4. Who we share your data with

We do not sell personal data. We share personal data with the following categories of third party, only where necessary:

– Service providers who support our website and business operations, for example our hosting provider, Jotform (careers CV uploads), our calendar/scheduling provider, our email provider, and our analytics provider.
– Professional advisers, such as our lawyers, accountants or auditors, where necessary.
– Regulators, law enforcement or other authorities, where we are required to do so by law.

Where we use a third-party processor, we have an agreement in place requiring them to protect your data to a standard consistent with UK GDPR.

5. International transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or a finding of adequacy by the UK government, before any transfer takes place.

6. How long we keep your data

– Contact form enquiries: retained for [period, e.g. 24 months] from your last contact with us, unless a longer period is needed to resolve a query or dispute.
– Job applications: retained for [period, e.g. 12 months] from the date of your application, unless you ask us to delete it sooner or you are hired, in which case your data moves into our HR records.
– Analytics data: retained for [period per analytics provider’s default, e.g. 14–26 months].

We review the data we hold periodically and delete or anonymise it once it is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected for.
