2. Applicable Law

This Privacy Policy is written in compliance with the following legislation:

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom.

3. What Personal Data We Collect

3.1 Data you provide to us

This website does not currently include any forms, account registration, or other mechanism by which you are asked to provide personal data directly to us.

3.2 Data collected automatically (analytics)

When you visit this website, Wix (our website platform provider) automatically collects certain technical and usage data as part of its standard website analytics functionality. This may include:

your IP address (which may be used to determine your approximate geographic location);
the type of browser and device you are using;
the pages of this website you visit and the time spent on each;
the website or source that referred you to this site;
the date and time of your visit.

This data is collected and processed by Wix on our behalf. We do not collect any additional analytics data beyond what Wix provides by default.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. The analytics data described above is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR), specifically our interest in understanding how our website is used so that we can maintain and improve it.

We have considered whether this interest is overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, and we do not believe it is, given the limited and technical nature of the data collected.

5. Cookies

Wix uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit this website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. These may be used for purposes including analytics, session management, and website functionality.
