Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:

• Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., marketing communications).
• Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g., providing our research services).
• Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for us to comply with the law.
• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your rights do not override those interests.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you. We will respond to such requests within one month.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including:

• The data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The data has been unlawfully processed

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or when processing is unlawful but you do not want the data erased.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transfer this data directly to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes and processing based on legitimate interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For residents of the European Union, you can find your local supervisory authority on the European Data Protection Board website.

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
• Binding Corporate Rules
• Other legally recognised transfer mechanisms

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable laws. When determining retention periods, we consider:

• The nature of the data and the purposes of processing
• Applicable legal and regulatory requirements
• Our legitimate business interests
• Industry practices

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Access controls and authentication
