Who we share it with. We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the business, including Wix (website hosting, forms and email), Calendly (scheduling), HubSpot (contact management and email) and Google Analytics (website statistics), and with professional advisers where required. When we deliver market-entry or outsourced team services, we may share business contact details with partners in the Gulf or Southeast Asia, but only with your agreement and for that engagement.

International transfers. Some providers and partners are outside the UK, for example in the United States, the UAE or Vietnam. Where data leaves the UK, we rely on UK adequacy regulations or approved safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.

How long we keep it. Enquiries that do not lead to work: up to 2 years. Client records: 6 years after the engagement ends, for tax and legal reasons. Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe.
