We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. We may share data with sub-processors required for the operation of the site (hosting provider) or the delivery of engagements. All sub-processors are bound by data processing agreements and are located within the EEA.

5. Data Retention

Enquiry form data: 24 months from submission or the duration of the engagement relationship. Analytics data: 26 months in anonymised form. Engagement data: as required by applicable commercial and tax law (typically 10 years under German HGB).
