  • Usage data, including pages visited and actions taken.
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 5).

  • Consent – where you’ve given clear permission for us to process your data (e.g., subscribing to a newsletter).
  • Contract – processing necessary for a contract or to take steps at your request.
  • Legal obligation – processing necessary to comply with the law.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party services accessed via the Websites.

We ensure all third-party providers process data in compliance with UK GDPR.

  • Access your personal data.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data.
