Who we share it with
We use a small number of trusted service providers. They process personal information only on our instructions and must keep it secure.
| Provider | What they do for us |
|---|---|
| Webflow, Inc. | Hosts our website and receives website form submissions |
| Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.) | Stores our mailing list and sends our emails |
We may also share information where the law requires it, or with professional advisers such as our accountants and insurers.
International transfers. Webflow and Mailchimp are based in the United States, so your information may be processed there. Where that happens, we rely on the safeguards UK data protection law allows, such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long we keep it
- Mailing list: until you unsubscribe. After that we keep only your email address on a suppression list, so we don't contact you again by mistake.
- Enquiries: 2 years from our last contact, unless the enquiry becomes an instruction.
- Website technical data: as long as our hosting provider needs it to run the site securely.
