1. Personal Data We Collect
We collect personal data in the following ways:
Via our website contact form: Name, email address, and (optionally) telephone number and a written message. This data is collected when you submit an enquiry.
During engagement delivery: In the course of carrying out advisory work, we may collect and handle business and personal data provided to us by you or your organisation — including financial information, organisational charts, and information about third parties relevant to the engagement scope. This data is governed by the engagement agreement.
Via cookies and analytics: Our website may collect technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) through cookies and analytics tools. Please see our Cookie Policy for details.
The legal bases for processing are: (a) consent, where you have submitted a form or accepted cookies; (b) legitimate interest, for analytics and service improvement; and (c) performance of a contract, for data collected and used in the course of an engagement.
2. How We Use Your Data
