If you interact with us through a third-party social platform, that platform may collect information according to its own privacy practices.

If advertising or additional tracking technologies are introduced, appropriate privacy disclosures and consent controls will be implemented where required.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legitimate business, security, recordkeeping, and legal requirements.
Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information and the service involved.
For example, an email enquiry may be retained for as long as necessary to respond and maintain relevant records, while newsletter information may remain stored until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to required suppression records.

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss.
However, no website, email service, or internet transmission method can guarantee complete security.

As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside the country where you live.
Where applicable law requires additional safeguards for international transfers, appropriate measures should be used by the relevant service providers.

One important launch point: if you use Google Analytics, Ezoic/AdSense, MailerLite/ConvertKit, Cloudflare, or another specific provider, tell me which ones you plan to use. I can then make this Privacy Policy match your actual setup rather than leaving those sections generic. For UK/EU visitors especially, non-essential cookies generally require appropriate notice and consent controls. ICO
