We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our forms against spam, automated submissions and misuse.
Google reCAPTCHA is a security service provided by Google. It may process technical information about your browser, device and network connection as well as information about your interaction with the website in order to determine whether a submission is likely to originate from a human user or an automated system.

When the font is loaded from an external font service, technical information such as your IP address, browser, network and device information, as well as information about the website and page being accessed, may be transmitted to the respective font provider.
This processing is necessary to display the website correctly and consistently.
9. Social media links
Our website contains links to our social media profiles, including LinkedIn and Instagram.
These are external links only. We do not currently embed social media feeds, posts or other social media content directly into our website.
Simply visiting our website does not transmit personal data to these social media providers through these links.
If you click on a social media link, you will leave our website and the privacy policy of the respective provider will apply.

Depending on the specific processing activity, personal data may be processed by service providers that support the operation of our website and business, including:

our business email service provider, where necessary to receive and respond to enquiries submitted through our website.
Where required by applicable law, we enter into appropriate data processing agreements with service providers acting on our behalf.
11. International data transfers
Some of the service providers we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
In particular, Squarespace may transfer and process personal data in the United States and other countries in which Squarespace or its service providers operate.
Where required under the GDPR, such transfers are based on appropriate safeguards, including adequacy decisions, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
12. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose of processing.
Where statutory retention obligations apply, we retain the relevant data for the legally prescribed period.
Once the relevant purpose has been fulfilled and no legal obligation or legitimate interest requires further storage, the data will be deleted or anonymised.
