4. Purposes of Processing and Lawful Bases

We only process personal data where a lawful basis under Article 6 of UK GDPR applies. The table below explains why we process personal data and the lawful bases relied upon:

    Lawful basis: Legitimate interests and, where required by law, consent for non-essential cookies

6. International Transfers

We store personal data primarily within the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or the European Economic Area (for example, through the use of third-party analytics or cloud service providers), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under UK GDPR.

Indicative retention criteria include:
