3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, our legal basis for collecting and using personal information depends on the personal data concerned and the context:

• Consent: Where you have given explicit consent (e.g., subscribing to newsletter, accepting non-essential cookies).
• Contractual Necessity: Where processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or take pre-contractual steps at your request (e.g., consultation, project proposals).
• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is in our legitimate business interests and not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Legal Obligation: Where we need to process data to satisfy legal requirements.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

• Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors, hosting providers, analytics platforms, and payment processors who assist in operating our services under strict confidentiality obligations.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. For detailed information on the cookies we use and your choices, please review our Cookie Policy.

6. Data Security

We implement robust technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption, firewall protection, strict access controls, secure cloud storage, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
