.
We will not share your personal data with another organisation for its own purposes unless you have agreed to this or we are required to do so by law.
International processing
Squarespace and its service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, Squarespace describes the safeguards it uses in its Privacy Policy.
How we keep your personal data secure
We are committed to protecting your personal data. We use appropriate physical, electronic and managerial measures designed to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss.
Traffic between your browser and this website is encrypted using SSL. A padlock icon should appear in your browser’s address bar when the connection is secure.
No method of transmitting or storing information online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
How long we keep your personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
Contact information and correspondence will be deleted when they are no longer required, unless we need to retain them for legal, accounting or legitimate business purposes.
Squarespace retains information in accordance with its own privacy policy and retention practices.
In some circumstances, we may anonymise information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We may use anonymised information indefinitely for research or statistical purposes.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
Ask us to delete your personal data;
Ask us to restrict or stop processing your personal data;
Object to certain uses of your personal data;
Withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent; and
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or another organisation.
These rights are not absolute, and a request may sometimes be refused where another legal requirement or exemption applies.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters, at www.ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns first, so please contact us using the details above.
