For any request relating to personal data: [contact email to confirm].
Data we collect
Through the contact form: name, entity or organisation, email address, phone number (optional), class of business, indicated timing and the text of your message.
Automatically: the minimal technical data needed to keep the site secure and working (server logs). The audience measurement used is cookieless and does not identify the visitor.
Purposes and legal basis
Data is used only to respond to your enquiry and to take steps at your request prior to any engagement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), and for our legitimate interest in handling the messages we receive (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Retention
Form data is kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and related correspondence, then for any period required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Recipients
Data is never sold or shared for marketing. It may be processed by suppliers acting as processors (hosting, email, audience measurement) under an Art. 28 GDPR contract.
No data is passed to insurers except within a later engagement and on your instruction.
Transfers outside the EEA
Some suppliers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, the transfer is covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
Cookies and the map
The site sets no profiling cookies. The office map (Google Maps) loads only after an explicit click: until then, no data is sent to Google.
Your rights
You may exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection by writing to the address above.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Maltese supervisory authority, the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (idpc.org.mt).
