2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Directly

We collect only the personal information you voluntarily provide when you contact us. This may include:

• Identity Data: Your name
• Contact Data: Your email address
• Communication Data: The content of your message and any information included in your email signature

This information is provided when you use the "Contact" button, email us directly, or interact with us via linked social media platforms (such as LinkedIn). The Site has no forms and does not collect information through the page itself.

B. Technical Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, our hosting provider's servers automatically record limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages requested. This information is used solely to keep the Site secure, stable, and working properly, and is not used to identify you or to build a profile of you.

3. Cookies

Cookies Used on This Site: The Site does not set any cookies and does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking tools. Fonts and images are served from our own website, so viewing the Site does not send your data to third-party services.

Third-Party Links: The Site includes buttons linking to external platforms, specifically LinkedIn. When you click these links, you leave our Site. These third parties may collect data about you in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

Managing Cookies: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. If we ever introduce cookies on the Site, we will update this Policy first.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data only for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Responding to your enquiries and correspondence
• Discussing potential engagements, audits, speaking requests, or advisory services
• Operating, maintaining, and securing the Site

Our lawful bases include Legitimate Interests, Contract, and Legal Obligation.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share personal data only where necessary with:

• Service providers supporting our IT, email, and hosting infrastructure
• Professional advisers, including legal, accounting, and banking advisers
• Public authorities, where required by law or to protect our legal rights

All such parties are required to process data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

6. International Transfers

Your personal data is primarily processed in the United Kingdom. Where personal data is processed outside the UK (for example, by cloud-based service providers), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA).

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, tax, and accounting requirements.

8. Your Legal Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have several rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access: To request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Right to rectification: To request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure: To request deletion of your personal data
• Right to object: To object to processing of your personal data
