Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable under data protection legislation (including GDPR where relevant to EU/EEA data subjects), we process personal data on the following legal bases: (a) your consent, where explicitly provided; (b) the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps at your request; (c) our legitimate interests in operating a professional consulting practice; and (d) compliance with a legal obligation.
Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., cloud infrastructure, video conferencing) solely to facilitate service delivery, under appropriate data processing agreements.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Notice, or as required by applicable law.

Engagement-related data is retained for the duration of the engagement plus 5 years, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
