What data we collect and why
Contact form submissions
When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, organisation, role, the nature of your enquiry, any message you include, and the IP address the submission was sent from. We use this information to respond to your enquiry and to protect the form against abuse. The lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in responding to business communications directed to us and in keeping the form secure.

Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to manage the enquiry and any resulting commercial relationship, and for up to two years thereafter, unless a longer retention period is required by law or agreed contractually.
