We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety.
12. International data transfers
Some of the services we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful under applicable data protection law.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
Because third-party providers may update their infrastructure, locations, and transfer mechanisms, their current privacy documentation may contain more detailed information about their international data processing.
13. How long we keep your information
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
The appropriate period depends on the type of information and why we hold it.

enquiry and correspondence data may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the relationship and any resulting business or legal matters;
client and contractual information may be retained for periods required by applicable accounting, tax, contractual, or legal obligations;
