What we process
We may process information you choose to provide, such as your name, contact details, professional information and message. Limited technical data, including IP address, device and browser information and server logs, may also be processed to deliver and secure the website.
Why we process it
We use personal data to respond to enquiries, discuss projects or careers, manage professional relationships, operate and protect the website and meet legal obligations. Depending on the context, the legal basis may be steps before a contract, performance of a contract, our legitimate interests, your consent or a legal obligation.
Sharing and transfers
Personal data is shared only with Specter entities and trusted service providers where this is necessary. We require appropriate confidentiality and security. If data is processed outside the European Economic Area, we use the safeguards required by applicable data protection law.
Retention and security
We retain personal data only for as long as it is needed for the relevant purpose and our legal obligations. We use proportionate organisational and technical measures to protect it.

Cookies on this website
We do not use advertising or profiling cookies. We store your cookie choice in your browser as 'specter-analytics-consent' (local storage, retained until you clear your browser data) so we can remember it. If you consent to analytics, Google Analytics 4 sets two first-party cookies: '_ga' distinguishes one browser from another, while '_ga_<container-id>' maintains the session state for this website. Each can remain for up to 2 years and may be renewed when you revisit the site. GA4 processes pseudonymous usage data such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information. IP addresses are not logged or stored by GA4, and Google Signals and advertising personalisation are disabled. Analytics does not load before you consent. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through 'Cookie settings' in the footer.
