To plan and carry out work, manage bookings, invoices, payments and project documentation.

Legal bases under the GDPR include: performance of a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract, compliance with legal obligations (e.g. accounting and tax), our legitimate interests (running our business, website security, developing services) and, where required, your consent.

4. Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies:

Where a cookie banner is implemented, non-essential cookies (for example, marketing or advanced analytics cookies) are only used if you give your consent.

You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings. If we use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics), they process a limited set of technical data in line with their own privacy policies.

– technical logs and analytics – for a limited period, typically up to 24 months.

Anonymised data may be stored for a longer period for statistical purposes.

– Professional advisers (accountants, legal advisers, etc.), where necessary;
– Public authorities and regulators, where required by law or necessary to protect our rights.

We choose our service providers carefully and ensure they process your data securely and only on our instructions.

7. International data transfers
If any services we use are located outside the EU/EEA, data transfers are carried out with appropriate safeguards required by the GDPR (such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses).

8. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

– request access to your personal data and receive a copy;

If you believe that our processing of your personal data breaches data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority (for example, in Cyprus or in your country of residence).

We would appreciate the opportunity to resolve any issues directly with you first, so please contact us before submitting a formal complaint if possible.

10. Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We aim to minimise risks and keep our security measures up to date.
