- Communicate with you throughout your project
- Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
- Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)
We only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so:
- Contract — processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (e.g. providing a quote)
- Legitimate interests — we have a legitimate interest in running and improving our business, provided this does not override your rights
- Legal obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with UK law
- Consent — where you have given us explicit consent (e.g. subscribing to updates). You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us
5. Cookies & Analytics
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. We use:
- Essential cookies — necessary for the website to function. These cannot be switched off
- Analytics cookies — we may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, session duration, traffic sources). This data is anonymised and aggregated. Google may process this data on servers outside the UK; Google LLC is certified under the UK–US Data Bridge
You can control or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.
6. Data Retention
We keep your personal data only as long as necessary:
- Enquiry and quote data — up to 3 years from last contact, in case you return with a follow-up project
- Project and contractual records — up to 7 years to comply with HMRC and legal requirements
- Analytics data — typically 26 months as set by Google Analytics defaults
After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
7. Sharing Your Data
We do not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. We may share your data with:
- Email and communication tools — service providers who help us manage enquiries (e.g. email hosting), bound by data processing agreements
- Google — for analytics purposes (see Cookies section above)
- Legal or regulatory bodies — if required to do so by law or a court order
8. International Transfers
Some of our third-party providers (such as Google) may process your data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK adequacy regulations or the UK–US Data Bridge, to protect your data to an equivalent standard as required under UK GDPR.
