• Technical anti-spam and security data (for example Turnstile token and request metadata such as IP information)

Where analytics is enabled, we also collect limited website usage events: page views, which sections of the page are viewed, link and button clicks, and whether a form submission succeeded or failed. These events never include the content of the form, such as your name, email address or message.

3. Why we collect this data

• To respond to enquiries and discuss contract roles, projects and engagements
• To agree and deliver the work you engage us for
• To protect the site from spam and abuse

• Consent, where you voluntarily submit information through website forms
• Legal obligations, where record keeping or compliance is required

4. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site operation and security.

Our site uses Microsoft Application Insights for usage analytics when enabled in our deployment configuration. This can set analytics cookies or similar browser storage to help us understand site usage patterns.

We also use anti-spam tooling (Cloudflare Turnstile) on forms where enabled, which may process technical information to distinguish genuine visitors from bots.

These providers may include:

• Analytics providers (where enabled)

These providers process data on our behalf and only for these purposes.

6. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes above, including responding to enquiries, project follow-up, legal obligations, and record-keeping.

Anti-abuse rate-limit records are held in short-lived in-memory windows. Operational telemetry and email records are retained according to the settings of the services used.

7. Your UK GDPR rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request:

• Access to your personal data
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion of your data (in certain circumstances)
• Restriction of processing
