We will never sell your personal data to third parties.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases under UK GDPR: Contract — where processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into one; Legitimate Interests — where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests (such as responding to enquiries and improving our services), provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; Legal Obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with a legal obligation; Consent — where you have given us clear consent to process your data for a specific purpose (e.g. marketing communications).

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services (such as cloud hosting providers and email platforms), under strict data processing agreements. We may also disclose data where required by law, court order, or regulatory authority. All third parties are required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection law.

7. International Transfers

Where we transfer personal data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions. We will not transfer your data to countries that do not provide an adequate level of data protection without your explicit consent or without appropriate contractual protections.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Enquiry data is typically retained for up to 24 months. Data relating to active client engagements is retained for the duration of the contract and for up to 6 years thereafter in accordance with UK legal requirements. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
