How we use your data

• To schedule and prepare meetings.
• To improve our website and understand interest in our work.

Lawful bases: legitimate interests (partner outreach, platform operations) and, where required, consent.

Data may be processed in the United States and other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards.

Retention & security

• EOI form messages are kept for up to 24 months or until you ask us to delete them.
• We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no method is 100% secure.
