This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you visit our website or contact us.

Who we are

We may collect personal information that you provide to us when you contact us through our website, by email or by telephone. This may include your:

any information you choose to provide in your enquiry.

Our website may also collect limited technical information when you visit it, such as your IP address, browser and device information. This information may be collected automatically by WordPress, our website hosting provider, security services or other technologies necessary for the operation of the website.

How we use your information

We use personal information where necessary to:
respond to enquiries;

discuss, arrange and provide our architectural services;
administer, maintain and protect our website;
maintain appropriate business records; and
comply with our legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

We process personal information only where we have a lawful basis to do so under applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, this may be because processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, to perform a contract, to comply with a legal obligation, because we have a legitimate business interest in doing so, or because you have given your consent.

Contact form

When you submit an enquiry through our website contact form, the information you provide is used to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, to discuss our services with you.
We do not use information submitted through our contact form for unrelated marketing purposes.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function correctly.
WordPress and services used to host, secure or operate the website may also use cookies or similar technologies.
If we use non-essential cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, we will request consent where required by law. Further information about the cookies used by the website can be provided through our cookie settings or cookie notice.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate our business and website, including our website hosting, IT and professional service providers.
Where appropriate in connection with an architectural project, information may also be shared with other members of a project team, such as consultants and contractors, or with relevant authorities.
We may also disclose personal information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet any applicable legal, contractual, insurance or professional record-keeping requirements.
Enquiries that do not result in an appointment will not be retained for longer than reasonably necessary.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including rights to request access to or correction of your information and, in certain circumstances, to request deletion or restriction of processing, object to processing, or request transfer of your information.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [contact email address].
You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.

Third-party websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, and we recommend reviewing their privacy information separately.
