Information we collect

Information you provide directly: name, email address, company or project name, budget range, and the contents of any message you submit through our inquiry form or by email. Information collected automatically: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referring URLs, and approximate location derived from IP, collected through standard server logs and analytics tools. Information from third parties: publicly available professional information (for example, your company website or press coverage) used to evaluate and respond to your inquiry. We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal information, and we ask that you not submit them through this website.

02

How we use information

We use personal information to: respond to inquiries and evaluate prospective engagements; provide, administer, and improve our services; communicate about services, availability, and relevant updates where permitted; maintain the security and integrity of the website; comply with legal obligations; and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own direct marketing.

03

Legal bases

Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal information on the following bases: performance of a contract or steps prior to entering one (responding to your inquiry); legitimate interests (operating and securing the website, developing our business) balanced against your rights; consent, where required, which you may withdraw at any time; and compliance with legal obligations.

04

We share personal information only with: service providers who support our operations (hosting, email, analytics, scheduling) under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations; professional advisors (lawyers, accountants, insurers) where necessary; competent authorities where required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or property; and a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this Policy.

06

Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy: inquiry records for up to 24 months after last contact unless an engagement follows; engagement records for the duration of the relationship plus the period required by law, contract, or professional obligation; and server logs for up to 12 months. When retention ends, we delete or irreversibly de-identify the information.
