6. Third-Party Services

The Site loads resources from the following third-party CDN providers for the purpose of delivering fonts and libraries: Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com), jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net), Cloudflare CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com), and unpkg.com. These services may collect standard request log data (IP address, user agent) in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies if you have concerns about third-party data handling.

The contact page embeds a Google Maps iframe loaded from maps.google.com. Your interaction with this embed is subject to Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy). The iframe loads only when the contact page is accessed and does not place any cookies on your device without your consent.

7. International Transfers

Where third-party CDN providers process data in jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom, such processing is subject to the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by those providers or equivalent transfer mechanisms recognised under UK GDPR. We do not knowingly transfer your personal data to countries without an equivalent level of data protection.
