We also use Google reCAPTCHA on our forms to help prevent spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA may collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and interactions with the form. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

3. How We Store and Protect Your Information

Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which uses secure servers and industry-standard safeguards.
We also take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, or unauthorised access.

Only authorised team members and service providers who need the information to perform their work have access to it.
