Data Transfers Outside the UK or EEA
In some cases, our service providers may store or access data from locations outside the UK or European Economic Area. When this occurs, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the use of standard contractual clauses or reliance on an adequacy decision, so that your personal data remains protected to standards equivalent to those in the UK and EU.

Customer and booking records are retained for the duration of our relationship with you and for a period afterwards to enable us to respond to queries, manage any disputes, and comply with legal and accounting requirements.
Financial and invoicing records are retained for the period required under applicable tax and accounting laws.
Enquiry records for prospective customers who do not proceed with a booking are typically retained for a limited period to allow us to respond to follow-up questions and manage our records.
When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
