4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data only where a lawful basis applies. Depending on the context, this may include:
- Consent: where you have given permission for a specific purpose, such as receiving marketing communications or cookie use where required.
- Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you or your organization.
- Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with applicable laws, accounting rules, or regulatory duties.
- Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as improving services, preventing fraud, or managing B2B marketing relationships, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we take steps to ensure that the processing is proportionate and limited to what is necessary.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We may share personal data with third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

- business partners, clients, or referral partners involved in a referral campaign or service delivery;
- professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors, accountants, and insurers;
- public authorities, regulators, or law enforcement where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect our legal rights.
We require third parties that process personal data on our behalf to implement appropriate confidentiality and security measures and to use the data only for authorized purposes.
6. Data Transfer to Third Countries
Some of our service providers or business partners may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, personal data may be transferred to countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as within the EEA.
Where such transfers occur, we take appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law. These safeguards may include:
- standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or another competent authority;
- an adequacy decision for the destination country;
- additional technical and organizational measures where necessary.
You may contact us using the details below for more information about any relevant transfer safeguards.
7. Storage Duration
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.
- Contractual and business records: retained for the duration of the relationship and for applicable statutory limitation periods.
- Marketing data: retained until you withdraw consent, object to processing, or the data is no longer needed for the relevant purpose.
- Support and correspondence data: retained for a reasonable period to handle enquiries and maintain records.
- Legal and compliance data: retained for the period required by law or necessary for legal claims.
When data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of it in accordance with our internal retention procedures.

9. Withdrawal of Consent
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
You may withdraw consent by using any unsubscribe mechanism provided in our communications or by contacting us directly at [email protected].
If you withdraw consent, we may still process your personal data where another lawful basis applies.
10. Right to Complain
If you believe that our processing of your personal data does not comply with applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Without limiting this right, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concern directly.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures may include, where appropriate:
- access controls and authentication measures;
- encryption and secure transmission protocols;
- regular backups and system monitoring;
- staff confidentiality obligations and training;
- vendor due diligence and contractual safeguards;
