The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b)), where applicable.

5. YouTube Videos

This website includes video content hosted by YouTube, a service provided by Google.

Videos are initially presented as still-image previews with a play button. When a visitor chooses to load a video, a connection to YouTube may be established.

Google may then receive technical information, including IP addresses, browser details and interactions with the video player. Cookies or similar technologies may also be used.

Some information may be processed outside the European Economic Area, subject to applicable data protection requirements.

Where consent is required, non-essential technologies will only be activated after valid consent has been obtained.

7. How Long Information Is Kept

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Contact form submissions and professional email correspondence are reviewed periodically. Information that is no longer needed is deleted.

Relevant correspondence may be retained for ongoing projects, future follow-up where there is a legitimate purpose, professional record-keeping or applicable legal obligations.

Contact form submissions stored in WordPress are subject to the same retention approach.

Technical server logs are retained according to the applicable STRATO hosting arrangements and their operational and security requirements.
