We believe privacy is the cornerstone of freedom and clarity of mind.
Protecting personal data is not only a legal obligation — it is a moral commitment to human dignity, autonomy, and trust. In an age where technology has become increasingly thirsty for data, the IMCE takes a different path:

• We collect as little data as possible.
• We do not sell, trade, or share your data.
• We do not use advertising, tracking, or behavioural profiling.
• We treat your information with respect, you are not a product.

We only collect information essential for communication, safety, and service improvement.

A. Information you provide
• When you contact us by email or form, we receive your name, email address, and message.
• When you subscribe to updates or newsletters, we collect your name and email address to send those communications.

B. Information collected automatically
• Browser type and device information
• Pages viewed and time spent on site
• Approximate region (non-identifiable)

We use privacy-focused analytics that do not use cookies, tracking, or personal identifiers.

We use your information to:
• Respond to your enquiries and messages.
• Send you updates or newsletters if you have opted in.
• Improve the accessibility and performance of our Website.
• Maintain security and prevent misuse.

We never use your data for marketing, behavioural targeting, or automated decision-making.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil its purpose:

• Enquiry emails: deleted within 12 months.
• Mailing list data: kept until you unsubscribe.
• Analytics data: stored only in anonymised, aggregate form.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data. Limited data may be shared with trusted service providers who help us operate the Website (e.g. hosting, analytics, or email delivery). These providers act under our instructions and comply with UK GDPR. We do not transfer personal data outside the UK unless equivalent safeguards are in place.

Our Website aims to operate without unnecessary cookies.
If any are required (for basic functionality), you will be informed and given control over their use.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

You have the right to:
• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion.
• Object to or restrict processing.
• Withdraw consent at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
