4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so under UK GDPR. The bases we rely on are:
We process server log data and aggregated analytics data on the basis of our legitimate interest in maintaining website security and understanding editorial performance. These interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
We process contact form data to respond to your enquiry, which constitutes steps taken at your request prior to entering a potential agreement.
Where we use non-essential cookies, we process the resulting data on the basis of your explicit consent, provided through the cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
We may retain certain data where required to comply with applicable law, including data protection and security regulations.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We may share data with the following categories of third parties only to the extent necessary for the functioning of this website:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers, who process data solely on our instruction and under data processing agreements consistent with UK GDPR.
- Analytics services, where you have consented to analytics cookies. Aggregated, anonymised data only.
- Regulatory or law enforcement bodies, where we are required to disclose data by applicable law.
Where data is transferred to third parties outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements for international transfers.

7. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond within one month of receiving a valid request.
You may ask us to correct inaccurate personal data we hold about you, or to complete incomplete data.
You may request the deletion of your personal data where there is no overriding reason for its continued processing.
You may object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis.
Where we process your data by automated means and on the basis of your consent or a contract, you may request the data in a portable, machine-readable format.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
