Legal Basis and Consent

We process personal information when you voluntarily submit it for a lawful purpose, such as requesting a consultation. We also process limited technical information for website security, functionality, analytics, and legitimate operational purposes.

How Your Information Is Shared

We do not sell your personal information. We may share or process information through trusted service providers that help operate the website and handle enquiries, including:

• Netlify, for website hosting, form handling, form storage, spam filtering, and email notifications
• Email service providers, for receiving and responding to enquiries
• Google Analytics, for aggregated website traffic and usage analytics
• Professional advisers or authorities, if required to comply with law, protect rights, or respond to lawful requests

These providers may process data on servers located outside your state or country. By using the website and submitting the form, you understand that your information may be processed through such third-party infrastructure.

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use Google Analytics and similar technologies to understand traffic, page views, device types, and general visitor behavior. Analytics data helps improve the website and is not used to make automated decisions about consultation requests.

You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some analytics or website functionality, but the main website content should remain available.

Data Retention

We keep enquiry and communication records only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, manage the consultation relationship, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. If you want your form submission deleted, contact us using the details below.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect submitted information. The website uses HTTPS on deployment, Netlify form handling, spam controls, and security headers. No website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices and Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request:

• Access to personal information you submitted
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion of your submitted enquiry, where legally and operationally possible
• Withdrawal of consent for future contact related to your enquiry

Third-Party Links

The website may include links to third-party websites or social media platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.
