communicate with clients, consultants, contractors and suppliers;

Our legal basis for using your information
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal information because:
it is necessary to respond to your request or enter into or perform a contract with you;
it is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating and developing Studio AWA;
you have given us consent, for example for non-essential cookies or particular communications; or
we must comply with a legal obligation.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us.
Sharing your information
We may share relevant information with trusted organisations that help us operate the practice and provide our services. These may include website and email providers, cloud-storage and IT services, professional advisers, consultants, contractors and other members of a project team.
Our website is hosted by Hostinger, and we use Google services, including Google Analytics and Site Kit, to understand how visitors use the website.
We only share information where it is necessary and expect our service providers to protect it appropriately. We may also disclose information where required by law.
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate legal safeguards for international transfers.
How long we retain information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet our legal, contractual, insurance and professional obligations.
Unsuccessful initial enquiries will normally be retained for up to two years. Information connected with an appointed project may be retained for longer where necessary for professional, contractual or legal reasons.
