- Fulfilling applicable legal and administrative obligations.
Depending on the circumstances, our legal basis for processing personal information may be our legitimate business interests, taking steps towards a contract, performing a contract or complying with a legal obligation.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider those interests alongside the rights and interests of the individuals concerned.
Any commercial outreach is also subject to applicable electronic communications and marketing legislation.
4. Where Your Information Comes From
Most personal information is provided directly by individuals who contact us or engage our services.
Where relevant to our business development activities, we may also obtain professional information from publicly available business sources, commercial directories and supplier listings.

Where necessary, information may also be shared with professional service providers or specialists involved in delivering agreed services.
We limit information sharing to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.
We will confirm whether our service providers transfer personal information outside the European Economic Area and identify any applicable safeguards before finalising this policy.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
As a proposed retention policy, general enquiries that do not result in a business relationship will be retained for up to 12 months following the last relevant communication.
Business prospecting records will be reviewed regularly and deleted when they are no longer relevant or necessary.
Client and financial records may be retained for longer periods where required by applicable law or necessary to resolve contractual matters.
We regularly review the personal information we hold and delete information that is no longer required.
7. Website Analytics and Cookies
Ligeza Advisory does not currently use Microsoft Clarity or other advertising and behavioural analytics tools.
Website fonts are hosted locally rather than being requested directly from an external font provider.
Our hosting provider may process technical access logs necessary for website delivery, security and maintenance.
