We consider whether these interests are proportionate and whether they affect your rights and freedoms.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses necessary cookies and similar technologies that allow Squarespace to securely provide and operate the website.

Necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are strictly required for functions such as security, network management and remembering privacy preferences.

Optional analytics and performance cookies are restricted unless you accept them through the cookie banner.

You can use the cookie banner to:

  • Accept optional cookies

  • Decline optional cookies

  • Manage or change your preferences

You may also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how parts of the website operate.

Third-party services or embedded content may use their own cookies. Where such services are introduced, this policy and the website’s cookie information will be updated as appropriate.

6. Sharing personal information

We do not sell or rent personal information.

Personal information may be processed or disclosed to the following categories of recipient where necessary:

  • Squarespace, as the website hosting and analytics provider

  • Email, domain and technology service providers

  • Professional advisers, including legal or technical advisers

  • Public authorities, regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where disclosure is legally required

  • A purchaser or successor if the business or relevant assets are transferred, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards

These providers may process information to deliver their services, maintain security and comply with applicable legal obligations.

7. International processing

Some technology providers may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we expect the relevant provider to use a lawful transfer mechanism, such as:

  • A UK adequacy regulation

  • Appropriate contractual safeguards

  • Another transfer mechanism permitted under UK data protection law

Further information about a provider’s international-processing arrangements is normally available in that provider’s privacy documentation.

8. How long information is retained

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Unless a longer period is required for legal, contractual, security or dispute-resolution purposes:

  • General email enquiries will normally be retained for up to 24 months after the matter is concluded.

  • Cookie preferences will be retained for the period necessary to remember and apply your choices.

  • Technical and security information will be retained according to operational requirements and the retention practices of the relevant service provider.

  • Records needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims may be retained for the applicable limitation period.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of where reasonably practicable.

9. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information

  • Request deletion of your information
