4. How I Use Your Personal Data

I will only use your personal data when the law allows me to. Most commonly, I will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where I need to perform a contract with you.
• Where it is necessary for my legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
• Where I need to comply with a legal obligation.

Generally, I do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although I will get your consent before sending direct marketing communications to you. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting me.

Purposes for which I will use your personal data

I have set out below a description of all the ways I plan to use your personal data:

• To respond to your inquiries and provide information you request.
• To provide you with my CV when requested.
• To improve my website and present its contents to you.
• To contact you about professional opportunities when you have given consent.

5. Data Security

I have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, I limit access to your personal data to myself and others who have a legitimate need to know. They will only process your personal data on my instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

I have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where I am legally required to do so.

6. Data Retention

I will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes I collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. I may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if I reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to my relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, I consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which I process your personal data and whether I can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
