Automatically collected information: When you visit our site, certain information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, approximate location, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site, through standard analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)
We rely on the following legal bases to process your information: legitimate interests (site analytics, security, content improvement), consent (non-essential cookies and personalized advertising), and contractual necessity (responding to a query you’ve submitted).
Third-Party Advertising and Analytics
This site may use third-party services such as Google AdSense and Google Analytics, which may use cookies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites.

We retain analytics data only as long as necessary to understand site performance, typically no longer than 26 months. Contact form submissions are kept only as long as needed to resolve your query.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, and lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe we’ve mishandled your information. Contact us via our Contact page to exercise these rights; we aim to respond within one month.
