Where third-party services are used, information may be processed on their infrastructure subject to their own security practices and contractual terms.

5. Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies, similar technologies and analytics tools to understand traffic patterns, improve performance and measure engagement. These tools may collect limited technical information such as browser type, pages visited, date and time of access, and approximate location based on IP address.

Where Google Analytics or similar measurement tools are used, information is processed according to those providers’ systems. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may work differently if cookies are disabled.

6. Retention and security

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, or support ongoing customer relationships.

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to help protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. No online system can guarantee absolute security, but we aim to apply practical and appropriate safeguards for the size and nature of our business.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or request deletion where lawful and appropriate. You may also object to certain processing or ask questions about how your information is handled.

If you believe your information has been processed unlawfully or unfairly, please contact us first so we can investigate and try to resolve the matter promptly.
