3. Where we obtain personal data
We generally obtain personal data directly from you. In some cases, we may receive professional contact details and engagement-related information from your employer or contracting organization (our client) or from publicly available professional sources (e.g., company websites or professional networking platforms).

- Consent, where required (e.g., for certain cookies or specific processing activities).
5. Confidentiality
Our work may involve sensitive professional information about leadership, behavior and organizational dynamics. We treat such information with strict confidentiality. Access is limited to individuals directly involved in delivering our services and bound by contractual and professional confidentiality obligations. Professional trust is non-negotiable.
6. Data sharing
We may share personal data with carefully selected service providers, such as IT, cloud, communication and assessment platform providers, where this is necessary to deliver our services. We may also share engagement outputs (e.g., agreed reports or summaries) with the contracting organization (our client) where this is part of the engagement and agreed.
Where third parties process data on our behalf, this is governed by data processing agreements in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we apply appropriate safeguards, such as:
- European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs); or
- Transfers to countries subject to an adequacy decision.
7. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for:
- The purpose for which it was collected;
- The duration of our professional engagement;
- Compliance with legal, tax or regulatory obligations;
- The establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
After the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
8. Security
We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, including:
- Secure cloud infrastructure;
- Access controls and authentication (including multi-factor authentication where feasible);
- Encryption where appropriate;
- Contractual safeguards with service providers;
- Ongoing monitoring of information security risks.
