Our website may include embedded content, such as videos, maps, social media content or other third-party features.

Embedded content from other websites may behave as if you visited that third-party website directly. These third parties may collect data, use cookies, track your interaction with the embedded content, or combine this with information they already hold about you.

Our website may also contain links to third-party websites. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their privacy policies or how they handle your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Where required, non-essential cookies from embedded content will only be used with your consent.

Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside the UK or European Economic Area.

Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information, such as standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

We only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary.

Contact form enquiries will usually be kept for up to 24 months after the last communication, unless we need to keep them longer for legal, regulatory, accounting or legitimate business reasons.

Website analytics and cookie data may be kept for different periods depending on the settings used by Squarespace, Google Analytics or other third-party tools.

13. How we protect your information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
