3. Our lawful basis for using personal information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:
- it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to perform a contract with you;
- it is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating our business, communicating with prospective and existing clients, and maintaining the security and effectiveness of our website; or
- we need to comply with a legal obligation.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider those interests against your rights and interests.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your device by a website.
This website may use cookies that are strictly necessary for its operation, security or functionality. These cookies do not require your consent.
We do not use advertising, behavioural tracking or other non-essential cookies on this website.
If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent where required before using them.

We do not provide personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
6. International data transfers
Some of the service providers we use, including providers of cloud and online services, may process information outside the UK.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards required by UK data protection law are in place.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
No internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we aim to use appropriate measures for the nature of the information we handle.
8. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
The period will depend on the nature of the information and why we hold it. For example, we may retain correspondence and business records where necessary to maintain our relationship with a client, respond to an enquiry, meet legal obligations or resolve a dispute.
Technical and security information is retained only for as long as it is reasonably required for operating and protecting our systems.
