What we collect
Enquiries. When you use the contact form we collect what you enter: your name, email address, enquiry type, any event or project date, audience size or organisation, location and your message. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever your email contains.
How the website is used. If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics records how you use the website: the pages you visit, how long you stay, the type of device and browser you use, your approximate location and the website that sent you here. It also records when the contact form is sent and when an email or phone link is clicked. It does not tell us who you are.
Technical and security information. Like every website, ours receives your IP address and details of your browser with each request. Our security software uses this to detect and block attacks.
Please do not include health information or other sensitive details in an enquiry unless they are relevant to it.

To understand and improve the website, using Google Analytics. Analytics cookies are only set if you consent, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Before you choose, the Google Analytics script still loads in a restricted mode that sets no cookies, and Google receives your IP address and the address of the page with that request. We rely on our legitimate interest in measuring the website for that part.

How long we keep it
Enquiries are kept for as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry and any booking that follows, and are then deleted.
Google Analytics keeps event-level data for no more than 14 months, the longest its standard setting allows. After that, only aggregated totals remain.
