Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area (EEA), or another jurisdiction with similar data protection laws, we process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so.

These legal bases include:

  • Legal obligation – where processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws, including tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements.

We use the information you provide through our contact form solely to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, discuss or provide our consulting services. We do not use your personal information for unsolicited marketing.
