What we collect and why
Enquiry form and direct email. When you contact us through the enquiry form or by email, weprocess your name, email address, organisation and the content of your message. Purpose: replying to yourenquiry and any resulting engagement. Legal basis: legitimate interests (responding to prospectiveclients) and, where an engagement follows, contract. Retention: for the length of the conversation plustwenty-four months, after which enquiry correspondence is deleted unless an engagement follows.
Newsletter. The Witting Note is sent to subscribers who have given consent (legal basis:consent). We store your first name and email address for the sole purpose of sending the monthly letter.Every issue contains a one-click unsubscribe; unsubscribed addresses are deleted within thirty days.Subscriber statistics are counted in aggregate — we track whether an issue was opened, not your readinghabits.
Engagement records. For clients, documents and records created during an engagement are heldunder the written terms of that engagement, including its confidentiality and retention provisions.Client identities are never disclosed in marketing without written permission; case studies on this siteare anonymised by design.
Technical logs. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, request time,user agent) for security and abuse prevention, for up to thirty days. We do not run advertising networksor social media pixels on this site.

If you are unhappy with our handling of your data, you may complain to the Information Commissioner'sOffice (ico.org.uk). We would rather hear about it first — the complaint inbox is read by the person whowrites the replies.
Security
Data is stored on UK/EU-hosted infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. Access is limitedto the principal of the practice. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach ever affects your rights, wewill tell you what happened, what it means and what we are doing — in that order, and without delay.
