What information we collect

When you use our contact form or get in touch with us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and any information you choose to share in your message. We do not collect sensitive personal data unless you voluntarily provide it.

How we use your information

We use your information to respond to your enquiry, provide the support or services you have requested, and keep records of our communications. We will not use your data for marketing without your explicit consent, and we will never sell your personal data to third parties.

Our lawful basis for processing

We process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interests (responding to your enquiry) and, where relevant, to fulfil a contract or take steps at your request before entering into one. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

How long we keep your data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Enquiry data is typically held for up to two years unless you are an active participant in our programme.
