Some cookies may be strictly necessary for the website to function and may not require consent. Other technologies, including analytics and advertising technologies such as Meta Pixel, will only be activated where required consent has been obtained.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable data-protection legislation and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
8. How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or where retention is required by law.
The retention period may vary depending on whether you are an inquiry, current client or previous client and whether certain records must be retained for accounting, contractual or legal purposes.
When personal information is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymized where appropriate.
9. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.
