Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to recognise your browser, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our pages. You can usually configure your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some parts of the website may not function properly without them.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on bases such as your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, and the necessity of processing to respond to your requests or fulfil contractual obligations.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
