4. How we share data
- Service providers and subprocessors — hosting, database, email, analytics, and support tools that help us run the service.

5. International transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside your country of residence, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.
6. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, to comply with our legal obligations, or to resolve disputes. Enquiry data is retained for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, port, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. You can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below; we will respond within the period required by applicable law (typically one month under the UK/EU GDPR).
8. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit, access controls, and least-privilege database policies — to protect personal data.
9. Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the site and, where applicable, analytics cookies to understand usage. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
