4. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA and UK Residents)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information depends on the specific information and the context in which it is collected:

• Contractual necessity — where processing is necessary to respond to your inquiry or fulfill a service agreement

We may share your information with:

We do not disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their own commercial purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Business correspondence and contact records are generally retained for a period of up to five (5) years, after which they are securely deleted or anonymized unless a longer retention period is legally required.

7. International Data Transfers

As a company engaged in international trade and commerce, we may process or store your information in the United States or other countries. Where required by applicable law, we take appropriate measures — such as standard contractual clauses — to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection when transferred internationally.

10. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.
