04. Contact Forms & Enquiries

If you submit an enquiry through a form on our website, the information you provide is used to respond to your request and, where relevant, to discuss a potential project or service.

Please do not submit confidential information that is not necessary for your enquiry. If you need to share sensitive project information, we recommend discussing the appropriate method of transfer with us first.

Information submitted through a website form may be processed by third-party technical providers used to operate, secure or deliver the form and website.

05. Cookies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functionality, remember preferences, improve performance and understand how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are small files stored on your device by your web browser. Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function correctly, while others may be used for analytics or optional functionality.

You can control or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or presentation of some parts of the website.

06. Analytics & Website Performance

We may use analytics and website-performance tools to understand how visitors use the website, identify technical issues and improve the overall experience.

These services may process technical information such as browser and device information, approximate geographic information, pages viewed, traffic sources and interaction information.

Where third-party analytics services are used, their processing of information is also subject to their respective privacy policies and terms.

07. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information submitted through this website as a standalone commercial product.

Information may be shared with service providers where this is reasonably necessary to operate our website or provide services. Depending on the website configuration and the particular interaction, these providers may include:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers
• Website security and spam-prevention providers
• Form and email delivery providers
• Analytics and website-performance providers
• Other technical providers necessary to operate the website

We may also disclose information where required by applicable law, legal process, or a legitimate request from a competent authority.

08. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining client or business records, resolving disputes, protecting our services and meeting legal or accounting requirements.

The appropriate retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the nature of the relationship or enquiry.

09. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information submitted through the website against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore consider the sensitivity of information before submitting it through any online communication channel.
