Any information about you is treated with confidentiality.
Some of this information may be shared with: accounts (external accountant, billing software, bank), suppliers on a need to know basis (e.g. interpreters if they need to meet you, data on documents they are working on, etc.), employees as necessary (e.g. project managers). All these parties are GDPR-compliant.
We do not sell your personal information to other parties.
