Information collected automatically:

• Technical data: IP address (used for rate-limiting and abuse prevention), user-agent, referring URL, and pages viewed.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we put appropriate safeguards in place, including standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised under applicable law.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, or to resolve disputes. Typical retention periods are:

• Contact enquiries: up to 24 months after the last interaction.
• Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@daiconsultancy.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (typically 30 days).

We maintain technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include transport-layer encryption (HTTPS), access controls, rate-limiting, input validation on all web forms, and ongoing monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
