Depending on how you interact with this site, I may collect:

  • Contact form / enquiry details: name, email address, phone number (if provided), organisation/venue name, role, event dates, guest numbers, and any details you share about your enquiry

  • Booking information: name, email, and payment details when you book an event through Squarespace (payment is processed securely by Squarespace/Stripe — I do not store your card details)

  • Newsletter or mailing list details: name and email address, if you choose to sign up

  • Website usage data: collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools (see Cookies section below)

How I use your information

I use your information to:

I do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

Legal basis for processing

Under UK GDPR, I process your data on the following bases:

  • Contract: to fulfil a booking or provide a service you've requested

Who I share your information with

Some information may be shared with third-party services that help run this website and business, including:

These provider(s) only process data as needed to deliver their service and are bound by their own privacy and data protection obligations.

International bookings

If you make an enquiry or booking from outside the UK, your information may be processed or stored in a country outside the UK/EEA by the third-party providers listed above. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK GDPR.

Data retention

I keep personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for — for example, enquiry and booking details, for accounting and business record purposes, unless you ask me to delete them (subject to any legal requirement to retain them).
