- Information you include in correspondence or forms.

- Legal obligation: records needed to meet applicable accounting or other legal requirements.
- Consent: optional communications and technologies where consent is required.
[Confirm these purposes and bases against the site's actual services, including the basis used for analytics. Remove any that do not apply.]

5. Cookies and website statistics
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to maintain sign-in sessions, remember preferences, protect the website and measure usage.
[Insert the verified cookies and similar technologies used, their providers, purposes and durations. Describe the actual consent or opt-out controls, including how choices can be changed.]

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing your subscription, dealing with enquiries and meeting legal obligations.
[Insert the actual periods or clear retention criteria for account records, transactions, correspondence, search/access logs and analytics. Explain any records retained after account closure.]

8. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access your personal information, correct it, request deletion, restrict its use or receive a portable copy.
You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can object to direct marketing at any time.
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. To make a request, contact us using the details above.
Some account and subscription information is necessary to provide the service. Without it, we may be unable to create an account or provide subscription access.
You may complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office:
