4. Legal basis for processing
We process your personal information where it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement, where we have a legitimate interest in doing so, where you have given consent, or where processing is required to comply with the law. You may withdraw your consent at any time, although this may affect our ability to provide certain services to you.
5. Sharing your personal information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our business and website — such as IT and hosting providers, professional advisors and contractors — and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services. These parties are required to protect your information and may not use it for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal information where required to do so by law or by a competent authority.

7. How long we keep your information
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required to comply with legal, accounting or reporting obligations, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
8. How we protect your information
We maintain appropriate, reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, unauthorised access, disclosure or misuse. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
