‍ ‍How we use your data and our legal basis

We use personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so under the UK GDPR.

To respond to enquiries and provide our services. Where you contact us or engage us, we process your data to reply, prepare proposals and deliver work. Our lawful basis is the performance of a contract, or our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries.

To send updates you have requested. Where you have signed up to receive updates from us, we process your contact details on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

To understand and improve how the site is used. We use analytics data to measure traffic, understand visitor behaviour and improve the site. Our lawful basis is your consent, given through our cookie banner.

For advertising and measurement. We use advertising and conversion-tracking tools to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and, where applicable, to reach relevant audiences. Our lawful basis is your consent, given through our cookie banner.

To meet legal obligations. We may process data where necessary to comply with the law, for example keeping records for tax purposes.

Cookies and tracking ‍

The site uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files placed on your device that allow the site to function and allow us to understand how the site is used.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work and do not require your consent. All other cookies, including the analytics and advertising cookies described below, are only set after you have given your consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link on the site. ‍

We use the following third-party tools that may set cookies or process your data.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Provided by Google, GA4 helps us understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are most visited and how people arrive at the site. GA4 may process information such as your IP address, device and usage data. For more information, see Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Ads conversion tracking. Provided by Google, this helps us measure the effectiveness of our advertising by recording actions such as form submissions that follow a click on one of our ads. It may set cookies and process usage data for this purpose. For more information, see policies.google.com/privacy.

LinkedIn Insight Tag. Provided by LinkedIn, this helps us measure the performance of our campaigns and understand the professional profile of site visitors in aggregate. It may set cookies and process usage data. For more information, see LinkedIn's privacy policy at www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

‍ You can also control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using Google's opt-out browser add-on.

  • where required by law, regulation or legal process.

International transfers‍ ‍

Some of our providers, including Google and LinkedIn, are based outside the UK and may process your data in countries whose data protection laws differ from those in the UK. Where data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement (or the UK addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses), to ensure your data remains protected.‍ ‍

How long we keep your data

‍ ‍We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

‍ ‍

  • Enquiry and correspondence data is kept for [e.g. 24 months] after our last contact, unless we go on to work together, in which case we keep it for the duration of the engagement and for [e.g. 6 years] afterwards for legal and accounting purposes.

  • Analytics and advertising data is retained according to the retention settings of the relevant provider. GA4 data is retained for [e.g. 14 months].
