Website usage data

We may collect limited technical and usage data, such as IP address (often truncated by analytics tools), device/browser type, pages visited, approximate location, and referral source.

Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar tools to make the site work properly, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. See “Cookies & analytics” below.

We rely on the following lawful bases where applicable:

• Contract – to take steps at your request before entering into a booking agreement and to fulfil that agreement
• Legitimate interests – to operate, secure, and improve the website and manage communications
• Consent – where required (e.g., non-essential cookies or marketing, if you opt in)

5) Who we share data with

We only share personal data when needed to run the website and provide services. This may include:

• Email / form tools (to receive and respond to enquiries)
• Analytics provider (e.g., Google Analytics)
• Payment/invoicing tools (if used to issue invoices or take payments)

Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we use appropriate safeguards (such as UK-approved transfer mechanisms) where required.

6) Third-party embeds & links (Mixcloud, YouTube, Spotify)

This site may embed or link to content from third-party platforms such as Mixcloud, YouTube, and Spotify. If you interact with an embed (e.g., press play), those platforms may collect data in line with their own privacy policies, including via cookies or similar technologies.

Tip: If you prefer, you can view content directly on the relevant platform instead of using embedded players.

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above:

• Enquiries – typically kept for up to 12 months after last contact
