3. Use of Information
- Purpose: The collected data is used to deliver our consulting services, process payments, communicate with clients, and improve our services.
- Legal Basis: Privacy legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), allows us to process personal data if we have a legal ground to do so. In addition, this legislation requires us to tell you what this ground is. We only process your personal data based on one of the following grounds:
- Performance of a contract: when we need to process your personal data to fulfil our obligations under a contract;
- Performance of a contract: when we need to process your personal data to fulfil our obligations under a contract;
- Legal obligation: when we need to process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation, such as keeping records for tax purposes or providing information to a government or law enforcement agency;

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
- Third Parties: We will not share your information with others without your consent, unless this is necessary in the context of performing the agreement you, or your organisation, have entered with us, or unless it is a legal obligation.
- Reasons for Sharing: This sharing follows legal obligations, to provide our services, or to protect our rights.
- We may need to transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to fulfill various business purposes, including but not limited to providing services, conducting research, or collaborating with global partners. We recognize the importance of ensuring the continued protection of personal data when it leaves the EEA and are committed to doing so in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
To meet our data protection obligations when transferring data outside the EEA, we employ various mechanisms designed to guarantee an adequate level of protection. These mechanisms include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): In situations where we engage with third parties or service providers located in countries without an adequacy decision from the European Commission, we may enter into Standard Contractual Clauses as a legally binding agreement to ensure that personal data is treated with the same level of protection as within the EEA.
- Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs): For intra-group data transfers, we have implemented Binding Corporate Rules as an additional safeguard. These rules define our global data protection standards and practices, ensuring consistency and protection across our international operations.
- Adequacy Decisions: Where applicable, we will rely on adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission that recognize the data protection standards of certain countries as equivalent to those of the EEA. In such cases, we will transfer data in accordance with these decisions.
- Consent: When necessary, we will seek explicit consent from data subjects for cross-border data transfers, ensuring they are informed about the potential risks involved.
5. Data Security
- Security Measures: We implement robust security measures like encryption and access controls to protect your data.
- Data Breach Procedures: In the event of a data breach, we have procedures in place to mitigate risks and will notify affected individuals as required by law.
