The protection of your personal data is important to me.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This may include, for example, your name, email address, telephone number, IP address, company information, location, or information contained in an IT support request.
Personal data is processed only where necessary to operate this website, respond to enquiries, provide IT support services, fulfil contractual obligations, or comply with legal requirements.
The relevant legal bases may include, in particular:
Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract.
Article 6(1)(c) GDPR where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR where processing is necessary for legitimate interests, provided that your interests or fundamental rights do not override those interests.
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where you have given consent to specific processing.
The GDPR requires controllers to provide information including the purposes and legal bases of processing, recipients, storage periods or criteria, and data-subject rights.

Your data will be retained only for as long as necessary to process the enquiry and fulfil any resulting contractual or statutory retention obligations.
The website contains a “Request IT Support” button.
