Personal data we collect
Contact form
When you use the contact form on this website, you may provide:
- your name;
- your email address;
- the content of your message.
This information is used to respond to your request, communicate with you and, where relevant, discuss potential services or projects.
The legal basis for this processing is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, where your message concerns a potential project or service, or our legitimate interest in responding to general enquiries.
Project inquiry form
For project enquiries, this website may direct you to a form provided through Google Forms.
Information submitted through that form may include contact details and information relating to your project, such as its scope, timeline, budget, references or other details you choose to provide.
Google may process technical and personal data when you use its services in accordance with its own privacy policies.
The information you submit is used to assess your enquiry, prepare a quote, communicate with you and, where applicable, take steps before entering into a contract.
Email communications
If you contact us directly by email, we will process your email address and any information you voluntarily include in your message for the purpose of responding to you and managing your enquiry or project.
Analytics and website statistics
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how users interact with the site.
Google Analytics may process information such as:
- browser and device information;
- approximate geographic location;
- pages visited;
- referral source;
- interactions with the website;
- technical identifiers and analytics cookies, where permitted.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, Google states that IP addresses are used for geolocation purposes and are discarded before further processing.
Where required by applicable law, Google Analytics is only activated after you have given consent through the cookie consent system.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie settings available on the website.
Jetpack
This website uses Jetpack, a service provided by Automattic, for website functionality and statistics.
Jetpack may process technical and usage information relating to visits to this website, such as IP address, browser information, referring pages and website interactions, depending on the Jetpack features enabled.
Where Jetpack features use non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, they are subject to your cookie preferences and consent where required.

YouTube videos and embedded content
This website may include videos embedded from YouTube, a service provided by Google.
When a YouTube video is embedded on a page, Google may receive technical information about the visitor and may use cookies or similar technologies depending on the configuration of the embedded player and the visitor’s consent preferences.
Where required by applicable law, YouTube content that uses non-essential tracking technologies is blocked until consent has been provided.
Where available, this website may use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embedding mode to reduce tracking and personalization associated with embedded videos.
Other embedded content from third-party websites may behave in the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly.

How long we retain your data
Personal information submitted through contact or project enquiry forms is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry, manage potential or ongoing business relationships and comply with applicable legal, tax or administrative obligations.
Where an enquiry does not result in a business relationship, information may be deleted when it is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Information relating to completed transactions or client relationships may be retained for longer where required by applicable legal, tax or accounting obligations.
Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings configured within the relevant analytics services.
