We use two service providers to run our website and handle messages sent through our contact form. Each acts as our processor under a data processing agreement and may only use your data on our instructions.
Cloudflare, Inc. protects our website and runs the service that receives contact form submissions. It processes technical data such as your IP address and request details, and handles the content of a submission only while it passes to us. Cloudflare operates a global network, so your request may be handled in data centres outside the UK.

Both providers are based in the United States. Where your data is transferred there, it is protected by the provider’s certification under the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the standard contractual clauses with the ICO’s UK Addendum, as set out in its data processing agreement.
