Our Site is hosted on Squarespace. Squarespace collects data necessary to provide hosting services, including server logs and form submission data. For details, see Squarespace's Privacy Policy at squarespace.com/privacy.
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 to analyze Site traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics collects data via cookies and assigns an anonymous identifier to your browser session.

Data is retained in Google Analytics for 14 months. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
HubSpot
We use HubSpot as our customer relationship management (CRM) platform. HubSpot may place a tracking cookie on your browser when you visit the Site. If you have previously submitted a form or interacted with our emails, HubSpot may associate your Site visit with your contact record. We use this information to manage business relationships and follow up on inquiries.
If you receive email communications from HMDC, those emails will include an unsubscribe link. For more information, see HubSpot's Privacy Policy.
We use Apollo.io's visitor identification technology to identify the company or organization associated with visits to our Site, based on IP address matching against Apollo's database. This may identify your employer or organization even if you do not submit a form. We use this information for business development purposes, specifically to understand which organizations are interested in our services.
Apollo.io operates as a B2B data platform. Individual personal data is handled in accordance with Apollo's privacy practices.
