Information we collect
We keep the data we collect to a minimum. Depending on how you use the Site, this may include the following.

This may include your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time of access, and the pages you view. This data is used to keep the Site secure and running, and is not used to personally identify you.

We do not run advertising networks on this Site, and we do not sell your personal data to anyone.

How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Enquiry and project correspondence is generally kept for up to [24 months] after our last contact, unless a longer period is needed to meet a legal or contractual obligation. Aggregated analytics data is retained according to the settings of our analytics provider. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
International data transfers
We are based in the United Kingdom and serve clients worldwide. Some of the service providers we use, such as Google Analytics, may process data outside the UK or the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we rely on safeguards recognised under UK and EU data protection law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data remains protected.
