• Legal obligation: where required by a competent authority.

7. International transfers

Some of our technology providers (such as Google, for our analytics service) may be located outside the European Economic Area. In such cases, transfers are carried out under the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or other equivalent legal mechanisms that guarantee an adequate level of protection.

8. Data retention

We retain your data for as long as necessary to handle your inquiry or maintain the contractual relationship, and subsequently for the applicable statutory limitation periods (generally 4-5 years for tax or contractual liability purposes).

9. Information security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, unauthorised access, or alteration.
