5. Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
General enquiries and project communications are retained until they have been handled, followed by an appropriate period reflecting possible follow-up, legal obligations and potential disputes.
Where an enquiry develops into a client, supplier or partnership relationship, relevant records may be kept longer to meet contractual, tax, accounting or legal requirements.
Cookie preferences are retained for the period stated in the cookie settings.
