4. How we use your information, and our legal bases
| Purpose | Information used | Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Replying to your enquiry and discussing possible work | Contact form data, correspondence | Our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us, and taking steps at your request before entering into a contract |
| Managing our relationship with clients, partners and suppliers | Contact details, correspondence | Performance of a contract, or our legitimate interests |
| Sending news and updates | Name, email | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time |

We do not use your information for automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects on you.
5. Cookies and analytics
We use essential cookies to run the site, and analytics cookies only if you accept them. Our analytics provider uses the information described in section 3.2 to produce statistics for us, such as visitor numbers, popular pages, traffic sources and conversion rates.

6. Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
We share it only with:
- Service providers who process it on our behalf and under our instructions: website hosting, form handling, email, analytics, customer relationship management and security services. They may only use it to provide their services to us.
- Professional advisers, such as lawyers and accountants, where needed.
- Authorities, when the law requires it, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or those of others.
- A successor organisation, if all or part of our business is reorganised, merged or sold. Your information would remain protected under this policy.
7. International transfers
We are based in Pakistan, and some of our service providers operate in other countries, including the United States and the European Union. When personal information from the EU, UK or other regions with transfer rules is sent to a country without an adequacy decision, we use recognised safeguards. These include the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or other measures the law allows.
8. How long we keep your information

|---|---|
| Enquiries and correspondence | Up to 24 months after our last contact with you, unless it becomes part of a business relationship, in which case we keep it for the length of that relationship plus any period the law requires |
| News and updates list | Until you unsubscribe |
| Job applications | Up to 12 months after the role is filled, unless you agree to a longer period |
| Analytics data | Up to 14 months, then deleted or kept only in aggregated form that doesn't identify anyone |
| Server and security logs, including IP addresses | Up to 90 days, unless needed to investigate a security incident |
| Records of your cookie choices | Up to 12 months, then you'll be asked again |
9. How we protect your information
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access to the people who need it, and service providers that commit to protecting it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and will act promptly if an incident occurs.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy
- correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete

- restrict how we use it
- object to our use of it, including where we rely on legitimate interests
- data portability: receive it in a structured, commonly used format, or have it sent to another organisation
- withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent (this doesn't affect what we did before you withdrew it)
- opt out of sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising (we don't sell or share it in this way)

We will respond within one month (or within 45 days where US state law applies), and tell you if we need more time and why. You can also use an authorised agent where the law allows.
11. Complaints
If you have a concern, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. If you are in the EU, you have the right to complain to the data protection authority in your country. In the UK, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). Elsewhere, you may contact the relevant authority where you live.
