Privacy Policy

Information You Provide

When you submit an enquiry or communicate with us, we may collect:

• Your name and contact details.
• Your country or general location.
• Your company, organisation and professional role.
• The nature and contents of your enquiry.
• The site referred to in your enquiry.
• Subsequent correspondence and related records.

Please do not submit passwords, bank details, identity documents, medical information or other highly sensitive information through the website contact form.

Website and Security Data

Our website host and security systems may process limited technical information when the website is accessed or a form is submitted.

This may include an IP address, browser or device information, access time, requested pages, server logs and information used to detect spam, misuse or security threats.

Basic automated filtering may reject suspected spam or malicious submissions. It is not used to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.

Why We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• Receive, review and respond to enquiries.
• Communicate with professional contacts.
• Confirm identity, authority or professional status where necessary.
• Administer the company and maintain appropriate records.
• Protect the website and systems from misuse or fraud.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect legal rights.

We normally rely upon legitimate interests, steps requested before entering into a contract, performance of a contract or compliance with legal obligations, depending upon the circumstances.

No Automatic Marketing Enrolment

Submitting an enquiry does not automatically add you to a general marketing list.

We may contact you about the enquiry or professional subject that you raised. We will not use your information for unrelated electronic marketing unless this is permitted by law.

The Privacy Policy checkbox on the contact form confirms that you have read this policy. It is not consent to receive unrelated marketing.

Who May Receive Information?

Where reasonably necessary, information may be shared with:

• Website hosting, email, IT and security providers.
• Legal, property, technical and other professional advisers.
• Relevant landowners, clients or professional counterparties.
• Public authorities, regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where required.
• Parties involved in a proposed company or asset transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

Processing Outside the UK

Some hosting, email, communications or cloud providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where UK data-protection transfer rules apply, we will use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism or safeguard.

A third-party communication service used by you may also process information under its own privacy terms.

How Long We Keep Information

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The retention period will depend upon the nature of the enquiry, whether a professional or contractual relationship develops, and applicable legal, accounting, security and record-keeping requirements.

Information may be retained for longer where reasonably necessary for a legal claim, investigation or regulatory requirement.

Protecting Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or misuse.

However, no website, email service or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Highly sensitive information should not be submitted through the website where a more secure method is appropriate.
