If you contact me by email, telephone or LinkedIn, I may collect your name, contact details, business information and anything else you choose to share.
When you visit this website, its hosting provider may automatically process technical information, including your IP address, browser and device information, and information about how the website is used.

Under UK data protection law, I process personal information where necessary for legitimate business interests, to take steps towards or fulfil a contract, or to comply with legal obligations.
Where consent is required for a particular activity, I will seek it separately.
5. Website hosting and analytics
This website is hosted using Lovable.
Lovable may process technical information and maintain operational and security logs as part of providing its hosting services.
Lovable also provides built-in website traffic statistics, which it describes as cookieless. These may include information about visits, pages viewed, traffic sources and device types.
The website’s fonts are served locally rather than being requested from Google Fonts.

I do not sell personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers supporting my business, including website hosting, email and other business systems, where necessary to provide those services.
I may also share information where required by law.
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where applicable, I will rely on appropriate data protection safeguards.

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including maintaining business relationships, fulfilling contractual responsibilities and meeting legal obligations.
Website hosting information is retained in accordance with the hosting provider’s applicable operational and security arrangements.
8. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to access, correct or erase your personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, and request the transfer of information where applicable.
