Who we share it with
We only share your information with trusted providers who help us run our business, such as:

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we make sure suitable safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that don't go ahead: up to 12 months, then deleted
- Customer records: for as long as you're a customer, then 6 years for tax and legal reasons
- Website content you send us: for as long as we host your site, and deleted within 90 days after we stop
