How We Comply
We do not store personal data in databases or user accounts. Any data collected automatically (e.g., IP addresses, browser type, pages visited) is used solely for site analytics and is retained only as necessary for operational purposes. We use privacy-friendly analytics tools and ensure cookies are only deployed with appropriate consent mechanisms.
Data We Process
The personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookie identifiers (if consent is given)
This data is processed anonymously where possible and never linked to identifiable individuals unless voluntarily provided via contact forms.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest for website functionality, security, and performance optimisation. We do not rely on consent for essential site operations, but we do seek explicit consent before using non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.

No Discrimination Policy
We will never deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised your rights under UK GDPR.
