Enquiry data is used solely to respond to you and, if we go on to work together, to manage that engagement. The lawful basis is legitimate interests — responding to a business enquiry you initiated — and, once an engagement begins, performance of a contract. Enquiry data is not used for marketing, and it is not sold or shared with third parties for their own purposes.
Your data is handled by the services that run this website and my email: the website host, the service used to deliver form submissions by email, and my email provider. Each acts as a processor under contract and only on my instructions. No data is transferred outside the UK or European Economic Area except where those providers do so under an approved safeguard.
Enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted within twelve months. Records relating to an engagement are kept for six years after it ends, in line with UK statutory limitation periods and HMRC record-keeping requirements.
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published on this page and the date at the top updated. Material changes affecting how your data is used will be notified directly where I hold an address for you.
