4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we may rely on:

• Consent: where you have given us permission for a particular use.
• Pre-contractual steps or contract performance: where processing is needed to respond to your request, prepare an engagement or provide agreed services.
• Legitimate interests: where processing is reasonably necessary to operate our business, communicate with potential clients, improve the website, maintain security or protect our legal interests.
• Legal obligations: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

You may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the legal basis. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable essential website functions.
• Maintain website security.
• Remember preferences.
• Measure website traffic and performance.
• Understand how visitors use different pages.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Other cookies, including analytics cookies, may be optional.

Where legally required, optional analytics cookies will be used only after you have provided consent. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website functions.

6. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand general website activity and improve our content and website experience.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Number of visitors and sessions.
• Pages viewed.
• Approximate location.
• Browser and device information.
• Referring source.
• Website interactions.

Google processes analytics information on our behalf according to our account configuration and Google’s applicable terms. You can learn more about Google’s handling of information at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

You may also be able to prevent Google Analytics from using your browser data by installing Google’s browser opt-out add-on:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

7. Contact Forms and Communications

When you submit a contact form, the information you enter is processed so that we can receive, review and respond to your enquiry.

Your submission may be processed through our WordPress website, contact-form provider, hosting provider and email systems.

Submitting an enquiry does not create a client, agency, advisory or contractual relationship. Such a relationship will arise only if separately confirmed in writing.

8. When We Share Information

We may share personal information with trusted third parties when reasonably necessary, including:

• Website hosting and technical service providers.
• Contact form and email service providers.
• Analytics providers.
• IT, cybersecurity and website maintenance providers.
• Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers.
• Suppliers, inspectors, service providers or local contacts involved in an agreed coordination matter.
• Government authorities, regulators or law-enforcement bodies where legally required.

When information must be shared with a supplier or service provider for a specific engagement, we will limit the information to what is reasonably necessary.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

9. International Data Transfers

SLORRIE provides China-based coordination to people and businesses in different countries. As a result, information may be processed in China or in other countries where our service providers or relevant project parties operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your location. Where required, we will take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Please avoid sending confidential or sensitive documents until the appropriate communication and handling arrangements have been agreed.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

As a general guideline:

• Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement may be retained for up to 24 months after the last communication.
• Client, service and project records may be retained for the duration of the engagement and for up to seven years afterward where necessary for legal, accounting or record-keeping purposes.
• Analytics information is retained according to our Google Analytics account settings.
• Information may be retained longer where required by law or needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Information may be deleted or anonymised earlier when it is no longer reasonably required.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures intended to protect personal information against:

• Unauthorised access.
• Accidental loss.
• Misuse or alteration.
• Unauthorised disclosure.
• Destruction.

However, no website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending highly confidential information through an ordinary contact form or unencrypted email.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your information.
• Request restriction of certain processing.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent.
• Request a portable copy of certain information.
• Complain to an appropriate data-protection authority.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some rights are subject to legal exceptions, including situations where information must be retained to meet legal obligations or protect legal rights.

13. Children’s Privacy

This website and SLORRIE’s services are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

The website may contain links to third-party websites. SLORRIE does not control those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices, content or security.

You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.
