Retention, recipients, and transfers
Business inquiries are kept only as long as needed to respond, follow up, manage a potential or active business relationship, and meet legal or accounting obligations. Routine technical logs are retained according to the relevant hosting and security settings.
Contact form data is sent through Microsoft Azure and delivered to SVE Consulting's Microsoft 365 mailbox. Microsoft acts as an infrastructure and communication service provider. The form uses basic server-side abuse controls and does not use a third-party CAPTCHA service. Operational logs are configured not to include form contents.
Ordinary prospect inquiries may be kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact. If an inquiry leads to a client relationship, relevant records may be kept longer where required for contract, accounting, dispute, or legal obligations. When a provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, applicable safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or an equivalent transfer mechanism are used.
