We may share relevant information with service providers who support our operations, such as website hosting, enquiry-form, email, payment and professional service providers, where necessary and lawful.

We may also disclose information where required by law.

We do not authorise third parties to use client information for unrelated purposes merely because they provide a service to us.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including applicable contractual, accounting, regulatory and legal requirements.

Retention periods may vary according to the nature of the information and our obligations.

Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, you may have rights to request access to your information, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, or receive information in a portable format.

You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

You may also have the right to complain to the relevant data protection authority.
