Where applicable data protection laws require a legal basis for processing personal data, The Brand Mechanics may process your data on one or more of the following bases:
- Consent, where you have agreed to receive marketing communications or accept optional cookies.
- Contractual necessity, where processing is required to respond to a request, prepare a proposal, enter into a contract, or deliver services.

- Legal obligations, where processing is necessary to meet applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Marketing Communications
With your consent, where required, we may send you information about our services, events, campaigns, insights, and other content that may be relevant to your professional role or organisation.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us at hello@brand-mechanics.com.

How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or rent personal data.
We may share personal data with trusted third parties where necessary for legitimate business purposes, including:
- Technology, hosting, analytics, CRM, email marketing, event registration, and website service providers.
- Professional advisers, including legal, accounting, insurance, and audit providers.

- Clients, where information is collected as part of a campaign, event, registration, lead generation, or service engagement conducted on their behalf.
- Government authorities, regulators, law enforcement bodies, or other parties where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect our legal rights.
Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they are required to protect the data and use it only for authorised purposes.
International Data Transfers
The Brand Mechanics operates across the Middle East, Africa, and wider EMEA region. Your personal data may be processed, stored, or accessed in countries outside the country in which it was collected.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining business records, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.
The retention period may vary depending on the nature of the data, the purpose for which it was collected, our contractual obligations, and applicable legal requirements. When personal data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise, or securely archive it in accordance with our internal retention practices.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical, administrative, and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Although we take appropriate steps to protect personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through our website or systems.
