This policy applies to all personal data collected through your use of the Site, including data submitted via the contact form, data collected through cookies and analytics tools, and data generated through your general browsing activity on the Site.

3. Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data in the following circumstances:

3.1 Contact Form Submissions

When you use the contact form on the Site, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

3.2 Usage Data and Analytics

We collect anonymised usage data to understand how visitors engage with the Site. This may include your approximate geographic region (country or city level), the pages you visit, the duration of your visit, the type of device and browser you use, and the referring URL. This data does not directly identify you and is used only to improve the editorial content and structure of the Site.

3.3 Cookies

The Site uses cookies to store your preferences and to support the analytics functioning described above. Full details of the cookies we use, their purpose, and how to manage them are set out in our Cookie Policy.

3.4 Data You Volunteer

If you correspond with us by email directly (rather than through the contact form), the content of that correspondence, including any personal data contained within it, may be retained on our email system. We retain such data only as long as necessary to complete the relevant correspondence.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases as defined in the UK GDPR:

  • Legitimate interests — processing anonymised usage data to improve the Site and its editorial content.
  • Consent — placing non-essential cookies on your device, where you have accepted them via the cookie banner.
  • Contractual necessity — responding to contact form submissions and correspondence you have initiated.

5. Data Retention

Contact form data is retained for no longer than twelve months from the date of submission, or until the correspondence has been resolved and is no longer needed, whichever is sooner. Anonymised analytics data may be retained for up to twenty-four months to allow for year-on-year editorial performance comparisons.

When data is no longer needed for its original purpose, it is deleted or anonymised in a manner consistent with the requirements of the UK GDPR. We do not retain personal data speculatively or in anticipation of future need.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data with third parties. We may share anonymised, aggregated data with third-party analytics providers for the purpose of understanding site usage patterns. We may also share data with our hosting infrastructure provider, strictly as necessary for the functioning of the Site.

Where third-party services are used (such as analytics or mapping embeds), those services may independently collect data about your visit in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

7. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • The right to request erasure of your personal data.
  • The right to object to or restrict the way we process your personal data.
  • The right to data portability, where applicable.
  • The right to withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis for processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within thirty days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

8. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. The Site is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are transmitted securely. Access to any stored personal data is limited to the editorial team members who require it to respond to correspondence.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure. While we take these precautions seriously, we cannot provide an absolute ensure of security. If you have concerns about the security of personal data you have shared with us, please contact us directly.

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the way we handle personal data or to comply with changes in applicable law.
