This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the circumstances under which we disclose it, and the choices you have regarding that information.

 

2. Information We Collect. We collect (a) information that you voluntarily provide to us—such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, and the contents of any message you send through our contact form or by e-mail—and (b) certain technical information that is automatically transmitted by your browser or device, including your IP address, browser type, referring pages, the pages you view, and the date and time of each visit. Automatic data are gathered through standard cookies and similar technologies that help us maintain and improve the Site.

 

3. How We Use the Information. We use personal information (i) to respond to your inquiries, evaluate potential engagements, and manage client relationships; (ii) to operate, secure, and improve the Site; (iii) to comply with applicable laws, court orders, and regulatory obligations; and (iv) for other legitimate business purposes that are compatible with the context in which the data were collected.

 

4. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK Visitors). Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases: (a) your consent; (b) our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site and communicating with potential or existing clients; and (c) compliance with a legal obligation.

 

5. Disclosure of Information. We do not sell or rent your personal information. We disclose it only to (a) third-party service providers who host or support our Site or e-mail infrastructure and who are bound by confidentiality obligations; (b) governmental authorities or courts when we believe disclosure is required by law; and (c) professional advisers (such as lawyers or accountants) to protect or defend our rights.

 

6. Cookies and Analytics. Essential cookies are used to deliver core Site functionality. Analytics cookies, where enabled, provide aggregated statistics that help us understand how visitors use the Site. Most browsers allow you to disable cookies; doing so may affect Site performance.

 

7. Data Retention. We retain contact-form submissions and related correspondence for the period reasonably necessary to address the underlying inquiry and for up to two years thereafter, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction on the processing of your personal information, as well as the right to object to certain processing activities and to withdraw consent at any time.

9. Security. We employ commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as HTTPS encryption and restricted server access—to protect personal information. However, no Internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure.

 

10. International Transfers. The Site is controlled from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed within the United States and other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.
