2. Information you choose to provide
When you contact us, you may provide your name, organisation, email address and information in your message. Please do not send sensitive personal information, identification documents or investment instructions through the general enquiries channel.
3. How the enquiry form works
The current contact form prepares an email in your own email application. It does not submit a message to a website server and does not send the email automatically. If you choose to send the drafted email, your and our email providers will process the correspondence in the normal way.
4. Why we use information
We use business contact information for answering enquiries, managing professional correspondence and, where relevant, establishing or maintaining business relationships. Depending on the circumstances, processing is expected to rely on legitimate interests or steps requested before entering into a contract. Specific uses must be confirmed against actual operations.
5. Hosting and external images
The website hosting provider may process standard technical logs, including IP addresses and request information, for site delivery and security. The homepage currently references an externally hosted image from Unsplash; loading that image may result in technical information, such as the visitor's IP address, being received by that provider. Hosting and service-provider details should be inserted here before launch.
6. Sharing and international transfers
Information may be handled by professional advisers and essential IT or communications service providers where necessary and subject to appropriate safeguards. Cross-border transfer assessments depend on the chosen hosting and email providers and must be completed before publication.
7. How long we keep information
Business correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the original purpose and applicable legal or operational requirements. A specific retention schedule should be adopted before launch.
8. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability. You may also raise concerns with the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
