5. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we generally rely on one or more of the following: your consent; the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you; our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject.

We may share information with: service providers and contractors who perform functions on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, or communications tools) under appropriate confidentiality obligations; professional advisers such as auditors or legal counsel where necessary; regulators, law enforcement, or other parties where required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others; and any successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

7. Data Retention

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. Criteria used to determine retention periods include the duration of our relationship with you, legal or regulatory requirements, and the need to resolve disputes or enforce agreements.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we transfer personal information across borders, we will take steps intended to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the information, where such safeguards are required.
