• drawings, photographs and other project documents;
• contractual, invoicing and payment records;
• information concerning consultants, contractors and other project participants; and
• limited technical information generated when you visit this website, such as IP address, browser information and security logs.

Information may be obtained directly from you, from another person involved in a project, or from relevant public sources such as planning registers and land or property records.

If you provide health or accessibility information for the purposes of a project, it will be used only where necessary and where an appropriate legal basis applies.

Why information is used

Personal information might be used for:

• Prepare and submit planning or other statutory applications;
• Manage contracts, invoices, and payments;
• Maintain professional, insurance, and accounting records;
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations; and
• Maintain the security and operation of the website and business systems.

The applicable lawful bases are normally performance of a contract, steps requested before entering into a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and Anthemion Studio’s legitimate interests in operating and protecting the practice and providing professional services.

Anthemion Studio does not sell personal information or use it for third-party advertising.

Sharing information

Where reasonably necessary, information may be shared with:

• Architects, engineers, and other project consultants;

Enquiries that do not result in an appointment will normally be retained for no longer than 12 months after the last substantive contact.

Client and project records will normally be retained for at least six years after completion of the relevant services.

Financial and taxation records will be retained for the period required by HM Revenue & Customs.

Information will be securely deleted or anonymised when there is no longer a lawful or professional reason to retain it.
