We may also collect anonymised usage data via cookies (see Section 7).
3a. Publicly Available Business Information
In some cases, we may process business contact details that are already publicly available (for example, from company websites, professional platforms such as LinkedIn, business directories, or official registers like Companies House).
We only use such information to identify and contact businesses that may benefit from our services. We do not buy or share third-party lists, and all outreach is based on information in the public domain.

- Contract — when you become a client or request services from us.
- Legal obligation — where we must retain data for accounting or compliance.
- Legitimate interest — when we contact businesses using publicly available information to introduce our services, or when maintaining a business relationship with existing or former clients. We only process minimal business contact details for this purpose, and you can request removal at any time.
